HOW IS YOUR WEEK GOING?

  This is my Monday morning flat tire. Tuesday we found out one of the bosses favorite secretaries (Helen McWaters)had passed away. Wednesday one of the girls in the office had a call from school. Her daughter had been pushed and fell off the monkey bars and broke both of her wrist. Today we found out a friend of mine, had a massive heart attack and is now in a coma...So don't even begin to tell me you had a crappy week.

I TRY TO FIND THE PERFECT CARD

WE SPARE NO EXPENSE TO CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY

 

FOR THOSE WHO LOVE FLOWERS

  I think I've come up with a year round solution.

I'VE HEARD STORIES ABOUT FLOWERS

  It seems some "girls" like them, and some girls don't. Most guys are unsure of the proper time to send them. Flowers have even been part of divorce decrees, "woman was awarded $1500.00 a week for flowers". (Mo told me that one) I misspoke when I said Mo likes flowering plants. She likes any kind of flower, at anytime. I needed to put that on the record. It has been "MY" experience that most women love flowers. I do not remember the names of all of them (the flowers) but I like them. I used to work for a florist many years ago, I send them every once in awhile. The last flowers I sent was to a co worker who just had a baby girl. I had MO pick out the flowers and the Teddy Bear, and the chocolate that went with them. The Co worker never mentioned the flowers when we met. She kept babbling on about her new baby...You think women would be more sensitive. Next woman that has a baby, I'm going to send a six pack of beer and a hotdog...I'm sure I'll hear about that. I buy flowers just because....no special reason. I think they are beautiful.

DELANEY HAS A BARBIE FISHING POLES

  This Catfish weighed 21 lbs and set a NC State record for channel cats.

THE NEW EYE CHART

  It is used to check the pressure to the optical nerve. If your eyes pop out you might not need glasses but you will need a blood pressure medicine.

CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR MATTHEW

  Here is a picture of Matthew and his biological dad just the other day. Prayer does work. Hard to keep these two guys apart. Pray for the step dad too. I'm sure he could use a little help too.

BEWARE OF JETTIES

  These are pictures of Fort Macon, and the jetty area. The family who lost there son was pleased that he was found. It gave them the closure they needed.

SOMETHINGS SEEM LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME

  Really this is a lot of fun...There are a few set backs. You can lose all your equipment, you can lose your life but what a rush! The last thing I heard one of the girls screaming was..." I don't want to dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! We didn't!

RANEY HAD HER LITTLE GIRL

 Raney delivered Dakota last Saturday. About 6 weeks premature. Dakota weighed in at 4 lbs, 5 oz. 17 inches long, dark hair... She came home yesterday, so a week in the hospital. Lungs and all are fine. Now the fun part. Raney says she is already back into her old clothes....Are you ladies going to put up with that?

GABE'S GREEN CARD HAS EXPIRED

 GABE took his son to join the Marine Corps last week, and then took his wife on a week long shopping trip to Georgia...We are going to send this picture to ICE (Immigration Customs Enforcement) and tell them we think a Mexican Drug Dealer will be coming across state lines tonight....(kidding)!

GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS

 

Good News: I love fruit and my trees are just about ready. Bad News: I live in the country and the local animal population loves fruit too...guess who won that contest!
