Good evening everybody,
I hope everybody had as good a weekend as we did. DeAnn and I made a surprise visit to the beach on Saturday. I did make my goal of getting to the beach on the 4th even though it looked very unattainable at times. We got to see all the DuBoses and I must say it was very great seeing all of my brothers, Heather Beth, Bessie, and the kids. That night we went to Uncle V and Judy Karen's to eat supper, and we had a great time and good food. At rehab this morning we got all the evaluations out of the way and did a little work. It also looks like I may be getting my leg a little quicker than what we thought we should know more soon. As soon as we know you guys know I'll pass the word along.
We are also going to have a BBQ on the Square in Elba on the 19th of this month from 11:00 to around 4:00. This is an appreciation to all of you for your love and support through this tough time in our lives. We couldn't have made it through this without you guys.
Also, a lot of you have questioned me about my closing of "Fins up, Jr". Well the Fins up is a little tribute to my favorite artist Mr James D. Buffett and JR is the fact that I am a Jr. and is shorter than writing Neil I guess. I hope this answers all the questions. If there are any more I'll be glad to answer them if I can. Take care and good night.
Fins Up,
JR

I missed seeing you this weekend. I was bummed when I got to Whitney's and was told you had been there. If only those stupid boys wouldn't have gotten up so late that morning! Can't wait to see you and Deann both. Love you

Neil - it is so good to hear that you are doing so well. I am glad you and Deann got to make your way to the beach this past weekend - and I hate we missed seeing ya'll. We were so glad we got to spend some time with your wonderful Mom, Dad, Reese and got to meet your Uncle V and Judy that you have spoken about here on the blog. Speaking of which - I also think you should keep it (the blog) going - I am one of the many that check it every morning before I start my day....just like yesterday...I was gone all last week and had to do my catching up on you. I was so tickled to hear such wonderful progress you had made. You and Deann have a wonderful week and maybe we will get to see ya'll in Elba.
Much Love, Tina Gardner
It was so great to see you this weekend. It has been too long. You are always all smiles and so positive. In our lives, I have never seen anything keep you down or prevent you from reaching EVERY goal you set. I'm glad you guys got to go to the beach. Can't wait to see you both again...hopefully before communion!

Dear fellow Parrot Heads, so glad you made it to the beach for the
4th. A long time ago, Mr. Jimmy Buff-fay also said, "Come Monday it'll be alright". It sure sounds like that's true for the Grantham Jrs. You guys are amazing! Love to all, Becky P
I got to gaze upon the wonderful pic's from the the beach this weekend. I had no doubt that when you said you'd be there for the 4th ... that you would be there. You have that strong, sometimes stuborn Grantham blood !!! It was great to see you ( if only in pic's ) out having a good time, it's been a long time comming!!!!
We love you and hope to see you soon !!
