Lol. I keep thinking "It'll get easier", but it never does, everytime I drop him off I'm counting the days until he returns! The company he works for has tons of boats so he works 2 or 3 a year & has very little time home - most other guys around here work 1 and when the days are up, thats it for them for the year. But, we are very blessed that he and my father have always come home safe & thats what counts as I'm sure you know!

It was hard posting everyday last week, but fun. I don't get that much computer time so thank goodness I could post from my iPhone a few times! That's exciting about getting the first 60 out! How many pots do you use? Lori, thanks for the awesome comment. It made me smile. Eva and Vincent did prove to be pretty good little buoy runners. Maybe we'll take our show on the road and head your direction to help next! :-) Ronnie, thank you! It was hard posting everyday last week, but fun.
