Sunshine on our shoulders

Today was an absolutely beautiful day with a high of 60 degrees.  Whoo hoo!  We went into town and everyone was commenting on the beautiful weather.  The locals are more than ready for good weather as they have all commented that eight months of winter is enough.  We've only had two weeks of winter and we couldn't agree more.  

We had Customer Service Training to attend at the high school.  Just like last year, their chosen speaker was very entertaining and had a good message about attitudes.  Like we told Paul, our campground owner, having a good attitude is no problem when working in the campground.  I guess it would be more difficult if one was working retail, restaurant or motel/hotel.  

The gorgeous weather had us pulling out the chairs to sit in the warmth of that elusive golden orb.  We have really missed sitting outside simply enjoying our surroundings.  The blue skies and sunshine has kicked in John's desire to go fishing.  It is already on the agenda to go up to Rapid City on Monday to purchase our battery for the trolling motor and get our fishing licenses.  I told John that it is a good thing that we have the inflatable pontoon boat because if we still had the kayaks, we would be waiting a while or shore fishing.  No way would I walk into the water up to my thighs right now to launch the kayaks - talk about cold.

Talk about elusive sun, tomorrow is suppose to bring showers and/or thunderstorms.  Sure hope they are wrong.
