Ok, I'm ready to go back

After working at Mt Rushmore for only two months I'm ready to go back to work and stay in the interesting work environment. Some days it was just a job, most days it was fun and I so enjoyed talking with the tourists on vacation. Did I know I was going to miss all those people I had met? Sheesh!!

I sure would like to hear from Nancy. Give her my e-mail address. Barb I miss all the people we meet at Mt Rushmore. For me it was like an Utopia. December I will be 68yrs old and I feel 16. I talk with Pam on the phone a couple times a week. She is @ Grand Caynon south rim in a pet hotel for Xantera. Sounds like fun to me. I am goin on a cruise from Dec. 12 to 20th. Eastern Carriabean.

Hello sis, looking forward to the visit. I'm looking for some people who have worked at Tower in Yellowstone so I can ask about the dorms and such. Any thing else you want me to bring your way when I come?

Hey that is great I will look for you. But I know I will see you off and on in the EDR (Employees Dining Room) We all have to take our meals there. Yes it has been rather cool this June and I am also ready for some warmer weather. Business has been good, we are up 11% over last year and last year was a very good year. I too am working on a list of what I need to live in a dorm. I don't think I will pull my RV around anymore. See how that works out for me. Never know until I try it. Be careful on the road.

Yes, I started orientation today. But since we have a new owner I thought maybe some things would be different. Some are and some have not changed. The weather here has been mild about 47 today but it has started a light rain. That may turn into snow Fri and Sat. I had to stay in the dorm guest room while I was waiting for my RV spot to be emptied. Darryl/Patsy, his wife are Leads and fulltime employees and they stay in the space I stay in, they take the winter and I have the summer. But tonight I get to sleep in my own bed, that will be nice.

Looking forward to meeting you also. They are bidding on the Cape down in Florida and The Statue of Liberty, don't know much about it at this time but have my ear open for more info.
We have had a brisk business already. So it might be better than we all thought at first.
Later Barb

Your right Quartzsite has not been that busy. But it was fun anyway.
When I saw the different holes on that golf course I thought it might be quite a challenge for those that do play. One can only get on top of Washington and Jefferson. The other two are not connected to the first ones. I will be up there for the whole summer until the end of Sept. My sister and her husband will be working there also this summer. We all have a good time, if that is what you want to have. Later Barb.
