Thanksgiving, Celebes & Windsor
Last weekend was thanksgiving. We all pilled out of the woods on Friday afternoon, we decided to stop off in Rosseau (2 mins up the road from camp) were we met none other than… Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn!! Was pretty surreal! They have a holiday home in the next bay from Muskoka Woods and are occasionally spotted in the summer.
Highlights of the weekend apart from a home cooked thanksgiving me include:
- Going to Ontario place for a Chinese Lantern festival
- Andrew taking us on a late night tour of downtown via street cars, bus and the underground.
For the next 8 days we have a group in from Winsdor which is a city 7 hours south of Muskoka Woods. The group size is the same as we would have in the summer, nothing unusually you may think except in the summer we have over 300 staff but in the off season there is only 30!! So this week is going to be bedlum!! Bedlum I tell you!!
Here’s to Charles, regarding a hand stamp- “What does CLF stand for? “eh Chinese lantern festival!! You idiot!”, Arlene’s restless sleeping patterns, chatting overlooking lake Ontario, getting lost downtown, “You never wear socks… are you a hippy?”, Gareth not knowing who Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn were, Andrew’s surprise visit, to so far catching a total of 16 mice in Hazelwood, “That tastes like licking a barn”, Teasing John just after he woke up, " You can't squirt that... its toxic, thats why it's in a bottle", spilling my smoothie on the way down the Ferndale, Haze having a wee accident while mountain biking, listening to one cd all weekend, Amanda’s mum always trying to give me directions, to how amusing Claire is, "When your part of a staff delivering sensational days through safety, development, sizzle and detail it can be a long 8 days of straight work, especially when your are also creating a life changing experience where character and potential are developed!", “I like lamb chop she was bad @$$...” uh lamb chop was a sock puppet…” “yeah but a bad @$$ sock puppet!” and to a trip to the dentist.
