I am so, so, so glad to hear that your wife's mood has continued to improve and that she is doing well. I've kept her in my prayers as I know how heavy and bleak depression can be. <br /><br />I like that you wish you could bottle the sea air. It would be nice if we could bottle the things that comfort us so that we could have them with us when times call for them.

When I am home there is always something to do and I like working on my house so I am tinkering.<br /><br />We had a new driveway poured and new siding is being put on the house now. I contracted both of those but today I ripped up the kitchen flooring and will do the family room tomorrow. Going back with hand scraped hickory.
