Hello Family and Friends!
Life is good up here in the bug-invested northwoods. My past month has been wonderful -- a good balance between relaxing and doing my work as Business Manager for the Atikokan base of Northern Tier. I am enjoying the work and another summer full of fun people and great memories. And, though it's busy with work, life has been fairly ho-hum. There is nothing much to speak of...but I guess no news is good news, right??
The weather has consisted of rain, more rain, a peak of sunshine, and more rain :( The weather has been getting better, and with less rain let's hope the bug diminish somewhat (dreams!). The crews seem to be having a good time and we have only had a few minor issues as we open for the season. The crews certainly help remind me of why I'm here and why I do what I do. I love helping people have a trip of a lifetime and wish them all the best on their high adventure!
Today was my first real day off since starting work on June 3rd, one month ago. It was a beautiful day, weather wise, and it was great sleeping in and going to town with friends. We went to the ballpark, walked around town, and enjoyed the day relaxing. Tonight we celebrated Canada Day (July 1st) and the 4th of July, combined in one, with a barbecue. The other night we had fireworks to celebrate Canada Day and we all wore our "Canada apparel."
This time of year doesn't come without its memories. A year ago (Sunday) I lost a friend from high school and two years ago, tomorrow, my Grandfather. May they rest in peace and watch over us in our earthly lives.
I hope all is well in your lives and that each day brings you new opportunities. Enjoy the ever-fleeting moments and cherish those around you!
