Hey Guys,
Well today is our 2nd anniversary. I know you all know the story about how we had celebrated our 6 month deal the day before the wreck. However, it still blows my mind to think what she was going through as a 22 year old. I cannot say enough about her and how much I love her.
Happy Anniversary DeAnn

Monday and Rest
Hey Guys,
I hope everyone had a great weekend. We sure did. It was kind of busy, but relaxing nonetheless. JK and Uncle V had a great party with great food at their place. Thanks guys we had a wonderful time.
Before the party we had a great time at the pool and on the beach. The weather ended up being great. On Saturday night we ended up getting to talk to Robert over in Ja Pan. It turns out that DeAnn's good friend Emily is over there with him for Sony. Oh yeah Jenny Waters, don't touch the ipod without permission.
All in all, the weekend couldn't have been better unless we had hit the lottery.
Mama Nell Cook got home from HealthSouth sometime late in the week. I am so glad to here about that. Can't wait to see you Mama Nell.
Please say a little prayer for Mom's friend Ms. Ann Wesley. Her granddaughter died in a tragic car wreck early Friday morning.
Also, the poker run for Miss Ollie DuBose was a huge success I heard. They raised a bunch of money and had a good time it sounds like. I hate we couldn't be there Gator and Lynz, we were thinking of you.
I know I am probably forgetting something. If I am I will try to let you know.

Therapy and the beach
Hey Guys,
Sorry for the lack of post. I really have no excuse for not updating I just haven't sat down to do it. I have been thinking about things to blog. Since we last talked D and I went to the movies twice over the weekend. We saw Funny people, very average with a great cast I was disappointed, and The time travelers wife, weird love story D liked I yawned. So the picture show was not very successful but a relaxing weekend nonetheless.
Therapy is still going well. I am walking more and longer. My endurance is still coming along. Had a check up with Dr. V and he said all my aches we normal considering 6 ab surgeries in 18 months. My muscles are trying to strengthen with staples, stitches and scar tissue in the way. It made me feel much better knowing that I am not doing any damage and all the work is holding.
Mr. Robert Waters is in a foreign land and wanted an update. There was no need for threats Mr. Waters all you had to do was ask. You have my number just call although you might be roaming. I'll try to post more often.
We are headed to the beach this weekend to celebrate Dad's birthday. Most of you know how I feel about my old man. If not see Aug. 22, 2008 blog. Anyway, Happy 59th Pop. Next year we might celebrate on Duval or maybe even at Capt. Tonys.
Mama Nell is still at HealthSouth and improving. She is sure ready to see Elba again. Any day now Mama Nell.
I think we are all caught up now. I'll try to post Monday.

Hey Guys,
Ok, ok, ok.......Settle down. I never thought that comment about AU would get my readers so fired up. I guess that's football in the state of Alabama.
Mama Nell is at HealthSouth and continues to improve, but please continue to pray. After my therapy Uncle Daniel and I went to check on her, but that had her in OT.
Every time I go to therapy my endurance is getting so much better. I am walking farther and riding the bike longer.
I want to thank you all for the comments. It really lets me know you still read. Also, I cannot explain what the encouragement does while I am enduring the hour and a half of therapy. Thanks for reading.

Back in the "Gump"
Hey Guys,
Wow what a weekend. Friday morning I got up and went to therapy and then rode to Elba. I got to eat lunch with Mama Dot. Mam it was so goooooooood. That afternoon we were mostly out at the club getting ready for the drawing. Later, we had a great time and I had loved catching up with folks I rarely see.
Just when I think nobody reads this anymore. Julie Holley's dad stopped me and had a lot of kind words that really meant so much. Thanks Mr. Minix your thoughts were so nice and I appreciate them greatly.
The next two days I watched some good and some pretty pitiful golf. Either way I enjoyed it a lot.
My Yankees have turned it on and swept the sorry lifeless Red Sox of Boston. Now if they will just miss the playoffs and Auburn goes winless it will be a great year in sports. Sorry I'm kidding. Well kind of.
Mama Nell Cook seems to be doing some better, but please keep her in your prayers.
Wednesday I should have a pretty good blog because Uncle Daniel takes me to rehab.

Hey Guys,
First things first. I want to say I have been thinking about the Brunson family. Mr. Jack and Mrs Edna were great friends of the Elba-Troy Club since the beginning and I don't know where our club would be without them. I hated I could not get to Elba for the service.
Also, I have had 2 visits with Mama Nell Cook and both were good. She has an uphill battle, but she is tough. Please say a prayer for her and the family.
I knew I was forgetting something Monday. Saturday after the concert on Friday night we came back through Elba to attend Candace Anderson and Brett Bimbo's wedding. The wedding was nice and Candace looked great. DeAnn and I had a wonderful time catching up with folks we haven't seen in while.
This weekend is the world famous ticket tournament in Elba. They have a $5000 drawing on Friday night and a 3 person scramble on the weekend. It is a big fund-raiser for the club and a big time for all involved. In the morning I am going to therapy and then headed to the big town for the festivities.

Hey Guys,
Sorry for the lack of post late last week. We were gone over the weekend and then my pal Jerry turned off my wireless on my computer. It took a while to figure out what happened.
Anyway, I got back to therapy last week and it is going very well. I didn't lose any strength in my left leg. My stomach is still tight and tender. It still hurts pretty bad while I am walking. But it is still great to be back up and moving.
On Friday we went to Orange Beach to the Wharf to see Bob Dylan, Mellencamp, and Willie. It was pretty good but the fellowship was just awesome. We had a great time and ended the night at the 'Bama.
I want to Aunt Kathy Smith for asking me if I had read "90 minutes in Heaven". I had not but a nurse from the unit gave it to me while I was in the hospital. Since she ask that I thought I would pick it up. It was a good book and I do recommend reading it. I could identify in a lot of ways except I never wanted to go. I know he had been to Heaven but he also had small children.
I won't ruin it if you hadn't read it. But pick it up.
Hope all is well.
