Closer to Spring

I’ve been very excited about arriving at work in the daylight. I guess that’ll probably be gone tomorrow – with the clocks having been turned ahead. I guess I will enjoy that light in the evenings instead.

We’re due for some warmer weather, which figures after completing my final week of bus/playground duty on Friday. I’ll take the warm weather when it comes, though. I’m certainly ready for spring!

We headed up north on Friday afternoon. Saturday we stopped to see Gram and Gramp. Grandpa was in especially good spirits – cracking jokes and smiling a lot. I love those visits. Gram wasn’t feeling as well, but she perked up a bit and even watched the recruiting video that Bill just completed. I can’t help but be happy to haveĀ  great visit with Lou and Lorraine!

The rest of Saturday was very low key. I napped a bit and got a good portion of my correcting done. (Ugh, assigning essays = correcting essays!) Saturday night, though, Ape and Jesse were on their way home. Since I won’t be around for Ape’s 29th birthday next weekend, we decided to celebrate last night with a little hot fudge pudding cake. Mmmm. Ape wouldn’t let me take a picture since she’d spent the day cleaning and moving – but, she was very cute.

This morning Bill mixed up some sourdough pancakes and Dad fried them up. I even got the special Mickey Mouse pancake…

We spent a little time helping Ape and Jesse unload the U-Haul into their storage unit. Then we headed up to a campsite for Bill to shoot a segment for his first BWCA cast. It was fun… I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product and then getting ready for many more episodes this summer.

Now it’s time to wind down. We’ve got a busy week ahead of us…

Hope you find some time to relax and appreciate life and the freshness that spring brings with it!
