76 of 365 of What it is Like to Run a Resort


Tuesday, Sept. 28, 2010.

The picture is of some mushrooms and leaves. John has an eye for these things and he took the picture on a hike with the dogs.

Our recycling dumpster was taken away today. There was hardly anything in it but it is our last one of the season. We will call them in the spring to take it away again the next time. I went to the customer's cabin who are here for a month and put their recycling in the dumpster. It hardly made a difference. The dumpster was severely empty. Oh well.

I was on a mission today. I loaded up the van with the cleaning supplies and started on the cabins. I cleaned the Ironwood, Aspen, and Maple cabin in one day. Ironwood cabin would have customers arriving tomorrow. I was going to be visiting with my son on Wednesday so I had to clean it today. The cabins were fairly clean so they went fast.

Needless to say I was very tired after cleaning three cabins.

John was working for hours trying to adjust all the piers. The water keeps rising and the piers keep getting under the water. He's had his hands full.

I got a phone call from a friend late afternoon. It was really nice to hear from her. I sat outside the cabin talking to her and after awhile noticed I was really cold. A cold front came in and in a matter of an hour we lost 10 degrees or more.

The colors on the trees are at their peak. It is absolutely amazing to see how the fall colors brighten up everything. Our island, lake and drive all are absolutely beautiful.

I made us dinner and we relaxed for awhile. Since no one came into the lodge, we closed up and went to bed. The day just flew by.
