Now that Summer is almost over Niel is back to his duties as scout master for a local boy scout troop. He shares some of the duties with another person. This means Friday night meetings, and occasionally sometimes up to three meetings a week, and camping trips. So this weekend he will be going on his first camping trip of the year. I am thinking of things to occupy myself with while he will be away. I think I'll go to the movies. There are some films I really can't see with Niel(Princess Diaries 2 and Vanity Fair);they'd torture him.

I know this position brings happiness to Niel as well as frustration. Like many relationships in life work, marriage, friendship, volunteer it needs nurturing. You have to water a plant to have it grow. When one person is organized and they work around a bit of chaos it can be aggravating. I am proud of my husband whatever he decides to do. In the end he needs to make himself happy and healthy.

I think that's awesome that Niel volunteers with those kids. He's doing more good then he'll ever know!

Yeah I get what a smiley face means. Didn't know if you knew anyway.
