Yesterday was one of those days where Josie never got out of her pajamas until it was time to get ready for work, and I watched some TV while working on my latest cross stitch. Josie is working on a new afghan, and it was a nice time to do nothing but relax. Everybody needs a day like that once in awhile.
More haze has moved in from the Idaho wildfires, and it seems like August and most of September will be like this every year. It's hard to imagine a year without any wildfires, so we may just have to expect this scenario every year we return. Once again though, we feel sorry for the guests that have traveled thousands of miles to see the mountains and enjoy the parks. I'm sure that every location in the northwest is experiencing this phenomena as there are fires in just about every state in the west. The east has its humidity and risk for tornadoes and hurricanes, and the west has its forest fires and haze in the northwest and unbearable heat in the southwest. It's tough to find the right combination. This area comes pretty close though.
Day two of our work week will be spent with Donna at the front desk. Even though we sold out last night, it seems like a slower pace has arrived as the people that are staying at the lodge are staying multiple days. More and more of the kids have returned to school and we now see fewer families at the lodge. The phones are also slowing down and there are only about 6 weeks to go for the season. We will soon be planning our trip to IL.
We didn't get the grass mowed yesterday, so it is on the schedule again for today. We also need to take a trip to the grocery store, so today will be a little different from yesterday...
