Beths_last_day
Today is Beth’s last day at the ranch, and I took this photo of her this afternoon, filling the water tanks in the horse pastures.  (Two of our blind horses, Hannah and Luna, are grazing in the background.)  Beth is moving to Missoula, where she is going to be working in retail part-time and hoping eventually to land a full-time teaching position.  She earned a Master’s in Education from Boston College last year, and we knew her long-term goal was to teach. 

In the year she was here, we came to value Beth for her hard work, her wonderful way with the animals, and her cheery, upbeat personality.  She was always fun to have around, and we’ll miss her!

Beth’s departure has been planned for a while, and we have already hired her replacement, Mariah S. from Missoula.  Mariah officially starts next Tuesday and she’ll be moving into the employee cabin on the ranch in the next couple of days.  We’ll introduce Mariah here on the blog pretty soon.

In the meantime, I hope you’ll join us in wishing Beth the very best for the future!
