Mick was right, Angie did kidnap me and took me to great place called Oak Harbor, sitting on Lake Lowry. It was by far one of the best birthdays ever!
She managed to rent a cabin about 50 yards off the lake of which we had a beatiful view from our screened in porch and about 10 feet off a side canal...complete with a little gator!
Although there was a TV, we never watched it and even better was NO PHONE!...didn't look at a computer and discussed no business. Wow, I didn't realize exactly how much I needed that!
We loved it so much, we'll be back for Angie's birthday, and we're actually considering purchasing one of the cabins to keep for when those kind of weekends are needed! :-)
Thanks again....unfortunately, now it's back to reality!

Sounds wonderful!
I'm a big proponent of "unplugging" from time to time. Getting away from sensory overload can really help a person gain a new perspective.
Say hello to Denny for me. :-)

It was indeed beyond wonderful. It had been a long long time since I "unplugged" from everything including business for a weekend!
Just got off the phone and booked the same cabin for Angie's birthday in June. Even promised her we would shut down on the Friday before to give us an extra day! ;-)
I expect when we buy one of the cabins (working on the guy to sell us *THAT* one), we'll make it a regular trip for a "Mental Health" getaway.
Thanks again!

Be careful!
Discovering you have a fruitful life, beyond business, can be habit-forming. :-)
I recommend it to everyone.
