58 & Vacation

I've been on vacation this week, and today I turn 58 years old.  Normally I have a certain main project to do on my vacation, plus a list of other chores to get done.  This vacation I still have that list but no real big project and I'm placing more of a priority on rest and relaxation than getting things done.

My wife got me some Belgian sour beers, Rodenbach and Duchess de Bourgogne, that I may begin to enjoy starting later tonight.  Today we strolled State Street as it had been some time since I'd been downtown, and enjoyed lunch at State Street Brats.  Tonight we plan to meet some friends at Come Back In for food and drinks, then get home in time for the Packers game.

Overall, a good week so far.  I may reflect on this week more at a later time, but for now, all is good.

A belated Happy Birthday - sounds like it was a good one. I do think that sometimes it's much more important to just stop and breathe and reflect than to get things done.

I keep meaning to say - your sunflowers are amazing! It's a pity that sending seeds between countries isn't allowed these days, or I'd be politely requesting some...

Thank you, BW. The birds and critters have been going after the seeds ruthlessly, and before they are ready to harvest. I have plenty of the original seeds that I'm confident will still be good next year, then I will have to get the seeds from one of the first, bigger flowers. Even if I have to bag it.
