Football, Trim & Housekeeping

Cabin 2

Cabin 2 from the outside, that pull out space is the bath we are residing

Today was a perfect example of the way I expect my days to go. While each is going to be different, today seemed to have a blend of everything.

We did not get up early, it being New Year’s Day and all, but we did get active pretty quick once up and coffeed. I started with responding to emails and pricing out a few cabins, took a call on a left behind Jacket, and opened a cabin for today’s check-in.

Pretzel and I enjoyed a great dog walk twice around the cabin loop and back to the main house in our -5 degreed morning and then met our departing guest to close out their bill. I learned how to use the credit card app on the new cellphone today and did it successfully! TWICE!

Then I headed down to start on housekeeping, but not before stopping in to see Victor in Cabin 2 where he has removed the fixtures and walls to rebuild them with the traditional pine car-siding that we have been using in our improvements. He is down to the final trim pieces. Then we install the toilet, a new sink/vanity/faucet & mirror and towel racks. Victor also fixed a pet pieve of his where the light switch should be at the entrance to the bathroom rather than across the room. We can’t wait to see what our Cabin 2 returning guests have to say.

I move next door to get started on my cabin cleaning with the TV on so I can yell at the news when appropriate. We head back to the front and have a great lunch. After lunch we head to the Den to watch the final quarter of the Badger Capital 1 Bowl Game, which we lost, but we did enjoy the turnover excitement of the last few minutes of the game. It was a non-beer day for me.  (I am Celebrating dry January again this year with 100 near strangers in a Facebook Group!) We are now back at Cedaroma where I am knocking out some month/year end work on the computer while Victor catches up on some of his beauty rest that he loses when working his odd-hour shifts.

In between all that I spent some time with the puppy working on listening skills, a little healing and some name recognition. Seems he doesn’t much like the name Pretzel. He rarely responds to it. We are thinking of giving him a new name and hyphenating it. A name he will respond to. Andy, Vince and Clark are forerunners in the naming process. I don’t get how parents can name their kids at birth without knowing their personalities. I am thankful that I didn’t have to struggle with that challenge.

That’s it for today’s fun….. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.

Moving day… Again!

The Cedaroma Lodge puppy gets a new name!

Meet Pretzel, the newly named puppy

Yesterday we moved back up by the main house. Our favorite cabin, 7, is rented this coming week. I love our little space up here, cute as a button… but very cold. So today we went to the hardware store to get what we needed to install one of those baseboard heaters. I like t

hem much better than the little fan heaters, I always think those are going to get hot, tip over and start a fire, especially with a new puppy in the house. Who, by the way, got his name today. Pretzel

So, I get a little heat and the dog gets a name. It’s a good day!
