Strange Things Happen In Threes

I have already told you about Alvin the chipmunk visiting our cleaning staff. Well, it seems that was the beginning of a strange day. The day started with Alvin, event number one.
Event number two happened after I had checked-in a guest. The guests went upstairs to their bridge view room. About five minutes after they were in their room, I received a call from them telling me that there is a weird buzzing noise in there room. I went up to investigate. We looked at the alarm clock,nothing. Checked the smoke detector, nothing. Humm..the noise sounded familiar. I decided to check the laundry room to see if the timers were turned on the dryers...nothing. Where was the noise coming from? As I was on my way back upstairs, they stopped me with the news that they had solved the mystery. Her electric toothbrush was turned on inside her luggage. No wonder the noise sounded familiar!
Event number three happened to Lynn. He noticed a young man running from the beach, across the pool deck and up the back stairs. He then started to climb up the balcony railings. Lynn asked him what he thought he was doing and he replied that he was climbing onto the roof to retrieve his kite. Lynn told him no, just wait and the wind will blow the kite down. Sure enough, the wind did blow the kite down. Would you endanger yourself by climbing up onto a second floor roof for a kite?
People, it was just a strange day running a motel.

ALVIN!

This morning I was in the lobby assisting guests and our housekeeping staff was busy cleaning rooms on the ground floor. All of the sudden I heard a scream followed by the slamming of a door. Apparently,the staff was cleaning the room with the door open and Alvin decided to come in and check out the place. The young woman working in the bathroom was the first one who was paid a visit by the furry chipmunk.
It was her scream that made her helper take notice of Alvin. He went out to get a broom while she barricaded herself into the bathroom. Alvin did a quick check of the room and bolted out the door. I guess this incident must have scared him. I never saw Alvin for the rest of the day and I hope that he learned it is not nice to sneak upon people like that!

Wierd Weather

I must apologize to all of you for not posting some pictures of gorgeous sunsets or beautiful sunny days. The truth is that we haven't had hardly any in the past couple weeks. It has been gray, and chilly. Last nights low was in the mid forties. But today it promises to be a beautiful Fourth of July. It is sunny, blue skies and the high is expected to be in the mid sixties.It is a wonderful day to get out and get moving and that is exactly what I am going to do. So much for global warming!

Find The Freighter

The fog signal on the bridge started blowing. Then I heard a response from a freighter and was not able to see the approaching boat due to the fog. I decided to attempt to take pictures as the freighter was coming under the bridge. Hope you will be able to see it.

Just Passing Through

I looked out my window around 6 a.m. and noticed the beautiful reflection of the bridge in the water. So I took the picture for you. A very few minutes later I noticed what I call "skinny" fog just passing through. This fog struck me as unique and I thought you might enjoy seeing it

Going, Going, Gone

It has been an unusual week, weather wise.The week started out very comfortable, around 70 degrees. Then the humidity and warm air moved over the cold waters of the straits and voila... fog. The fog moved in and out most of the day. By evening it was gone.

Orange Sherbet Sunset

This beautiful sunset made me want to get out the ice cream cones and a scoop. It was stunning and I thought you would want to see it. Enjoy!
