Have a ton of Vacation time to burn through, due to a change in Company Vacation policy. Used to be able to carry a fair amount, now you have to use it during the year you 'earn' it, or lose it. Still have an abundance from the old policy that I have to use up, and come into compliance with the new policy.
Anyway, will probably start using up as much as I can work in (only have until next June to be complete), and spend extra time with my wife and daughter. Weekends always go too fast, and there are the inevitable chores to catch up on. We really just hung out today, but it was great.
My wife and I sat outside with our morning coffee, and just chatted. Talked about nothing and every thing, just 'connecting'. We did a few light chores, and she worked on some of her cards.
She paints very nice pictures and then gets them printed in town. Then she manually applies them to a real nice card stock. She selects either poetry that she likes, or that fits with the picture, or has her own poetry (excellent) available and prints that out. Again she applies that to the card, and then it is just about ready. She has a few leads on where she might be able to make them available for Sale. She will find out more in the next couple of weeks.
Later in the day, we sat outside again, and kicked back with a couple of
We went in and started dinner, we had a great dinner that we love every Late Summer/Early Fall, Green Tomato Taco's!!! Of course this is the only time of year that you can have/get green tomatoes. No one sells them, and it is the only time of year to have any fresh in the garden. Maybe I will need to follow a friend’s lead from his blog and start posting recipes that we like.
All in all a great day at home. Relaxing, connecting with family and getting away from work for a little bit. Can't wait to take some more time!!
