And then there's the days Mom and Dad have off to spend with us on vacation. I enjoy these days the most. Laura worked with Mom in the kitchen, making brownies and cookies, while I worked in the wood shop with Dad on piecepack parts, cutting up 2" x 2" x 1/4" tiles, as well as creating a prototype lighthouse for my Uncle's new cabin in Canada. Making the angles work out is a puzzle to me and it's always fun when it works. For some reason, we had one piece cut correctly, and three incorrectly, which seems like an impossibility, and we still don't know how it happened. That evening they treated us to Applebee's, where we had quesadillas, steak, shrimp, chicken and pork, and as usual were too full for dessert. I cleaned up my Dad's computer of nasty viruses and spy-ware, and installed AdAware SE for him to keep up the defense once I leave. Only then did I feel safe enough to check my email.
