Tommie went hunting today in Namibia.  It's the first time he's gone hunting since we got married.  (I hate hunting)  My dad went with.  Not to hunt though :)  Just to go bird-watching.  The only way my mom would allow him to go, was if we (me and the boys) stayed with her.  It is such a schlep, riding up and down between my house and my folks.  I wish my mom would rather come stay with us.  But I do understand that as one gets older, you don't want to sleep out any more.

Then I'm all alone in the office during tax time too!  But my dad deserves this time off. I hope he has a great time.
