We would like to recommend not employing a new couple for the Ranch until early next year. We will continue searching under the condition that any prospective employees would not be starting until early April 2010.

We are basing this recommendation on, that and I will be spending more time at the Ranch over this period. This will also allow us to cover the ranch while ranch personnel take vacation time which they have been unable to take, due to our travel commitments.

████ and I would like to request if all possible that we can also take a break near the end of
October/November, we need to return to NZ to move my mother from her retirement unit to a rest home

For your consideration
