You may be wondering

why I have those boats on my new header. I forgot to mention this in an earlier blog. But those boats are actually Skip Jacks, a boat used for oystering in Maryland. My father loves them and so do I, we worked really hard together on a report about them for my 5th grade social studies class. Still one of my greatest papers to date ;) We even attended the annual Skip Jack races as research! And we have gone on numerous Skip Jack cruises together with Capt. Jackie Russell. The fall always reminds me of Skip Jacks and my father. It's a little piece of Maryland and of dad, I miss so much.
