Dee I love thunderstorms too. I can't wait for the first one here. It will be my first time experiencing thunderstorms at this elevation.

It's been a busy week at work. On my work days I don't do a whole lot, I pretty much just go back to my room after dinner. Yesterday I drove around the employee housing I'll be moving into on Thursday. I'm anxious to get over there so I can get settled. They are allowing me to move on Thursday instead of waiting until Saturday.

That's my big adventure for Thursday and Friday... move to the dorms and get settled in. I still have some management training to do as well, so I'll probably be doing a little of that.

The entrance to Yellowstone that's close by will be opening on the 14th, I'll definitely be doing a little exploring then. Oh, and I found out the horses will be arriving in a week or two. I won't be able to ride them until early to mid June, but I can stop by and visit them... I love horses!

It will be nice for you to get settled in to your own space

How exciting to be able to explore Yellowstone! I would have to take hundreds of pics
I love horses too I wish I could go for a nice trail ride and see some of nature’s beauty.
It’s been years, and years since I’ve been horseback riding. My hubby is allergic to them

That's a shame he's allergic to them. Would you still be able to go on a trail ride without him? If you washed your clothes right afterwards, it might not effect him.

Yes, it's nice to be in the space I'll be for the next five months. It makes it easier to relax and settle in. Half my stuff was still in the car because I didn't want to unload everything just to turn around and pack it all up a couple weeks later. It gave me a feeling of being in limbo. I still have some organizing to do, but my little treasures are out. I have a little shelf above my bed, I put my little treasures and some of my crystals there, and have the wall hangings up. So my bed area is at least finished. It's nice and cozy.

What! You mean you'll be in one place for a whole 5 months? Flippin heck, that's almost putting a root in.

Good to hear that you could finally settle in!
Yellow Stone... lucky girl! Enjoy it.

Haha, it will go by way too quickly to plant roots. It took me about a year to finally put in some roots in New Hampshire, then I left six months later, lol. I've a feeling I'll come back here next summer though, it's a pretty cool place.

Thanks Crystal. I unpacked my oracle cards and did a little reading this morning. The Angel's message was spot on. Between the 12 days of travel and being in a temporary place for close to three weeks, I became complacent with my daily spiritual stuff. The last week or so I started losing sight of why I came here and noticed I was feeling all alone and fear was starting to set in. So I'm glad I get to stay put for a short while. And I'll need to remember to not pack everything away, haha. Make up a small box of spiritual stuff that's easily accessible during the travel time.

I'm looking forward to going to Yellowstone on Friday. Hopefully we won't have any snow storms that delay the opening day, haha. The South entrance is a seasonal road, so opening on time is contingent on the weather and road conditions.

I thought for a While How to Wish you A Good Morning on this Beautiful Sunday
so I just twist my words a Little and Say :
Good Morning River Spirit The Smart and the Owner of the Golden Heart !

Good morning Paul

Hope you’re having a great day today!

I guess I could go for a trail ride sometime, if I could find someone to go with me! Then I would have to avoid getting close to hubby until I got out of those clothes and into a shower... I don’t think that would bother his allergies 🤧. There’s not very many places to go riding near here but I’m sure I could find someplace not too far away. I would absolutely love that! You’re so lucky that you’ll have access to that before long!

Thanks Dee I did. I hope you had a great day as well

I always go by myself, I don't have anyone to go with either. One time in New Hampshire, it was just me and the guide. He sang cowboy songs the whole trip. I would rather have enjoyed the peace and quiet, and the sounds of nature, but it was different and kind of cool.

I was thinking trail riding started the first week in June, but it starts May 31st... WooHoo!!!

If it's not too cold in October, maybe we could go together

That sounds great! I’ll have to check into it for us!

Awesome!

Having a small box with some important spiritual goodies that you always have access to sounds like a very good idea!
And if ever in need for some guidance and stuck without your own things... I'm always happy to pull a card for you. If you wish leave the interpretation entirely up to you. Not exactly the same, but better than nothing.

Thanks Crystal, that's really nice of you. I will keep that in mind next time I'm without all my stuff... and most likely take you up on it, hihi.

hi River!

How are things going out West these days? I hope you’re having a good week after
getting settled in

I’ve been going to physical therapy twice a week (3 sessions so far, the 4th on Friday) for pain and stiffness in my neck and shoulders. It’s been bothering me for about 5 weeks now! So I haven’t been doing too much lately. The weather here is finally getting warmer and there’s no rain in sight for at least the next week

Dee

I hope the physical therapy helps, that's a long time to be in pain.

Life is good here. I'm pretty much settled in, just need to organize a little better. Especially if I end up getting a roommate.
I just got my refrigerator today. I don't really need one, but it will be nice to keep my drinks cold and when I have left over fruit, or want to have something other than what they serve in the dining room.

I have off tomorrow and Friday. Tomorrow I get my second covid vaccine. I'm hoping I don't have too many side effects. If not, then I want to ride to Yellowstone on Friday, provided it's not raining. Otherwise I wait until next week, the weather is supposed to be nicer. We had a thunderstorm this afternoon and it's supposed to rain tomorrow and possibly on Friday. The temperature has been in the high 60's, but will go down to the lower 50's for the next couple days.

Yesterday I went to the lake and waded in the water. It's freezing And very rocky so next time I'll take my water shoes. Tomorrow, on the way to get my vaccine, I'm going to ride by Jenny Lake, one of the other properties, to see if the horses have arrived.

Here at Colter Bay Village things start opening up for the public on Monday, so it will get even busier than it's been. It's already super busy so I can only imagine what it's going to be like.

Not much excitement as far as adventures, but once I get the covid thing out of the way, and they have the horses and kayaks out, I'll be doing more. I haven't ventured any of the trails yet, I'm too chicken because of the bears. But I did walk to dinner the other day, so I'll get out there on the trails eventually. Once there are more people, the bears will stay clear of the noisy areas... I hope, haha, so hiking will be a little less scary.

I like George, looking slick.
