Valentine's Social And Olympics

The day was fairly slow yesterday except for a Valentine's Day Social that our staff put on for everybody in the park. It was a cake and ice cream social that ran from 1 to 3 PM. Evidently, not a lot of people saw the flyer's that were posted around the campground, or they were busy watching the Olympics - or were on diets. Anyway, there were not many people that showed up. We did skip out of the office in the afternoon to go over and grab a piece of cake and some ice cream on our break. Since we were the only two in the office, we went separately and had to eat it in the office:

Today begins our 3 days off and we are looking forward to them. It was nice to sleep in this morning and we finally get a chance to watch the Olympics as they are happening. The way the schedule works, after working 5 days, we have 3 days off then 3 days working again before another 3 days off. It works out to 8 days working over a 2 week period which is the pay period. It's not complicated although it may sound like it.

The weather is getting more beautiful each day and we can see some of the trees budding. We have a map of all the wildflower areas in this part of California so we are anxious to get out and see those. The map not only shows the areas, but lists the month to see them and the names of the flowers to look for. There are also some things that we want to see after the threat of snow goes away, like the Calaveres Big Trees and Yosemite Park. In the meantime, we'll just enjoy the local scene and do some things in the Foothills close to home...
