Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! It's an unusual one for us since it is the first time in about 24 years that Josie isn't working in a flower shop somewhere. She is still scheduled to work in the office today, but it's not the same. She wishes she had the whole day off though, to make the day a little more special. Actually, we are the only two people scheduled for the office today so it is our first time without experienced office help around.

The park is completely full now and we had a couple special occasions last night. We had a "Ranch Spuds" night in one half of the barn where baked potatoes were offered, with all the "fixins", to anybody and everybody. The other half of the barn had a pot luck dinner for the big club (Golden Nuggets) that is here. One of our staff members - Larry - is an entertainer and he kept the place jumping with his singing and guitar playing. I have a shot below of the gathering:

There were probably 30-35 people in the building and it made for a fun time. I was out and about the campground yesterday at different times taking candid shots of the group. I made a collage of the pictures and was going to hang it up in the barn last night but the printers in the office were low on color ink and, therefore, the pictures didn't look right with faded colors. I'll try to find a printer today that can be used. I don't want to use my personal printer since the print cartridges are expensive.

I also got some better shots of the office and store where we work. The first one shows the front desk area and entry:

The office is behind the desk and the person with Josie in the picture is Joyce, who has been here for a long time. The second shot is from the far corner of the store and shows the rest of the store and the sign that says "Hospitality Nook". That is a small area (off to the left) that was previously used for socializing but is now an area that I use to do the computer stuff:

It isn't a very large store but it still carries most of the items people need and at a pretty good price.

Now that the Olympics have started, we are copying most of the TV broadcasts so that we don't miss anything. It's always fun to watch them in our free time. Enjoy your Valentine's day everybody...
