The days have been a little gray and slushy… exactly what you’d expect from early March. I do love this time of year – I know the vibrant colors of Spring are around the corner! I’ve also noticed the increase in daylight, and with daylight savings changes happening this weekend, there’ll be even more to celebrate! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I am keeping busy here in Minnesota. Yesterday I did some work at home before heading to the Wednesday night church service. I’ve always enjoyed Lent services, but last night was especially exceptional because Dad gave the sermon. He did a wonderful job!<\/p>\n
Lo and I headed to Virginia today and enjoyed lunch at Grandma’s (the restaurant) and a little shopping at Bath & Body Works. I also got my passport stuff sent in and paid to expedite the processing. I suppose this means Bill and I will HAVE to take a trip this summer. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
This afternoon Laura visited with Grandma while Gramp and I headed to Pep’s Bakery for coffee and a doughnut. I’ve decided that the world needs more bakeries. Life just seems simpler when drinking a cup of coffee out of an old mug and snacking on a maple covered long john. It’s always fun to sit with Gramp, as he’s sure to tell a story or two about when he and Gram owned L & L’s (for Lawrence & Lorraine’s) Bakery in Cook. I never get tired of hearing about the days of the bakery… it’s makes me imagine life as a scene out of Pleasantville.<\/p>\n
Let’s see… Bill is busy with Iditarod stuff. Do check out the coverage on the district website of the big race. (mushing.bssd.org<\/a>) Aside from work, life sounds pretty mild up in Unalakleet. I did talk to Stacie, though, and learn that we will be busy selling what we can upon my return to town. She’s super organized, so I will have to render her services for the sell vs. move piling process. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n April headed south to the cities after work tonight, and Lo will be taking off after lunch with Mom tomorrow. I imagine the weekend will be quiet – but nice just the same. Perhaps I can actually get some class work done!<\/p>\n And finally – most of you know my obsession with People magaine, so this entry’s survey is connected to a picture I saw in the latest issue… Which celebrity(ies) would you choose to hang out with for an afternoon? My answer – Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Garner. Don’t they just seem like nice girls? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The days have been a little gray and slushy… exactly what you’d expect from early March.
