Tuesday Afternoon

Hey Guys,

Wow I took some heat over the weekend about the blog being WEAK. Well I have impressed myself that I am blogging at least once a week. However, I will try to put more effort in it.

First off, please continue to put Dave Brown in your prayers. He is the police officer from Montgomery that was in the bike wreck and then the ambulance taking him to South flipped over. Most of his injuries are really similar to mine. He has lost part of his arm and is having kidney trouble, but most of the internal injuries and the leg seems pretty familiar. He is in good hands on the 6th floor and there are thousands of prayers a day going up for him.

Bama and Elba slide by with victories Saturday while Auburn came from behind and Troy hung on again. We were going to T-town Saturday, but I am moving the office and starting getting concerned about trying to do too much. We are gonna try and get everything moved Friday afternoon and Sat. morning. I was really excited about tailgating but just don't think its too smart to try and fit all that in this weekend.

Talk Later and Fins up,

Thursday

Hey Guys,

Thought I would drop in for a minute. After my adventure to Birmingham last week and then going to Auburn on Saturday I am really looking forward to a lazy weekend at home. All the games were entertaining except Bama's. Troy lost a heart breaker that is just unacceptable. The officials must get that call right, but Troy can't put itself in that position. Auburn looked good in the 2nd half and apparently had the man upstairs on their side according to the coach. Nonetheless they pulled out a exciting win. Elba continued to roll and continued their regular season dominance over everybody. I told ya'll I would try not to complain about the hot weather and it seems that fall is on the way. We REALLY need rain in SE AL. Gotta get to work.

Saturday Morning

Hey Guys,

I hope everyone is doing well. Sorry I haven't posted this week. I was in Birmingham at an insurance class. All I did was go to class and study. I am at the office this morning seeing what all I missed. Elba won last night to keep their record perfect.

Bama shouldn't have much trouble with Dook(I know how its spelled). I guess it will be the Battle of the cats on the plains this evening. AU QB has been getting a lot of good press lately. He as been looking good, but let's I will wait to pass judgement after Dabo(Bama Boy) and the boys come through tonight. The Bama/AU is looking like it could be a good one. I know its early, but I would love to decide the west in BDS.

I only have two more weeks in this building. I am excited about moving, but just a little fearful of the unknown.

Please pray for the Bozemans. I can remember Mr. and Mrs, Bozeman being at there when Ham Church had tile floors and wall heaters and I was 4 or 5. Nobody sat and fought to get close to the heaters. She was such a sweet, sweet lady. She will be missed.

Sunday Night

Hey Guys,

Man what a weekend! We left Friday afternoon headed to Tuscaloosa. We stopped in Montgomery and picked up DeAnn. It was a lot later than we wanted to get there so we went to eat and went back to Reese's.

Dad and Reese got up early to hit campus for Gameday. It was the first time she has been for that. After they got back we got ready to tailgate. It was so hot and humid. We went to Brian Waters' house to see that crew and watch som games. Around 2 we went back to campus and saw the Ruddocks and Boltons.

We were walking to the quad and it started raining. Dad and I decided to stay at the stadium and go on inside.

The folks at National Security had offered me two tickets to the game and to sit in their box. I want to thank Mr. Bill, Mr. Jack, Mr. Eddie and Skin for the hospitality and say Dad and I couldn't have had a better time. We had a great time and the atmosphere was awesome even though Penn State didn't put up much of a fight. Bama looked good but showed area where we could improve. It was a big win nonetheless.

We got back to Elba around lunch and have spent the afternoon washing clothes and cleaning the house. We are pretty tired but had a great time.


Later and Fins Up,

Wednesday

Hey Guys,

I have been so busy since I last posted. Thursday night D and I went to the Chamber banquet here in Elba. I have been put on the board for this year. Thanks Book. I stayed up way too late on Thursday night watching the first games. I really got my fix this weekend. Man I Love football. We had a great time at the beach and my new beach chair worked great. Thanks Dusty and Reese. Dusty Smith and his students did all the fab work on it and Reese supplied the chair. All the teams that I pull for won this weekend. Bama looked great and got serious PT for some guys guys. Elba and Troy both squeaked out a win. A win is a win.

Gotta Work. I will blog later in the week.

Wednesday

Hey Guys,

This afternoon Mom and I went to Dothan for our good friend Kathy Waters dads funeral. It was a very loving funeral. I never met Mr. McKnight but Uncle John always has a good story about both of Kathy's parents. You could tell he was loved and respected.

Speaking of the Waters. They have been friend of John and Jenny for years and I used to see them a lot growing up. We watched a ton of football games in John and Jenny's backyard in my early teens. Brian, Jenni, and I were always messing with John-John. As I got older I didn't go over there as much. I guess the year before my wreck they started coming to the beach with J & J again. It was like old times. Now not a week go by when I don't talk to somebody in that family. They are just really great friends and I love them dearly.

Ms Kathy I am really thinking of you.
