Hi Acheick. Guitars are good. Don't let some skanky old memory make you put down one of your talents. Even if you just strum it for yourself and your hubby it will make you happy because playing an instrument can be extremely theraputic.

Isn't it amazing how friendly country people can be. It's probably because they aren't burned out by their neighbors living 2 inches away in another apartment or townhouse or in some other crowded spot. Out where we live folks wave to each other driving down the ol' dirt road. It's kinda funny but they are really just friendly. As far as being bored - like you said, after a housefull of kids silence is golden!

The boat sounds cool. You could have quite a fishing picnic on that thing!
