Committed

Our mindset now is to prepare for our departure to Lincoln City. There were a couple of potential employers for the summer that we sent emails to in order to inform them that we would be taking another job. This is the best time of the year to get commitments for the summer season. The job market started in January with a few jobs being offered each day, but now it is running at a rate of about 10 jobs a day being offered in the Workamper Hotline. Of course, most of the jobs are offered in areas that we aren't interested in - yet. We expect to head east and work for a time, maybe as early as next winter. You may recall that we were looking in Florida last year and we will do the same this year. But for the time being, we're happy to have located a nice park, on the ocean, in Oregon for the summer.

Another thing we'll miss here is our deer family. They came around visiting again yesterday and were grazing all around our fifth wheel. It still surprises me that with the 8 or 9 deer we see all the time, we have not seen one buck among them. We are told that there are some big ones around but we haven't seen them. Anyway, this is probably the last photo we'll take of these deer:




There is a meeting in the office that was called for today at 10 AM. We aren't too happy that they scheduled a meeting during our days off but we aren't the only ones who have to go while they are off. I guess if we had scheduled a trip somewhere, we wouldn't have to attend. Darn. I'm still nursing my cold so we didn't schedule anything yesterday or today, but we're thinking that tomorrow we will venture out to Yosemite. We have been looking forward to that trip...
