More at Flaming Gorge Resort

We have had a chance now to settle into our new routine. Jim's hours have been changed to noon to 8pm while I have a couple of evenings as well as my two splits. Here's a good thing! So far I have lost 12lbs and Jim has lost 6lbs.! Woohoo!! We are both discovering muscles we forgot we had but we kind of expected that.

We have had a few snow showers over the last few weeks, some great days also (preview of coming attractions) and last night a dandy thunder/lightning storm. Looks like either rain or snow today also. Oh well, they promise that summer is on it's way.

Jim has gone fishing several times with great success in fact, the other evening at Sheep Creek he caught about 2 dozen 1-2lb. rainbows. When the weather warms up more we will take a raft down the river which we have never done before.

We have two sons that live about 3 hrs. away in Craig, CO which we have visited twice so far. Our grandkids there, Cameron and Savanna are already planning their summer visit so I'll need to find a sitter here for about 3 hrs. a day when our schedules cross. It should be fun to have them all to ourselves though!

Oh, another thing. The monthly dog fee here at the resort was canceled which made everyone happy. It wasn't the workampers that didn't want to pick up the canine deposits so this is a much fairer way of doing things.

The mule deer just crossed behind our motorhome and our two dogs, River and Harley, are trying to convince me they are deer hounds...NOT! Love to watch the deer!! Also, I've never been much of a birdwatcher but I must admit they have some of the prettiest birds around here which of course, I don't know the names of but love to watch.

We have been picking up a couple of things that we have needed or wanted such as an exercise pen for the dogs, car parts, etc. The only possible negative here is that we are expecting new uniform shirts which my boss, Woody, wants us to tuck in....problem is, I don't tuck my shirts in nor will I...ever! He's a very nice, young guy with the cutest little wife and he doesn't understand that women my age (not all but many) do not tuck shirts in so I told him if he insists I would give him a two week notice. I know it sounds silly but I think I do a good job and if I had to tuck then I would be so self-concious I think my efforts would suffer. Yes, it's that important to me. So far, we have kind of stopped talking about it for the moment. I guess time will tell.
