The last potluck dinner for the season was held last night and it was a special program that had been planned for several weeks. Unfortunately, we had to work during the time that the dinner was scheduled so Josie and I (and Karen and George and several other people) were relieved long enough to eat and get back to work. Every potluck that was scheduled this year was scheduled during our working hours and we couldn't really enjoy the camaraderie - or wine - that was part of these events. It is a result of being "rookie" workers, I guess, since the only people left in the dining room were folks that have been here more than 1 year or were management. There were door prizes for this last potluck and even though we weren't present for the drawings, our tickets - with our names on them - were still eligible for prizes even though we weren't there. Josie and I each won: Josie won a NASCAR mug and I won a $25 gift certificate to our gift shop. I took the following pictures of the gift shop cashier area where Josie works:
The gift shop is huge and contains lots of high end merchandise.
The final day of our work week is today. We will probably take our last trip to Yellowstone tomorrow and we hope to leave by around 6 AM so we can arrive at the park during one of the peak wildlife viewing times in the early morning. An effort will be made to get to bed tonight at an early hour so that we can make the scheduled departure. Until tomorrow...
