We just got back from a mini-vacation to camp. We stopped over in the Adirondacks and visited our friends, Kerry, Claude, Hannah, Crishna, and Zack, who are heading to New Mexico. We had a delicious dinner of lasagna and garden salad, and met some new neighbors from down the street who are crazy travelers. I took pictures of Kerry's prayer flags, which I will miss dearly. I have grown so used to seeing them when we pass by. It was Zack's birthday, so we added our voices to his birthday song. Then we went up to Vermont and saw Rowley's and our friends Carrie, Mark and Lucca from Hudson. All the kids and adults played well together. It was a very nice getaway before going back to the grind of school and work for everyone.
