Well, Courtney and Jackson and I just finished a week of vacation which included 5 days with my family (Dad, Dee, Matt, Cheri, Ethan, Karen, Barry, Jenny and Kimmie) and  2 days with Courtney’s parents.  It’s great to get away – greater to get home!  Providentially, the power cord to my computer was left at home so I had three hours of battery power to ration over the week away.  I could have used my brother’s laptop for some things, but I took the opportunity to go “unplugged” for a week.  It was actually really nice to be free from the computer where I do a lot of work and play.  It was great to not have that option and focus on doing some other things.  I did get to read a little.  And, for the first time in a long time, I read fiction.  I had heard about a series of mystery stories that GK Chesterton (Catholic Theologian/Writer) wrote many moons ago and I was curious.  So I checked out the “Best of Father Brown” mystery stories from the library and was able to do some light reading.

Anyway…glad to be home.  Ready to “get to work.”  I miss the routine of daily life.  And there is so much to do.  Did I mention we bought a minivan on vacation as well???
