That 'Ol Black Magic



Not much to report except we've had a run of hot, sunny days. Sunday we worked and rested after our late night antics on "Halloween." Monday was more work and the same for Tuesday. Tuesday was our second employee "Pickle" day (don't ask) and we get half off all items in the stores and grill. So we ate lunch and dinner out and went to see a terrific Halloween display put on by two of our guests. They have hundreds of scary props and things that light up and vibrate and are really scary. Then we went shopping for a few things. We rode our bikes to the Lodge store and just as we were beginning to eat our ice cream cones it started to pour. We were stuck inside so we made the best of it by sitting in some comfy sample chairs and ate our ice cream and talked to others avoiding the rain. It only lasted a few minutes, but enough to soak our bicycle seats and give us wet tushes on the way home.

Today was peaceful and we didn't begin work until dinnertime. I sat outside and read most of the morning. Lunchtime we got a call from a couple that live in Sun City and are active in the theatre. Jeff has been playing phone tag with them as he has some theatre questions and they've been travelling in Colorado. When Jeff asked where they were now they were a few exits from our campground. So Bernie and Wendell MacNeal stopped by and we enjoyed lunch together and good conversation. It's so great to see folks from Sun City.
After some more resting we decided to tag along on a tubing trip and that as always is lots of fun and relaxing. Tonight our campfire was fun with songs and ghost stories. We had our largest crowd yet and everyone sang and were truly scared of the ghost story.
