This morning, at 7:00, my husband and his friend were in a fishing tournament when a strong wind overcame them and their boat capsized. They were in the water for a while before being rescued. My husband had to be taken to the hospital and treated for hypothermia. Everything in the boat was lost, but we are just so grateful that they are alive. My father is a retired ship Captain. He worked on a ship for over 35 years for the Corps of Engineers, and I asked him on a scale of 1 to 10 how lucky were they.....he said 9. What a Fathers Day it could've been.
Unfortunately, Rich had our good camera with him on the boat (you know, to capture a picture of the 15 lb. bass he was going to catch!). So I no longer have a camera to post pictures. Boo hoo. But believe me, I am counting my blessings tonite.
Have a great week everyone!

Kim:Thank goodness everyone was alright! I know how thankful you are! My husband fishes too, and I know how these things can happen!
This was a Father's Day you two will NEVER forget!
And don't worry about the camera! I have the worst camera in all of blogland and I still post with those pitiful fuzzy photos and my sweet followers just squint and leave kind comments anyway!
Have a great and blessed day!

So happy to hear that what could have been a disaster ended up so well. Certainly a miracle that you family will always be grateful for!
Oh Miss Kim- I am so glad for you and your husband- although as I write that, it sounds like an understatement.
What an amazing blessing,

Kim,
I'm so so thankful they are okay! What a scary thing for them to go through. I'm sorry you lost the things on the boat. We were sitting around yesterday saying, "What is with all this wind?" so I know exactly what you are saying. Hugs to you and your family.

Oh Kim, I am so glad your husband is okay. Praise God for His angels that were watching over them. Sure does make you take notice of what is most important in our lives, doesn't it? You'll never forget that Father's day!
Blessings to your whole famiy,

Oh goodness, glad your hubs is okay!!!! Makes you really think about all that you have, doesn't it???
Sorry about the camera though. :( I bet you are missing it.
Thank you for your kind comments on my shelves. I am loving them!
It's much better to have a good husband than a good camera.
