Game Week

Hey Guys,

I am just wondering if everybody is as excited as I am about football season? We listened to the Elba game at DeAnn's parents Friday night. We had a good time and ate very good. Elba beat Opp for the fifth time in a row.

I didn't get to post anything about last weekend because of birthdays and anniversaries. However, D and I went to the beach. Uncle John, Aunt Jenny and The Waters were down the street. Saturday we stayed at the pool due to the water being pretty nasty. We had a good time lounging around, playing cards, and listening to music. Saturday night we went to Margaritaville. That was the first time I've been to that one. We sat upstairs on the patio and had a great time.

I have a busy week this coming up as its the first of the month and the chamber banquet Thursday night so I won't be able to call "The Guys" in Dothan until later.

Please keep Mrs. Debbie Stockwell and family in your prayers.

Happy Anniversary DeAnn!!!!

What more can I say. I love you more everyday. Thank you so much for sticking with me through all of this. I hope I would have been this strong if the shoe was on the other foot. You are absolutely amazing.

I Love You!
Neil




Also, Happy Birthday Daddy Neil.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Hey Guys,

Today is Dad's 60th Birthday. I know I do not need to tell any of you what my old man means to me. I have been kind of down all week because I really wanted us to spend this milestone in the Keys. However, with him building the house and me buying the agency it just wasn't feasible. We did get our Daniel Moore prints from the championship game in this weekend so we definitely have those memories. Wow what a week.

Anyway, Happy Birthday Pop. I love ya.

Thursday

Hey Guys,

I am so ready for football season. I'm just counting the days. We will be beach bound opening weekend. This has been the hottest summer I can remember, but I'm not absolutely ready for it to be over. Although fall is one of my favorite times of year.

I have been going downtown lately in the afternoon and walking. Man its been tough but I HAVE to get some weight off. It will also help with my endurance for walking around t-town this year.

I want to tell Ms. Kathy Piland congrats on the addition. Man that makes me feel old. I love you.

Later guys.

Good Monday Morning

Hello All,

I hope everybody had a great weekend. We had a busy Saturday that is for sure. I came to the office that morning and closed around lunch. We then went to Gantt for Ollie's Poker Run. This is John DuBose's daughter that has CF. This was the 2nd annual run, but the first one DeAnn and I got to attend. We had a great time with 1 minor boating episode. It was so great seeing all the brothers, wives, and the kids. Heather and Dusty, too. It is pretty rare that we all get together these days so when we do its special. John and Lynz do a great job and Ollie's is just fantastic. This is a very worthwhile cause and CF kids are going to need help for many, many years. Although a single donation is very much appreciated, multiple gifts are needed to fight this disease.

I haven't spoken with John and Jenny but they moved John-John to T-Town this weekend. I can only imagine feeling what they are experiencing. The air has to be filled with excitement and dread.

We are inside of 3 weeks until football season. I am so excited and I don't think I have every been this pumped up. It has been just dragging for weeks. Later.

Tuesday

Hey Guys,

I hope everyone is doing well. We had a great time at the club this past weekend. this tournament is so fun because so many people come out that you don't see all the time. Dad, Robert, and Uncle John had a good time even though they didn't cash. Saturday afternoon a bunch of us hung around dads listened to music and relaxed in the hot tub that was about 65 degrees thanks to ice and shade from the awning. Mom and a group were at the beach and they said they had a good time except there was a ton of sea weed that made the beach look pretty bad.

I will try my best to drop a line later on in the week

Hot Hot Hot

Wow,

I know I said in the winter that if it didn't warm up I may have to move to the keys. Well, I might have to move down there now just to cool down. We had a nice quiet weekend. I tried to stay inside as much as possible.

I do want to send my condolences to Jennifer Young on the loss of her mother. That is D's cousin Tommy's wife.

We are gearing up for the big "Ticket Tournament" and raffle at the club this weekend. This is the last significant tournament on the tour of the year and its Elba's biggest one. Since I am still on the golf "DL", Dad and Uncle J are bringing in a ringer from Dothan. I will be shocked if Bert doesn't have them in A going off #1 Sunday afternoon. This should be an awesome weekend and if you are around with no plans come on out.
