It's now been over a week since we landed in the Okanagan Valley. We've not only settled into our new digs but have jumped into our new roles as resort caretakers, with both feet I should add. To say that there is a lot to learn would be a huge understatement. That said, I believe we're making the transition as well as could be expected.

In a couple of weeks, we'll be relocating from Fernie to Lake Country to begin new positions that we accepted over the weekend. We play…
Just in case you were afraid that we weren't getting enough exercise, here are a few pics taken while riding some trails around Fernie.
It's been a little less than two weeks since we landed in Fernie and we're starting to feel at home here. In truth, it hasn't been all that difficult. We just needed to replace our flip flops with snow boots and acquire some warm clothing (plaid, of course) so that we looked the part.
