Today..in 95 degree weather....I will attempt to cook a rib-eye steak for each one of my employees and managers. That would be approximately 155 steaks!!! A daunting task, considering the grill will go about 8 at the time. We have had a good year....I am surrounded by great people...they have done wonderful things....I look forward to just saying thank-you.
Finishing up here this afternoon, I will take dinner to my friend, Bubba, and his wife as he is now at home and getting along pretty well. I appreciate all the prayers and I know he, and his entire family, do as well. I wish each of you could meet him...he is a truly awesome grandfather, father, husband, teacher, preacher, and friend. I am a better person because of the impact he has had on my life.
Another week is winding down and a busy weekend ahead as we go to Madison to help Joey & Stacey move into their new home.

They're back!!!!!
I was right! We came back with more than we went with. Trey forgot his chair, Jennifer forgot her tennis shoes, we had 5 bags of bathroom accessories for Stacey & Joey's new house to bring back for them, Debbie found a new Ann Taylor Loft, and I found a new Ron Jon Surf Shop. We didn't have any wiggle room!!
Personally, I had a great week and did exactly what I anticipated doing. Get up, coffee, go to the beach, eat lunch, go to the beach (maybe a afternoon nap), go to dinner, sit on the porch, go to bed. We had great weather and calm seas until Wednesday. The hurricane that hit Texas created some massive seas for us and the beach was closed all day Wednesday and Thursday. Police were on patrol on land and in the air and were all over the people that decided to ignore the red flags, swift under currents, and huge waves. Fortunately Trey and I got in some great body surfing Tuesday before it got too big...even for me...and I have never been afraid of the ocean.
While we ere there, we got great news that my friend Bubba successfully went through his quadruple bypass surgery. He is now having a time with his kidneys and is back in the hospital for some urgent dialysis. I visited last night once we got back for several hours and when we called today after church, he was good enough that they were letting him go home. Pray for a healing of his kidneys that he might regain enough function that he will not have to endure the thrice weekly dialysis.
Back to work tomorrow, but.............5 more weeks of vacation before December 31st. I go again starting August 24 and a week a month until the end of the year.
