I'm sure you're jealous of the wonderful weather you've been missing since your departure. We're in a 100 year drought, hottest weather in 7 years with several days over 100, and down over 17 inches of rain since 1/1/7. Even the kudzu looks like it's dying. :) Oh, did I forget to mention the humidity? :(
Hope you're doing well...regards to your better half.
