*If you're just joining the fun, some friends of ours gave us notes to open every day this summer, along with information about a holiday so that we would have something to celebrate while they are away.*

#11 Pain in the Neck Day
June 22, 2013
Who would've guessed there would be such a thing? Unfortunately, I'm spending today quite far away from my brothers. ;)
Anyway, here's the quite random story behind the holiday:
According to lore, St. Audrey was the patron saint against neck pain. Originally named Ethelreda, she was a young English princess who was widowed before her first marriage was consummated. After taking a vow of virginity, the maiden remarried, but fled to a mission to avoid relations with her new husband. Eventually, she developed a large tumor on her neck and took to wearing scarfs to cover it.
Celebrations of the holiday include the wearing of colorful scarfs or going to the spa. We opted to wear colorful scarfs...ALL the colorful scarfs we could find.

| Brandi replied, "Now my elbows are blocking you!" |

Jordan and Brandi decided to do a 'Charlie's Angels' pose!
Beth then displayed her elbow proudly. |

| Fun times! |
