Devastation

Sorry it as been another week since I have blogged. 

Just wanted to drop a quick blog and let everyone know that the Granthams, Stephens', Ruddocks, and Waters' are all ok.  Amy doesn't have a car and Brian Waters has a couple of trees down but other than that I believe he is ok.  What an amazing storm.  I was in Enterprise the morning after in 2007 help our office over there and video and pictures just doesn't do this justice.  I talked to Reese  for a few last night and the gym she goes to is gone.  The rumor yesterday afternoon was that dreamland was gone but it was full moon instead.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all involved.

Tuesday

Man, I have been doing so good.  I have been blogging at least once a week and then the wheel ran off.  It has now been over a week since my last post.

Last week was pretty slow except for my return trip to AAL.  I got a new foot that has a shock absorber that really helps me make a more comfortable step.  The new knee is on hold for now until we get a few things cleared up. 

I have been walking a ton unassisted lately and forgot how fun it is to just jump up and go somewhere.  Speaking of going, D and I went to PCB this weekend and had a blast.  The Stewart clan was down there and we all had a great time catching up.  Mater, it was great seeing ya'll. Thanks for letting us hang with you.

Today is Kyle and Amy DuBose's 3rd Anniversary.  I will never forget there wedding.  I wasn't there due to the wreck, but they called the hospital and Mom laid the phone by my ear and all the family talked to me.  I couldn't talk back and by the end I had tears streaming down my face because I couldn't tell Bub how happy I was for him and "Aunt" Amy.  It's strange how I remember that so vividly.  Congrats guys!

Wow, Wow, Wow

What a finish to a tournament!  When Tiger came out of the gate like he did I thought the course and the other players were in for a long day.  When he stood on the tee at 10 I would have bet big money he would've won his 5th jacket.  At 3:30 there were 9 folks with in two of the lead.  A South African named Charl Schwartzel pulled away with birdies on the last 4 holes.  It was truly one on the most amazing finishes in golf history.

We had a large time all weekend as Elba had a tournament also.  I guess spring is finally here as the tour is in full swing.  It was great seeing a lot of people I wouldn't see if not for golf. 

That's really all I have.  I will try to post later in the week.

Moving Day @ the Masters

Hey Guys,

Well it's Saturday of Masters Week which means its "moving day".  It's time to put yourself in position to win this most prestigious tournament.

Man this week has been busy.  Tuesday I had a dermatologist appointment in Dothan.  Wednesday I had a clinic at AL limb.  It appears I may go a new knee soon.  It should help my mobility quite a bit.  After the clinic I met Dr, Vermillion and crew at Chappy's for lunch.  We had a great time catching and seeing what was new.  I also saw the barber shop women, "little" Amy Peavy, and "respiratory" John.  I love seeing all the people that contributed with saving my life.

Thursday and Friday I have been engrossed with the Masters and trying to do as little as possible while keeping up with the leader board.  I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

MASTERS WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Guys,

This is the week that I look forward to for 51 weeks.  I'm sure I have written about my love for this tournament and course before.  ANGC-Augusta National is one of the most amazing places I have ever been to.  It makes the the cathedral that was "Old Yankee Stadium" seem like an ordinary place or The Rose Bowl just an old field.  I woke up this morning thinking of the people walking through the gates for the first time.  Beers and sandwiches are 2 bucks and EVERYTHING is Augusta green. It is surreal.

This weekend we had a good but busy weekend.  Yesterday was Dennis and Jan's anniversary and we ate at there house and watched the final four games.  Mom was at the beach with the Dothan crowd.  They said it was great except for a little wind.  Dad was playing golf in Greenville and Reese was at the Gymnastics meet in T-town.

Last night as I was watching the ACM's I started reading the blog from the beginning.  It is almost unbelievable.  3 years seems such a long time until you think back to where I was.  Have a good week.
