It's been awhile! I've been in kitchen gridlock pretty much this past week, not really escaping until today - hahaha. Working late one day and starting early the next does not really create for an enjoyable week, but it's over now! :) It's my Saturday, so this will give a chance to relax and do nothing for two days before having to refocus on work. Things, I feel, are really going to ramp up in the kitchen this month as guests arrive, more and more, each day, and the mine workers continue to report to work.
Last night, I was invited up to the registrar's home (she's a woman in her mid-50's, very nice lady) to play card games with her and a few of her friends. I went up, and we had a great time playing Phase 10 - drank some wine, ate some popcorn - had a nice, relaxing evening! Her friends were from Bellingham, WA - a commercial fishing tycoon, one of them - headed back down the mountain tomorrow.
I left there around 10:00, and returned to my chalet, where my housemates and I proceeded to gather in the living room and tell stories of people who had died here in the Village. Eerie, yes. Some of them are told:
A man with a homeless group started towards the trail in an electric wheelchair. Later, at Hart Lake, when Hike Haus leads went searching for him, the wheelchair was all they found.
---
Bus drivers went down to Lucerne, to pick up a boat full of arrivals. They found a man down towards the lake, on the rocks, dead.
(Now, I'm sure these are myths, but still, at 10:00 at night they're fun to haunt people with - especially my housemate, Sally!).
Random end-of-post shot! A few nights ago I was sitting out on my porch swing and took this shot of the moon over Dumbell Mountain. Enjoy!
