I'm taking a break this week from my normal workflow. I thought some of you might enjoy keeping up with Mary Kay and me on our vacation week. We arrived at my brother Todd's and his wife Amy's last night. They both are off the last half of this week as well. We ate burgers on the grill then celebrated both our birthdays together. Then we enjoyed a fire in the back yard. Todd demonstrated his battening alacrity skills once again when he used the leaf blower to breathe life into our fire. Today the boys plan to ride bikes while the girls do a little shopping.
