Beach Bums

Last week we spent the week in Orange Beach with family while Royann got her CE's for the year. It was Royann, Ann Fleming, Nana, Pi, Emily, Ashley, Aunt Margie, and Me. We all had a good time despite the oil in the gulf. I spent most of the time playing golf with friends that were also in Gulf Shores. Ann Fleming had the best time with her grandparents. She didn't want to take pictures though.

Getting Home Before 8:00

If we get home before 8:00 it is a very early day for us. Does anyone remember the eighties doughnut commercial about the guy that repeats the same thing each day(he is walking out the door at 4:00 in the morning and saying " Got to make the doughnuts" then walking back in late that night saying "I made the doughnuts"). That is what Royann's and my life feels like lately. Here is our schedule:

1. wake up at 5:40
2. make the coffee
3. shower
4. dress
5. pack the car( i feel like I am packing for vacation each day, it is a lot of crap)
6. leave by 6:30 and drive to Greenville
7. get there and unpack all this crap
8. work all day and maybe get a lunch
9. pack the car again (all that crap again)
10. drive home
11. Unpack all of this crap again
12. try to get get home before dark and which lately has been unusual
13. eat
14. shower
15. go to bed and repeat over

If we do get home before dark, we get to do one of our favorite things. We feed our fish from our deck on Mossy Lake. We have even bought a automatic feeder for when we are not there. When I say we have fish, we have fish in biblical proportions (hundreds). They are on top of one another trying to get to the food. We have all kinds, catfish and bream, big and small, dark colored and light colored. Royann has even started to name them. We have a Scarface, Black Man, and Braveheart(because he will come close to Royann on the deck).







This is Black Man

Same Genes and I Don't Mean Blue Jeans!

You don't think they came from the same gene pool do you?

Talk About Some Crazy Family Pictures

I found this site the other night while on the internet. I can remember taking a lot of pictures just like this. I think by the time Ann Fleming gets old enough we will have a few with her also. Take a look it is great:
