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


The picture is of Orla, our little golden princess. She was up on the hill by our Alder cabin.

Yesterday was Wednesday, April 20. The snow was light and in the afternoon it turned our beautiful. I took Orla for a walk and we found a little pond of water that wasn't frozen behind the Ironwood II cabin. She tentatively stepped in it and and then jumped out and ran around like crazy. She came back again and again, stepped a little further in the pond and then ran around like crazy again. She just naturally loves water.

I did 4 binders for the cabins, updating all the rules, rates and info. 3 loads of laundry later and enough trips downstairs and I had 4 bags of finished laundry put away and my laundry done from being away.

John had been working for days, off and on, cutting up a huge pine tree behind the Cedar cabin that fell. There was a section that looks like 4 legs and so he cut it and put it like a table stand near a trail. I have to think of something fun to do with that.

The lake was moaning today, as it expands and contracts with the melting. It sounds either like someone in the distance is bending large piece of sheet metal, or sometimes it sounds like a jet in the distance for just a second or two. Its sort of eerie but I like it.

We got a call from a customer who wants to come here 4/30. We will have to spring clean a cabin early so tomorrow we will try to put some pipes back together and turn on the water in the Aspen cabin. If all works well, we can start our spring cleaning this weekend.

We had two boys visit to see the puppy. Their mom chatted with us as they romped around with Orla outside. It was very cute. She played very well with them and we enjoyed watching.

It is back to work soon here. So John and I started discussing what needed to be done first. Reality bites.
