Since it was Dad's Birthday Monday I had to post that and couldn't give and update on other things. Well, the 2nd weekend of the month was the "ticket tournament" at the ECC. The weekend was great and we had a wonderful turnout for the raffle. In fact I believe it went down as the most successful weekend ever at the club. We had the "Lower Levee Boys" on the patio after the raffle and a good crowd stayed to hear them.
Last weekend we went to some friends wedding. It was a very nice wedding(I can't use the term sweet). It cooled off as a storm blew in but it never rained and it was very comfortable. Congrats Drew and Ashton!
DeAnn is competing in a boat race Saturday in Montgomery. I believe it is for charity and her company is involved. If you happen to be close to the river go check her out. Also, Saturday afternoon our good friend and my classmate Cammie Kelley is getting married at Landmark park. I know it will be very grand affair if Cam is involved.

Happy Birthday Pop!
Today is Dad's 61st birthday. I think over the last 3+ years I have conveyed how I feel about my family. Five or six years ago dad had a list of things he wanted to do. A couple years later it became a bucket list after the movie came out. The last thing on this list is a trip to Key West. I wanted to do this last year for his 60th b-day, but with him building and me buying the agency the timing was terrible.
Well a few weeks ago I mentioned the trip to Uncle Daniel and he went into full blown planning mode. So, 6 of us are leaving Oct. 5 and flying to Miami. The next morning we will start a drive to Islamorada. We plan on exploring all the keys, but I am on a mission to watch the sunset in Mallory Square. I know this is not a birthday present, but I think it will feel that way once we are wheels up.
Happy Birthday big Guy! I love you so much.

Hump Day!
Hey Guys,
I thought I had posted last week, but as I got in I noticed it was July the last time you heard from me. I really am sorry. Anyway, last Friday I had to go back to AAL to change a few things on the knee. After we made the adjustments I had a little time so I stopped by HeathSouth and saw LeeAnn, Jennifer and the rest of my old therapist and friends. We had a great visit except it was so hot and every time I got out of the car sweat was just pouring off of me.
I went to DeAnn's office and saw some of her co-workers that I haven't seen in a while. She has a few characters up there that just crack me up. The only problem was I got scolded every time I laughed or talked. We left and tried to get in a little back to school shopping.
After shopping we had a dinner date at the Pub with Teddy and Lisa. We had such a good time catching up with them and the food was great as usual. As we were leaving DeAnn and I both agreed that those two were the biggest reason we miss living in Montgomery. Good Times!
Saturday saw us go to Dothan to check on Mom at the hospital. Oh yeah, Lucia had a bout with diverticulitis. By Saturday, she was doing well and ready to go home. However, us being hospital experts we knew it would be Sunday. Sunday, after Ham I went to break Mom out. I'm happy to report she is doing well and back to her busy ways.

End of July
Hey Guys,
Like "Miss" Mildred said in the comment, please continue to keep Mike in your thoughts and prayers. Also, Brice Paul had a double lung transplant. He is stable from what I understand and they are optimistic.
I went to AAL on Wednesday and got my new knee. I am liking it, but it needs a little tweaking. I will probably go back next week to get those adjustments.
I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ready for football season. I watched the Bama/Arkansas game from last year the other night. DeAnn made fun of me, but I was jonesing to watch a game.
I know I haven't said anything that is earth-shattering lately, but thinks a slow. I think that's a good thing.

Saturday Morning
Hey Guys,
I hope everyone had a great week. I really just wanted to post and say we need a few prayers for Bryce Paul. I'm hearing he had a lung transplant and his body is rejecting it. Bryce was appointed sheriff after my grandfather was killed and was elected until he retired in the 1990's.
My pal Mike Kelley is still fighting his cancer and needs continued prayers. I haven't heard an update on him in a few days. Maybe B Money or Mrs. Mildred will fill us in.
Its been pretty slow around here socially. We have our big tournament the second weekend in August. then 3 weeks after that its FOOTBALL SEASON.

Free Weekend!
The golf tournament in Elba was a lot of fun, but it will wear you out if you're not careful. Dad and Reese played decent and snuck to the pay window. We had 2 options of live music on Saturday night. Chace Sauls' girlfriend was playing at the club. Incredible and very talented. Bad habits, a southern rock band, was at the oyster bar. Naturally, we hit both. Good times.
I found out this week that WC approved the request for my new knee. I will be getting the Rheo 2 in a week or so. I'm really hoping this helps me continue towards freedom with no cane.
Aunt Jenny is back in the hospital with an infection that the Docs are trying to figure out. Get well soon Ninny. I love you.

Tournament Time
Hey Guys,
Last weekend we were at the beach for the 4th. John and Jenny weren't there, Aunt Ninny had a couple of issues, but thankfully she is fine and on the mend. Kathy and Jenni Waters came down on Saturday. Bert didn't come because his boyfriend wasn't coming down. Shocker ya know. I mean, you think you know someone and then you find a whole new side to them. I thought we were tighter than that Bert, you really hurt me. Sorry about the tangent. The beach was packed like I haven't seen since 2007.
Dad, DeAnn, and I came back on Sunday morning so we could go to Mrs. Brunson's funeral. It was a really nice service for such a sweet lady. Please say a prayer for the Brunson family.
This weekend there is a golf tournament in Elba. We will probably be hanging around the club most of the weekend. Hope everyone has a good one.
