This Is Work? and it's Fun!

After a month we are settled into our jobs and making a difference here.  We assist as campground hosts 2 days and nights a week on the days our friends, Art and Janette, the official hosts, have 2 days off.  Then we have our 2 days off to go exploring.  Then I work Friday and Saturday giving tours at the Lighthouse while Terry does more clean up at the campground.  On Sunday morning I go to the inspiring Yachats Presbyterian Church and the Farmer's Market on the next block to inspire our meals for the week.  What a perfect schedule for June!  Here's the view from our day off exploring hike yesterday.


Last year I never took any inside pics at the lighthouse.  It's just so awesome after 2 years of restoration!  
It just re-opened for tours last June 8.  Here is the view looking up the stairs to the light circles next to the lens.




And here's the bottom and center of the lens- 392 prisms total!


I stand next to this window and look out as I wait for my tour group to join me below the lens on the top visitor level.  It always thrills me to see the magnificent Pacific or not!


Terry loves the time he spends power washing steps and curbs, blowing leaves on trails and campsites and mowing road edges.  He gets stronger and happier every day.  We are glad to help share the beauty of where we are!
