Dear Becca & Grant,
            I think I am coming down with a case of cellulitis, my arch nemesis. I felt bad today at work but I got better so I thought maybe it wasn't cellulitis at all but when I changed into shorts after work I noticed the swelling in my leg. I feel like crap right now. I'm going to take an Excedrine PM and go to bed very shortly. I can not miss another day of work because I have missed way beyond too many as it is. I pray that I feel better in the morning.
      I promised that I would take Becca to Jake and Jon's middle school football scrimmage. She was very excited about going but ended up being bored out of her head. She had to go pee while we were there. There was one of those nasty port-a-potties there. She took one look at it and told me that I was going to have to hold her above the potty because she didn't want to sit on it. I don't blame her.
      I came home a little early because I felt so bad I thought maybe Becca & Grant would think I was cross with them when in fact I'm just sick and I turn into a big baby when I am sick. I just wanted to check in real quick before I take a shower and try to go to sleep. Daddy loves Rebecca & Grant!

Dear Becca & Grant,
                     Well, I missed the kids this weekend something fierce but I did get some stuff done which wouldn't have happened if I had the kids. I mowed the lawn, trimmed around stuff with the weed eater, edged the sidewalks and even clipped the hedges. Of course I ended up cutting the wire of my expensive noise reduction headphones in two. That made me a bit ticked off. I also cleaned out the garage and am now able to get that new car in out of the elements. Oh how I wish I had never bought that car. I then cam inside and after a half an hour break I spent about two hours cleaning the house.
      Today I went to the grocery store and bought about twenty-one dollars worth of stuff and to Wok-n-Go for some Chinese food to eat while I looked at some television. I watched an episode of Monk, and episode of Psych and an episode of Eureka. I also did some laundry while I watched television. The washer wouldn't work on the second load but after it cooled down some it did work. I think it may be going shot which is not really something I'm real happy about right now.
      We had lots of fun a few weeks back when Mamaw, Papaw, the kids and I went to the Louisville Zoo. I remember going to the Knoxville Zoo when I was just a wee lad and I loved it. I went to the Jacksonville Zoo when I was courting my first ex-wife and I didn't enjoy that one as much. It was in the dead heat of the summer in Florida so you can imagine how hot it was and it stunk to high heaven. I really enjoyed the Louisville Zoo though. I love seeing all the exotic animals. My favorite was the gorillas. They also had pygmy hippos near the gorillas and I was looking forward to seeing them but I never did. I will be taking the kids back there often and I am sure I will see them soon enough. Becca had a good time as well. She enjoyed the petting zoo which I thought was kind of lame. All they had were goats. Growing up I had all the goats I could stand on account of my grandfather, Bambi Dee raising goats. They have an awesome splash park at the zoo called Glacier Run. That's what Becca enjoyed the most; that and the train ride around the zoo. She loves a train. She also loved the conservation carousel they had there as well. She liked that kind of stuff more than the animals. I liked seeing all the animals. Maybe I'm just a big kid.
      Well, I think Mamaw & Papaw are coming over and bringing some fish from Long John Silvers with them so I had better get off of the computer, I prefer Captain D's fish though. Daddy loves Rebecca & Grant!

Dear Becca & Grant,
                  This is the longest period of time between posts since I began posting. Lots have happened since last I checked in. Earlier in July we all went to Richmond we to watch Jon's Woodford All-Star baseball team lose to Mercer county. We stopped at Cracker Barrel after the game and had the worst experience of our lives at a Cracker Barrel. They didn't even have Becca's favorite Cracker Barrel toy in the gift shop, a jack in the box. We swam a whole lot. Mom & I took the kids to a small festival behind McDonalds where Becca road the same pony she rode at the county fair.
      We went to the Louisville Zoo while I was off on vacation and we all had a grand time. Becca liked the splash park best of all.
      I am having trouble with my internet connection so I am a little distracted. I will post again this weekend as Mom has the kids this weekend. Daddy loves Rebecca & Grant!
