i guess angie admires her father-in-law enough to imitate him. she went with caleb on his field trip only to notice that she had two different shoes on. fortunately caleb is too young to be embarassed about it.
things are rather quiet around here. i know the cards are playing but we haven't watch a game yet. shame on us!
we are planning on going to caleb's soccer games in carbondale this weekend. i'm still taking it easy and he is of course, still helping where he can at Crosstown.
deb did hit a 4 pt buck yesterday even though season is not open yet(with her car). she did about $2500 damage to her car.

Amazing!


My sister called and told me that a couple about 70 miles from here found her wedding invitation on their patio the day of the "Crosstown tornado". they looked up my dad's name and found his obituary and continue the search to contact her. it had apparently came from our Aunt's house that was destroyed. AMAZING! (the invitation is from 43 years ago.)

we just returned from a few days of R&R at Montauk. the pic is our grandsons enjoying the leaves at the campsite. now i guess it is time to winterize the rv. hopefully we will be able to go to texas in january.

Homecoming

Tanner and classmates. He is the one in the middle, standing and waving.
Marching Bucaneers!
Brandon is on the other side, second row from the left
Pirates flags were hung on all main streets
yesterday was the annual PHS homecoming. Angie, Caleb, Ethan, and i made the trip to town to see it, of course we met up with Deb, Eric, and Paige. Brandon marched with the band playing his trumpet and Tanner took in the excitement with his classmates on a truck. Seems like only yesterday i watch my kids do these things. Chuck would have enjoyed the parade it had fire trucks, other emergency vehicles, army trucks, and police cars. the pirates went on to a victory later in the afternoon.

It happened



.
we were in an accident on wednesday morning in memphis. we hit the truck in front of us, our fifth wheel hitch broke and the camper hitch puncture the fuel tank and rammed it against the cab. so in other words we were hit from behind and front. the fuel tank had 90 gallons of diesel. DARN! ole blue is not part of the family anymore it had 312,000 niles and he was hoping to hit the million mile mark with it.... arlin is alright and i will be--- just feel like i was ran over by a trailer truck. surely this was our last run. today is a little better for me than yesterday. so i don't have a lot to say just thankful we both will be fine.

Back to normal?

By that I mean things are starting to fall back in place. he left to pick up a unit to be delivered in monroe, LA. spending the night here and leaving early in the morning. it's only about 450 miles so we should be back on thursday.

also deb called last night and said we need to use your freezer again. guess what? tanner got another deer and it was to warm to let it hang out.....so, yes, i have a deer in my freezer. (redneck) well i guess this isn't normal for most people!!!!!!!!!!

today is dwayne and angie's 19th anniversary. seems like their wedding was only yesterday.

Only memories left


Yes only memories of attending Bethlehem Baptist are left. It was torn down Friday and burn Saturday. Things are beginning to sound better around here. People are talking about returning and rebuilding.
The sightseers today were plentiful. The landscape has changed tremendously since last weekend. Most buildings have been burn and the bulldozers have cleared most sites. But as for the little town it will never be the same!
