This has been the week from hell and the week from somewhere else (not quite heaven) all at the same time. First of all, let me say that it has been raining all week, except for about 6 hours. Of course, I don’t stay up all night counting the hours that it doesn’t rain, so I am not sure about the absolute truth of that statement, but suffice it to say that my impression, and I am sure the impression of our guests, is that the ark had better arrive soon because The Rains are here.”
Well, I wrote the above on a dark rainy night between Christmas and New Years—the no man’s land of resorts. That week was something else AND it was also very rewarding because we actually handled it and had some amazing teamwork happening. We started every day around 6 a and the latest we finished was 11:30 pm on New Year’s Eve, just in time to ring in the new year. So, we survived our first resort holiday and it was hard and it was also pretty cool.
Here we are several weeks later and I am finally getting back to write my blog. Bonnie and Sylvia arrived on January 2, and Tim and Tara and Addie came on the 9th and they all left today. We had a wonderful time together, despite off and on rain. They especially enjoyed Turtle Beach, the cave tour and the zipline canopy tour. We spent lots of time just being together and cooking and talking. It was a wonderful time and we will miss them! But… more guests soon to arrive- tomorrow, in fact!
Again, we look at each other and say “how bizarre”- our lives, so different than they were last year at this time. And it’s ok, it’s fine, in fact. We are doing just fine. Maybe bizarre suits us better than we thought.
