Hey Guys,
Sorry about the long absence of a post. I was in Birmingham from Tuesday through Friday and then we slid to the beach over the weekend. I hope you all had a good week.
I was in B'ham for an insurance class. It was pretty stressful but I made it through it. We had a great time at the beach even though it was raining and the wind was blowing like crazy.
I think I told you guys about Chuck in a previous blog. Well, he died last Thursday night. The funeral was this morning. Its still just real hard to believe. He was only 52. I'm just asking you guys to keep Mrs. Tracy, Lauren, and Emily in your thoughts and prayers. The old professor was one of a kind and boy did he love Jimmy Buffett. They had it playing in the funeral home last night and today. Chuckles whereever you are "Fins Up" my man.

Hey Guys,
Even though Bean is on the mend I still have a prayer request. My old professor and golfing buddy Chuck Thompson is in Baptist with complications from a hernia surgery. He is having a little trouble breathing. I talked to Miss Tracy last night and she said he is in the unit. Daly is the one who did the surgery and I told her he was actually the one who saved my life. Please keep ol' Chuckles in your thoughts.
I am going with the gang in the morning to Foley to check on Bean. I might need a few prayers myself. I will try to give an update when I get back.

Hey Guys,
Wow! What a weekend. The Masters was absolutely amazing. Moving day definitely lived up to the name. Mickelson sure made the most of the easier holes on the second nine. Dad, Jerry, and I watched every minute on the weekend. I just can never get enough of that tournament or place. Beautiful, just beautiful.
Greg is being released from in-patient today. They really wanted to keep him a few more days but insurance said no. He will be going to Foley and stay with Mrs. Mary Ann and Mr. Jim for the time being and then we will see what happens. He is still having trouble seeing, but the Docs are confident as the blood absorbs all of that will get better.
We have a golf tournament in Elba this weekend. It should be fun with great weather staying through the weekend.

Hey Guys,
A quick update on Bean: Mrs. Mary Ann emailed yesterday and said things are improving everyday and they are hoping BCBS will approve another week of in-patient if not he will go to Mrs. Mary Ann's while he goes to out-patient before coming home. She said everyday is an improvement. Our prayers continue to work.
Today is the calm before the storm over in Augusta. Everyone that comes in contact with me knows my infatuation for this course and tournament. Today is the last practice round and the par 3 tournament. Also, this year is super special because the legendary Jack Nicklaus will team with Arnold Palmer as a honorary starter. I am so excited I can't hardly stand it.

Good Monday Morning
Hello Folks,
I sure hope everybody had a great Easter. I know we did. This weekend was very cool. It seemed like it lasted forever which is very unusual. We had a few friends that were in town so Friday night we went to Enterprise to eat. Saturday we cleaned the house and watched the final four games before we went to eat at DeAnn's parents. We were home early Saturday night because we knew we had an early morning coming.
We got up Sunday morning and headed to Whitewater for sunrise and breakfast. After that we hurried to Ham to make that 8:45 service. After church we went home to change before making the rounds at lunch.
We finally got home around 2 and I decided to go to the gym before my date Sunday night. Last night my Yankees opened the season against the sox from Beantown. Dad and Jerry came over and the Yanks were in control before Dad and Jerry left. We subsequently lost the game. I'm very superstitous and they both knew it and left anyway. They are both on my list.
As DeAnn and I were dozing last night she started talking about the sermons of the day and I could not believe that they were this morning. The day seemed to last a week.
(Bean Update)
Mrs. Mary Ann is very encouraged by Greg's progress and his future. All signs point to a full recovery and that is nothing short of a miracle. He is brushing is own teeth and eating. She said they are working him hard and that is exactly what he needs. I know from experience he might as well take advantage of it while he's got it. I am hoping to get down there this week and scope it all out. I will try to keep you all posted on his progress.

Big News
Hey Guys,
I just got an email from Lisa and Bean walk to the door and back which was a requirement for him to do before he is moved to a rehab facility. I talked to him on the phone yesterday and we actually had a pretty good conversation. I was pleasantly surprised. I will try to keep you updated on that. I think the plans are for him initially to go close to Mobile to be close to his mother.
Update on D and myself. We had a good weekend. We just kind of hung out with Jerry. We should have a busy weekend coming up with Easter and everyone coming home.
