It's Monday....my first "real" day of unemployment...!!
And this was what i woke-up too.....

Mia in my face......with that.."your home...your home...come on get up....come on..!!" look....

Another One Bites the Dust........

....Yes, Bloggerville....another camping season is over for me....!!

Due to some minor budget problems ....... i agreed to leave 3 weeks early....

I'm happy......i don't mind.....i'm ready for my winter break.....

It has been an exhausting season of firsts....

First full year of the reservation system.......first full year of working at "one" park, instead of dividing my time between two......first full year of dealing with "first-time" campers.....first year for the New River Celebration or the "Snot Otter" day as we like to call it....

It's been an edcational....crazy....fun.....season....

The park will remain open and functional for the remaining winter months without me....

I'll miss the girls, all the rangers, the maintenance guys and the daily rat-race of working....

But....then.....i've got a to-do list as long as my arm waiting for me at home...

Maybe i can slowly work thru that list...... or not.....

After all March is only 3 1/2 months away....!!

I'll Be Back...New River....I'll Be Back....!!

Thankful Thursday......

Misskitty here.....

Unless Boomer is on a rant, she almost never post about religion or politics....

However......on this Thankful Thursday....

Whether last Tuesday's election went your way or not....

Let's be thankful that we live in a country that gives us the freedom and the right to cast our votes and express our opinions...

ps.....Capt. Jack....it's OK to talk to a cat...especially a wise one....!!

Almost Wordless Wednesday.....

Introducing the newest find at the park...

Ranger Paul found this little tree within 100 feet of the front gate...

And then the maintenance guys trimmed around it's base so we can keep a close watch on it....

Just looking at it each day ..makes me wonder...."How?"

Enjoy

Snow...!!??

Yep...it's a come'n...!!

The local weather gurus are predicting snow flurries, starting Thursday night and lasting thru Saturday.....

Of course they're saying it will be at the higher elevations and mostly on the west side of the Blue Ridge....

But...what if you live sort'a on the East side and are at a mid-elevation.....like us...??!!

The Florida weather gurus would call us in the "Cone of Probability.."

Should we run out ...shop.....and prepare for a major "snow-in"....?

Nawwwww......i'm counting on it melting before it hits the ground.....

One of my many dreams in life....

Enjoy

It's Monday.......!!!!

These are so colorful and cute, I could not resist a picture or two.....

They were in the planters along the street between the movie theater and the cheese factory...

And yes.....that is their real color....!

The malechild body blocked the sun so the glare would not fade them out....

Would you call them purple or periwinkle blue....??

Anyway ......we went to see "RED"....love that Bruce Willis.....
