The Adventures of Jim & Rhonda

Well, we are actually doing the job hunt thing and, basically, it sucks. It’s a new thing for me since I was at Grand European Tours for 10 years, and then took 1 year off , so it’s been over 11years since I actually looked for a job, interviewed, etc. And, when I started there I already had a job so there was no pressure.

Jim has had a bit more experience with the job hunting over the last few years, which doesn’t mean he’s liking it any better. We did attend a job fair and have each had several interviews so, fingers crossed, we’ll both get something soon. If not we may just need to take our remaining funds and buy a one way ticket to Puerto Vallarta and start working down there!!! There is a great little coffee shop called the Coffee Cup that is for sale…hmmmm, tempting!

We’re living in Ken & Wendy’s camper and helping with their new house. Thankfully the weather has been just fantastic and it makes it a lot easier to enjoy working outside. We are still hoping we can get their roof on by November but, we’ll see…Jim & I may be moving into an apartment for a while once we get jobs. Either way, we’re pretty used to being on the move so no big deal.

We did have a great camping trip last weekend to Deschutes State Park, which is right where the Deschutes enters the Columbia. A bit windy but otherwise pretty good weather. When they first made the reservation there were no electrical sites so we got a non-electrical one. Well, since it wasn’t great weather Wendy & I took it upon ourselves to see if there were any no-shows for a different site. Luckily, there were so on day 2 while the boys were fishing we moved the entire camp over…made quite a spectical of it for all the surrounding campers for sure.

We took our boat, Springbok, out on the Columbia on Sunday and did some fishing but alas, no catches…oh well, guess that’s why they call it fishing.

Now, back to the grind of  job hunting….wish us luck and we’ll keep you all informed on whether we get jobs or whether we get an airplane ticket…who can tell! Still living the dream, Jim & Rhonda
