Personnel Update

Good News: We have found a new housekeeper. Katie, who has worked in Stanley on and off, so is almost a local. I’ve heard rumors that we have also found a new cook who is supposedly: male, 25 and from North Carolina! To be updated as I learn actual facts.


So what you may ask, happened to the other cook. Well, he took the housekeeper, Natalie, that had the drinking problem back to his family in Boise and left to join her. He says that he has a drinking problem too and needs to be back there to get help. Having heard him crash into a number of things during the night, I’m inclined to agree. Oh, and more background on the housekeeper, apparently she was not exactly separated from her husband, he threw her out because she was stealing to support her disease. Her sister also refused to take her back, because Natalie had pawned several of her items. I haven’t noticed any items of mine missing, but Erica had a bottle of wine that had the red foil recapped on the bottle now filled with water. There were also several bottles of the wedding wine that were missing when needed. So apparently this has been on ongoing problem for Natalie, hopefully this is rock bottom and there is only up to go onto, but if you hear of any Bonnie-and-Clyde-esque stories from Boise, we’ll know that Natalie and Darwin have had further adventures after the ranch.

The good news is that Pat, the Baker and Lee, the server will be moving into our house. Both play music with Issac in the evenings, which I think adds a very nice flavor to the house. And neither of them seem to run into walls when going to the bathroom.
