I have a summer job!

Hello Everyone!

Quick update in my life:

I have a summer job at Riversong Lodge in Alaska this summer!  It is actually located on Lake Creek, roughly 70 miles NW of Anchorage, and it is a fly in fishing lodge.    They fish all varieties of Salmon as well as Grayling, Pike, and Rainbow Trout.  My duties include housekeeping as guest service extraordinaire.  Basically, I will be a slave all summer, but it's in Alaska, at a fishing lodge, with 24 hours of daylight, in which I will be done working by supper time.

Now, I need to extend a HUGE thanks to my references, Eric, Katy, and Laura.  I believe that Robin, my boss, contacted most, if not all, of you to get the skinny on me, an she said that you all said good things about you.  Therefore I would just like to thank you SO much for all that you have and continue to do for me.

As for the rest of you, looks like you have a new place to chase me to!  I will start work on May 28th or 29th and stay until roughly the end of August.

I AM SO EXCITED! :)

Oh I almost forgot, here's the website: www.riversonglodge.com if you want to check it out for yourself!

Hey Leah, I have Riversong Lodge in my Google Alert, so your blog entry popped up today. My husband and I will return to Riversong for our 3rd straight year. I'll introduce myself when we land on June 14.

Hi Leah, Congratulations on the job. You lead such an interesting life. I was shocked to see you already have a person who wants to meet you when you get to Alaska. You are going to have connections all over the world. Do you think it is too late for me to go exploring? Janet Baker agreed with me when we discussed your blogs. You have a knack on writing about your travels. It is so much fun to read what you are doing next. How is your love life developing?? We are freezing our you-know-whats off here in Minnesota. I am home with a cough....cough flu bug. I think it was caused by 150 hormonal kids. Seriously, I am home just enjoying the day. I needed a teacher day off to recharge. Where are you off to next? Keep us informed. Love ya, teacher lady
