I gots grills!

One of the great things about my summer seasonal job is just that, the season of summer.  Everyday I get to stand out on our third story deck off the kitchen that overlooks the cabins, bunk houses, canoes, docks and of course our lake.  In the evening as I grill steaks and pork chops for our weathered guests who have just come back from week long camping trips the sun begins its descent over our lake.   Most of the guests are coming back from their canoe trips and once they walk under the deck and smell and hear the crackle of the grill there are non stop compliments of how great it smells.  It feels good to be the one to cook their meal after a week or so of dehydrated foods.  
 Up here the sun doesn't completely go down until somewhere between 10 and 10:30!  It makes for a very long evening and sometimes, the time just flies and before I know it it is way past my bedtime.  Waking up at 5:30 working a ten hour day with a three hour break in between, which I usually spend hiking usually leaves me very exhausted once my day is through, with not too much time for what or energy for what I want to be doing, reading, canoeing  and socializing with the guests.  I thought with so little out here I would have so much time but really everyday there is something new to see and explore.  The woods can be a real amusement park if you let them be filled with color and inspiration and our Mother/Creator!  
This summer stuff yourself with lots of food and relieve your stomach with lots of wooded walks!

cheers!
