    As I am sitting here watching this touching blog there is an idiot that has a brand new truck and is trying to burn his tires off , makes you think that there are people giving up their lives for our freedom (like my nephew) and then there are idiots (like the rich spoiled kids of the big crab fishermen here) , I'm sorry , just making me so mad.
    Your blog is awesome and beautiful Linda !!
