Busy Days

The days always seem to move faster and faster the longer I’m home! It’s been another great few days.

Lunch with Mom and visiting with Grandma and Grandpa Poderzay was very nice. It was one of the few times that I’ve had Grandpa all to myself and got to catch up on all of the excitement. It was just good to see them all.

Saturday was spent in Virginia. Uncle Bill and Mark drove over from Door County, Wisconsin, so we all had a good visit with Gram and Gramp. April and I spent some more time with Stacy and Dylan later on in the week and were treated to yummy lunch and an afternoon of shopping.

Sunday Dad got home and gave me a few choices for the days activities. He suggested snowmobiling, a drive out to the shack, or hauling fire wood. I decided it’d be fun to get out in the woods and grab some firewood for next winter. Dad cut while I piled it all into the back of the pick-up. It was a beautiful day out and nice to get some fresh air. Plus, I felt like a lumberjack. 🙂

On Monday I woke up early enough to get a run on Raps Road in before driving over to Bemdiji to meet Andrea and Laura. We enjoyed lunch at one of my favorite college restaraunts and then a little desert over at a coffee house. It’s always nice to catch up with old friends.

The weather has been so incredible the past few days. I’ve been taking advantage and trying to get outside daily. Yesterday I was soaking in the hot tub around 11:30 a.m. when my dad and a co-worker showed up at home for a lunch break. I couldn’t help but feel fortunate to have the luxury of relaxing and enjoying Spring! (Of course, this comes at the expense of getting my class work and job applications done!)

Bill made his way back from Nome to Unalakleet yesterday. He sounds like a tired guy! He’s been extremely busy with the Iditaproject stuff. Now he’s preparing to take a crew of students into Anchorage beginning Sunday to broadcast the state basketball tournaments. I imagine he’s ready for a rest. It will be nice for the two of us to have some time together!

Alright, in honor of the Spring days… What is your favorite flower? I’m going to have to go with tulips… I just love them. They’re one of the first to bloom in the spring and they’re so beautiful – all colors!

I hope your days have been a nice kind of busy!
