Interesting weather...

Well, I arrived in Scottsbluff with 70mph winds...for several days straight!! Then the weather turned great: sunny and warm (in the 80's). Over the weekend, we got 4 inches of SNOW!! Today it's great again...no wind...no snow...and high 70's!! The weather has been interesting. I can't remember the last time that I saw snow after Easter. Guess it's abnormal for this area too.

I have been taking the dogs to the dogpark as often as possible. They have made some new friends and I have too. I met the Chief of the Rural Fire Department, Ron. He is pretty nice and has two beagles. I met a "bounty hunter" Rodney, and his (cant remember the breed) large dog Rex. There are several others that we have met but I have only seen them once and you know how awful I am with names!! Ha Ha

Aco and I took a drive up Scotts Bluff and the view is amazing!! It was like driving up a giant sandcastle! The valley below is beautiful from that height and you can see forever! Aco has NO FEAR and was teetering right on the edge...I think if I had let her go she would have scaled the side down to the bottom!! I couldn't get too close...felt like the ground was moving! We went on the spur of the moment so I didnt have my camera with me. I'll get back there again before I leave and get some pictures....

Nothing else to report today...

Arrived in Scottsbluff Nebraska

I've left Norfolk and am now in Scottsbluff Nebraska. What the he## was I thinking when I accepted this contract? I'm in the middle of NOWHERE!!! The hospital is nice and so far, the staff seems reasonable. My apartment sucks! The furniture is from Goodwill and the "housewares" package that the company told me was here is miniscule. I've purchased a few things (like window treatments to keep spying eyes out) and the place is a little "homier" now. I have been in orientation three days this week and will be working the floor tomorrow and back on nights. Oh, how I love nights! I just cant stand getting up in the mornings....

The blufs here are beautiful and the sunset tonight was awesome. I'll try to get some pictures soon. The bluffs remind me of HUGE sandcastles! The weather has been horribly windy...gotta hold on to your hat here!! It's supposed to warm up this weekend and I'm hoping that means that the wind will go away also.

I found a dog-park here in town and have taken the dogs a couple of times. Hopefully when the weather clears a little we will be able to enjoy it a little more.

Not much else to report for now....
