book and camera - Kathy

Kathy,
When I left Atlanta last weekend, both the camera AND your book were on the buffet. Fran, thanks for bringing the boys down for Dylan's birthday...he had a great time and we loved having y'all visit. Tomorrow, Dylan goes to Charlie's for the week....it's always lonely for me...the house is too quiet...but it will give me an opportunity to finish painting my kitchen and get ready for Charleston next weekend (Eddie and I are going). I start back to school (job) on July 28th...where has the summer gone???
Fran, I hope your boys don't hate me after this weekend...I know I sounded "mean" to them but I wanted them to help you out in any way they could...Family, Fran is having a difficult time - my guess is that she might have an ovarian cyst that's rupturing (or trying to); she is in extreme pain and passed out this morning. I'm going to nag her about seeing/calling her doc to see what can be done (and what the problem is). Kathy, I hope you are feeling better - I can't believe you had another stomach virus....I think you need to see a gastro doctor. Reynold, any complaints? :o)
I talked to Mom tonight while I sat by the pool watching Dylan swim. Mom sounded better than I've heard her sound since Dad's stroke. We talked about the AL trip and agreed we needed to go back this fall; she kept talking about how much she enjoyed it. She asked me whether or not I took a picture of the "pink" house she grew up in (newborn to age 7ish?)....I did not because the current owners acted so funny about us gawking at the house BUT the biggest reason was because there was so much JUNK in front of the house. The owner (his mother was Dixie - related to Mom somehow) said the house/fireplace had caught on fire at one point and he knocked the fireplace OFF the house to put the fire out. He also knocked the front porch off of the house because it was in such disrepair....see a trend here? :oP
