An Afternoon in Huntsville

Hey kids,

It would’ve been a good ride but we opted to take the 4-Runner so we could visit and catch up on the happenings over the past few days. Nonetheless, the drive to Huntsville ended at the Huntsville Barbecue Company and some much needed meat, a stroll around the property and shakes at Detours. I had the Salty Dog shake- caramel and pretzel – Annette had the Fat Elvis- chocolate and banana.

The Barbecue was fantastic! I’ll do a ride blog soon. It’ll give me a good reason to go back!

Breaking Bread

Hey Kids,

Breaking bread, or sitting down to a meal together, has been used for centuries to bring people together. Good food shared, makes one feel happy, agreeable, and if you can share food together- one of the most required needs in life with water, why can’t anything else be shared?breaking-bread-1024x768

Today my staff had a barbeque for lunch. Nothing fancy, just hamburgers and hot dogs. I offered anyone who wanted to throw anything else in could, but no one was required.

We had cake, potato salad, chips, cookies, sodas, baked beans, and a few other things I forget. All voluntary.

We talked, laughed, and spent time together, huddled in the shade enjoying a very hot day.

In the end, I never said a word about clean-up. It just happened. I never said anything about time to go to work. We just did. But we all left with smiles.

We had fun. We shared. We grew together a little more as a staff.

Breaking bread; it still works.
