Hey Guys,
Last week I told you that we were going to see Ron White with the AAL crew. We had a blast at his show and went to the Alley bar afterwards. We were all sitting there and I look up and Ron is walking in the front door. He didn't hang with us commoners long and went to the VIP room. I thought that was comical, but most of those folks have large egos I guess. We had a great night and thanks for the tickets Glenn.
Friday we were invited to my pal Bradley Bowers birthday celebration by his sweet wife Hope. There were several couples there and we sat around and talked about the old times. We all had a great time growing up together and it showed in all the "lies" that were told. I told Bradley we need to do this more often and he agreed. I was supposed to type this yesterday, but didn't. Anyway, Happy Birthday Bradley and tell Hope thanks for the invite.
For DeAnn's birthday, Valetine's Day, our Anniversary, Mother's Day, etc. I got us tickets to see Garth Brooks on Saturday Night in Las Vegas. We are flying out Friday and coming home Sunday. We both have always wanted to see him and there is no time like the present. I actually same him at the peanut festival in 89' or 90' but I'm not sure that counts. It is going to be a quick weekend, I'm just hoping it's worth it.

The streak is over!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On Monday I had to go to the dentist and have a cavity filled. It was the first cavity I have ever had. I really didn't know what to expect, but it was pretty painless. I wasn't too concerned because my tolerance is pretty high, but needles in my mouth had an uneasy feeling in my stomach. After a shot and 15 minutes in the chair I was up and walking out the door.
Tonight I am meeting DeAnn in Montgomery and we are going to see Ron White again with the folks at AAL. We are pre-gaming at the Renaissance with the crew. We usually have a great time with that bunch and you never know where the night might lead. I will try to give a review later on.

Family
Hey Guys,
We finally got some rain here in Elba on Friday, however some people got more than others. At this point any rain is good rain.
Last Wednesday afternoon after we closed I took a trip to Troy. I had to go visit some folks on campus. I have written before about the people I work for and with while I was in school at Troy. I intended to be up there for a couple of hours, but ended up staying all day.
When we started talking and it was like I had never left. I never dreamed when Mr. Joe Johnson gave me a job I would end up getting family out of the deal. Mrs. Mildred, B Money and Mrs. Reba treated me like one of their own. For almost 4 years I saw them day in and day out. We have shared so many laughs over the years we probably could write a book, but that would cause way too much controversy.
Mr Steve Waddail rode us around campus and showed me all the new construction and his new house. That campus is barely recognizable to someone who graduated 7 years ago. Mr Steve and I have always been close and it was great catching up with him. We laughed the whole time and my side was hurting by the end of the day. We also stopped by McCartha and saw Mrs. Lynn Hughes in the College of Business. I worked for her and Machelle Danner during the last couple of summers I was on campus. I had my choice of schedules and ate too many chicken, egg, and cheese biscuits.
It ended up being a wonderful day. I saw Mike Kelley. He went to work with creative services after I graduated but know him through Dad. They worked together in the 80's and he is such a nice guy. He is really going to need your thoughts and prayers as he recently found out he has liver cancer. I will keep you guys updated on his progress.

We Need RAIN!
Hey Guys,
Its been a while since I lasted posted an update on what's going on in our lives. We went to the beach on Memorial Day and had a very nice weekend in the sun. Kathy and Jenni Waters stopped by on Saturday for a little fellowship then Jenni took our money that night. I still haven't heard the end of it. Besides a few games of cric crack we didn't really do anything except hit the beach/pool.
This past weekend I traveled with Dad to beautiful Defuniak Springs, FL for the annual Luau golf tournament. When I was a kid this tournament was kinda the Masters of our little tour. The stories of the wildness and good times ran rampant when I was growing up. Dad quit playing years ago and when I turned 22 or so I begged him to go play with me. He finally agreed and we convinced Wynn to be our 3rd wheel. We played three years together before my accident and always had a good times and brought home a little money once or twice. Some of the best folks in the world are members of DFSCC and I love going down there to see them. It was a very hot weekend, but we had a great time and Dad, Wynn and Dewberry finished 3rd/3rd which shocked everyone in the golfing world.

Happy Birthday Mom!
Hey Guys,
I truly am sorry it has been so long since I last posted. I have a few things to share, but I want to reserve today's post for Mom. I just went back to see what I have written in the past on her birthday and I have about covered it all. Please read all the June 2nd's. She is such a sweet and caring person. Most people would agree except some former students at Troy(probably).
Mom,
I love you so much and I know you are getting ready to leave the beach, but I hope you have a great day.
Neil

Post From Reese in Tuscaloosa
Hi Everyone!
It has been a long time since I have had the opportunity or need to post on Neil's blog. I know he has kept you up-to-date on the activities in Tuscaloosa. For a town I have lived in for less than 2 years I have become very attached!
Many of you probably know that as I turned 30 this past year I thought I would do something a little different with my year. I made a list of 30 Things I want to do when I am 30. I started a blog that is tracking them in a way. With the storms that blew through a few weeks ago I have compiled a list of ways to help and have a link on the left side of my blog (the houndstooth ribbon)to the list. If you would like to see my small personal list just go to my blog at:

Just wanted to share and I hope you all are doing well!

Weekend
Hey Guys,
I hope everyone is doing well. DeAnn scolded me about my grammar and usage in the blog. I believe you all no that I am knot wrighting this to bee a professional. I usually type this, proofread it once and then let it go. I hope I don't offend anyone with my words.
Last weekend Mom, Dad, and I went to Tuscaloosa to volunteer. We got to Temporary Emergency Services(TES) on Saturday morning. I was checking in clients while they unloaded supplies and folded clothes. After a few hours I was just amazed at the support our state was getting from the rest of the country. We saw trailers come in from NC, Kentucky, and Texas. Most of the people were grateful for the help. They still need certain items in and around Tuscaloosa.
If anyone wants to get some things together I will be glad to get them up there. The most needed items I saw were cleaning supplies, new underwear, and gloves.
I was glad to help and coming from Elba we know what it feels like to see others want to contribute.
