Deer Are Back

Shortly after my post of yesterday and just as the sun finally came out, guess who showed up outside the rig? Right, the deer family is back. They were walking all around the fifth wheel and I happened to get this shot of one that was grazing right outside our rear window:

They were all standing up and staring at us as Josie and I left for work at 8 AM. They probably are happy to see the sun just like we are.

Our last day of this long work week is today. When we are working 8 hour days and working 5 of them in a row, starting at 8 AM, it makes it seem longer between play days. That, plus having very few customers in camp and in the store make it seem even longer. Today is actually a 9 hour day for us - 10 hours for Josie. You see, the schedule shows Josie working 8-5, and me working 9-6 today. But since we are the only ones working, I actually go in with Josie to help her open, and she stays until 6 to help me close. Actually, Josie gets credit for 10 hours today since she will take the phone home tonight (to answer off hours calls) and will get an extra hour credit for that. Today is also the final day for this pay period and we are always happy to see those days come along.

It has been great watching the Olympics on TV these last couple weeks. It is always a little sad for us to see them end with the closing ceremony. Our team has done us proud and will end with the most medals which is a first for our country in the Winter Olympics - and will set a record for most medals won. It seems fitting that the final event would be the gold medal game for hockey between the US and Canada. Go USA!!!
