I got Friday off from work and went to the Atlanta airport and picked up our youngest, Brian, who flew in from Dallas. It had been a while since we had seen him and it was a wonderful idea for him to come for Mother's Day. We arrived back at home in time to pick up Daniel, swing by my office and pick up a package that we had ordered for the boat and then head to Charleston for a fun weekend at the boat. Brian had been wanting to go sailing but with our long list of things to do it was going to be hard to swing it, but we came up with a compromise. He helped us clean and wax the top part of the boat and since he was such a big help, we had plenty of time to go sailing! (What he doesn't know is that we were going to take him sailing anyway, but we were very grateful for the help he supplied. Thanks, B!) 
It wasn't enough that we went sailing in 15-20 mph winds with Brian steering the boat for the first time, Daniel decided it was a good time to get in the stern locker and have a look around.
To the casual observer one might think Daniel is kissing the
boat – the man does love his boat – but he isn’t. When we worked on the
buff and wax job this past weekend he removed some snaps, and before
reinstalling them he blew out each hole to get the extra dust/wax out of the
holes. Then he added some kind of sealant into the hole…you know what –
I better let him explain. Daniel??
We finished up our wonderful weekend with breakfast out and a present for me...flowers, a new dress, nope - a brand new, stainless steel fishing rod holder! Yup, who could ask for more? No, I do not own a fishing rod. I have a bad feeling I know what I'm getting for Christmas.
