Our nephew Bill and his wife Joni.

I'm still filling in for Robin.  She rested most of the day.  Later this afternoon we went to the store to pick up a couple of things and to let her get some fresh air. I'm learning how to do more around the house, ie. the laundry.  There isn't alot she can wear over the BIG bandage she has on her arm, so doing some laundry day to keep up.
I don't do facebook, but she showed me how to go in and look at our nephew's facebook which is quite interesting, so I thought I would share alittle about what he does for a living and over the next few days share some of his photos.  He lives in Hawaii and has his own business called "Pacific Tropics", which is a salt water fish wholesaler.  He deep water dives and catches fish and sells them all over the world.  He dives 4 to 5 days a week and ships two day a week.  He has alot of large tanks to keep the fish in after a days haul.  He keeps all the fish seperated individually and by day, and has a records of where they were caught, and how deep plus other info along with how many oxygen tanks he used that day.  His customers go onto his web site (pacifictropics.com) to see what he currently has in stock and places their orders accordingly.
Shipping day is really interesting also.  He restricts thier food intake for a specific amount of time so they will arrive in nice clean water.  He double bags each one with newspaper between the bags so they can't see out, as some are very aggressive and could bite thru the bag to try and get to the fish in the bag next to them.  After adding the water and the fish, he add oxygen and then folds and crimps off the end so they are air tight.  He fills styrofoam shipping cartons with the bags of fish and puts the shipping carton into a cardboard box, made to order for the styrofoam cartons, labelled and off to the airport to meet the afternoon flights so his customers will have them within two days.

Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
"Thanks" and "Love" are two words not used enough.
