No rest for the wicked. Programs have been wearing me out. Almost every school wants us to do something while we are there. I didn't realize that I would have to become an unofficial teacher down here. Basically when most of the school groups come in they want to start programs right away. So I get to present 5  to 6 programs to one school ( Read more... )

       So sorry, I haven't updated for such a long time. There are so many excuses I could use but I can't lie to ya all. I have been busy and a little bit lazy. Work has been going well. We are starting into our second busiest time of the year. Thus I have to give tons of programs to all the visiting school groups, it keeps me from missing ( Read more... )

      I was once told that I have the spirt of an elf (as hard as it might be to believe) and I am being think that that might be true in some way. I find myself staring at the trees or water gazing at the beauty before me. The colors are vivid and bold, pleasing to the eyes. Whispering winds drifting softly through the trees and the feel of the ( Read more... )

           Some days when I wake up and wonder where will I be in 5 years? Where will I be in 10 years? How will my life change from this point in time to that point in time? Life is a never ending aspect of change, nothing remains constant throughout time. You might be wondering if I am okay. Yes, I am. I have just have had the house to myself ( Read more... )

         Oh My God, it is so warm down here. You don't want to go out unless it is to run from you house to the car or vice versas. I had a great three days off and had a difficult time waking up this morning to actually go to work. My aunt and her family came down on Friday, which was a day early, to camp and visit with me. I got to show them ( Read more... )

       I can't believe it, I have been down here for one month. Certain things are becoming slowly familiar, however I still feel like an outsider on several other things. I have decided that I should really try to join in some activities at church or some volunteer organization, that way I can meet more people and try to make some friends outside ( Read more... )

               I was pretty happy today until I got into work. When I went to check up on all the the animals Brandon Springs has I found one turtle missing. This is a small turtle, so it isn't likely to have pushed to the top of it's cage, which has a light, off and walk away. There were two groups in camp, so I can only guess it had to be someone ( Read more... )

In just the few weeks that I have been here I have been a manager, biologist/wildlife specialist, pool cleaner, repair person, personal assistan, and now coast guard. Yesterday and today some people took a pontoon boat ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I finally got to head over to Wranglers campgrounds, where they have to horse backing riding area of LBL. There you can ride the trails with a guide and get to see a little bit of the landscape. I got to ride an apaplossa named Hank. He was sweet but a little stubborn. He reminder me of someone I know however I don't put a saddle on him ( Read more... )
