Island Dweller

Today is the start of the long weekend and I am super excited about going out to camp for the next week. It will likely be the only time I will get out to the island this summer. There are a bunch of people on 4-month staff that I already know and of course there will be new people to welcome to my friend circle. I have no idea what team I will be working with this week, but I know I will enjoy myself. My guess is either kitchen or probably kitchen:)- I've packed my long underwear and toque and mitts. IT's gonna be pretty chilly out there but I"m still pumped to be heading out. I am hoping the ice has receeded enough to allow me to get out in a canoe and around the island on the trail a few times. There will also be time for knitting, games and conversation. Camp is such a special place, and it's hard for me to really describe all that it encompasses. I have spent the last 3 summers out on the island and it is nice to have a chance to go back, even if just for a short while this spring. I will hopefully post some pictures when I get back.

In other news, we celebrated my parents' birthdays this week. We even managed to surprise my dad with a surprise party to celebrate and a scavenger hunt full of surprises with his new GPS unit. It was nice to actually be home to celebrate these special times with my parents, especially since I will be out of the country at this time next year.

Take care friends...hopefully your long weekend has something fun and restoritive in store.

till later!
