Our second day with a substitute for Donna was a smooth business day. Senne, the girl taking Donna's place, was nice to work with and we saw some continued changes in the pace. We noticed that over the last week the number of guests has shrunk somewhat and the telephones are not ringing as much as they had been for the last 8 weeks. Also, it seems that the kids are back to school and the guests have taken on an older profile. There were no kids around over the weekend and it appears that we have gone full circle now since we started working in early June. It is with mixed feelings that we welcome the slower pace. When it's busy, the time goes faster, but when the pace gets slower, it is a more controlled atmosphere. We have not sold out in the lodge for the last week and, except for a couple of special events coming up, will probably not sell out for the rest of the summer.
We relaxed at home following work yesterday and actually watched some westerns on TV for the first time in a long while. How The West Was Won was on the Westerns Channel and it was good to see some familiar scenery in a movie for a change.
The plan for our winter months is still unclear - at least past October. We are still watching for opportunities in AZ and expect to find something in the near future. There are always instances where an employer has to make last minute substitutions for people that cancel and we are hoping that happens soon for us. Meanwhile, we can at least expect to enjoy some down time and relax for a month or two...
