A Graduation and a Birthday

Jeni and I have been busy working 8hr shifts at Yosemite Pines Resort.It is a lot of fun. Jeni works in the office and helps fold laundry for the cabins, I work maintenance and occasionally drive the Hayride on the weekends. We sure love it and, were making money! The managers, Jesse and Aimee are the best.
 Gary and Martha rented a cabin and visited us here. Then we all headed to Sacramento for Grandaughter Alyx's high school graduation. It was a moving experience for Jeni and I, Aginst all odds this amasing young lady graduated and is off to college. In spite of all the Grad parties that night she chose to be with her family This is one proud Grandpa.
 We also were surprised to find out we were off work for Waylans 1st birthday so we headed back to Sacramento. We got to party with Lil Waylan. We only stayed about 5 hrs and then we headed back to the resort.The end of May and the first days of June have gone by fast.Here are some pics of the last few weeks.

this is our manager at Yosemite Pines Jesse. He is great to work for

Jeni at Priest grade cafe, a delightful cafe overlooking the valley below.One of the fine little eateries in the area.

Back at the park on the weekends I occasionally drive the tractor for the hayride.

Its been a busy May for us.And June looks to be just as busy as May was.Jeni and I plan to visit every inch of Yosemite this summer and the surrounding towns in the gold country.
 We are one big happy family at the park. On Wednesday we close early and have a potluck and play cards.It just like being at Park Sierra. There are 29 of us working here and everybody is just a delight to work with.Lets hope the love continues in Sept! Ha Ha.
We are already thinking of places to work this winter. One place we are thniking of  working is down in Ventura close to my Brother.The resort is called Ventura Beach Resort.We are working this summer and the winter so we can travel north next summer to Yellowstone park and South Dakota.
We will undoughtily be heading back to Sacramento during the summer for some Grandkid time.just as we did in May......for a Graduation and a Birthday.....See Ya
