The other day, next door Melinda had asked if I would go with her Mom who was taking little Will to Briar Creek for a b'day party for one of his baseball teams' friends' to a place called Frankie's Fun Park...the place is HUGE! Has all kinds of rides and games plus a restaurant. This deal was ONLY supoposed to be like a 2

The other day, next door Melinda had asked if I would go with her Mom who was taking little Will to Briar Creek for a b'day party for one of his baseball teams' friends' to a place called Frankie's Fun Park...the place is HUGE! Has all kinds of rides and games plus a restaurant. This deal was ONLY supoposed to be like a 2 hour gig but turned into 3 1/2 hours. The noise on the insid eof the building was absolutely deafening with all the screeches coming from the kids, it was like wall-to-wall! I've never seen a more elaborate pitch and putt gold course, there were waterfalls with colored water, buildings, bridges, etc. The rain there had stopped and they opened up the go carts after they blew the water off the track. That looked interesting and Melinda's mom had said she never went on a go cart, so, we went on the ride, it was okay I guess, but, I certainly wish it were You driving around there...You've told me several times that You never drove one of those go carts and I had told You many times, that, when we would pass by the go cart place here in town that "we have to try that" and You said "maybe some day" but You put that off every time instead of saying You're just not interested. That I couldn't understand because You liked driving the riding mower around the yard, so, these things are a little faster, no? You would have enjoyed it! PAcked outta there around 4:30, back to the house 5;15, dropped off the folks next door. Bill's folks are here 'till Wed. for Joey's little graduation and they invited me for dinner. Bill's mom made a really good lasagne & a great salad...boy was I hungry, I had not eaten since breakfast. But, now it's 10:40pm and I'm beat, so, I'll close for now...uh oh, it's raining, but, that's okay, we need it for the grass & shrubs. There's a HUGE Mega Millions jackpot tonite, up to over 600 million! Watch, just one person will win & will be an illegal immigrant like the one who won the last big prize, and, he owed lots of alimony support that he tried to skip out on. I MISS YOU Deb, very much. A HUGE HUG for my Sweetheart and a HUGE KISS for my Lovely Lady......I Love You, Dan

Debbie........Another beautiful day here today, temps hit 89 w/low humidity. Went to the gym, stopped at store pick up a few things, home at around 4:00. went next door to Wilbur's, he & Lucille just back from a weeks visit in VA, gave him a large container of fresh strawberries. Then went to Frank's house, gave him some magazines to read. Told him that my underground sprinkler system had a broken valve at the corner of the driveway.....he said, lets
Debbie........Another beautiful day here today, temps hit 89 w/low humidity. Went to the gym, stopped at store pick up a few things, home at around 4:00. went next door to Wilbur's, he & Lucille just back from a weeks visit in VA, gave him a large container of fresh strawberries. Then went to Frank's house, gave him some magazines to read. Told him that my underground sprinkler system had a broken valve at the corner of the driveway.....he said, lets go take a look. Sure enough, what happened was the guy that installed the invisible fence used a machine to cut a trough thru the grass and severed the sprinkler feeder hose. Frank says, back to my house to get tools & new sprinkler parts. He sawed off the old split piece & fabricated a new one...did a damn good job, I must say! If I had someone come in to fix the damage, I'm SURE they would hand me, like, a $200 bill....I'll get dinner tickets for him to take Linda to an Outback restaurant, they both like eating out at nice places. She stayed upstairs while I was there because she spent the last 3 days out on the coast & got a real good burn, with swollen eyes, a sthe way Frank describes her. Our neighbor across the street brough over a piece of banana cream pudding...I haven't tasted it yet, I put it in frige but it looks damn good. Honey, it's 11:08pm & have to close my eyes, so, I'll bid You adieu for now. I MISS YOU very much, and I LOVE YOU very much......why have we parted, and in such a tragic way? I didn't even have time to say goodbye, although I was with You all the time we were in the hospital....watching You lie there in the emergency room, I thought my heart was going to explode. The lady came to me when they had You set up in ICU with a respirator and much later in the nite a doctor came in to say that Your not coming home, there was too much brain damage, that ripped me apart. And when Jeff & Melissa came and spoke to the doctor & they agreed to take You off the respirator & to donate Your organs to someone that could use them, I thought I would die, I all thought this was a bad dream, a nightmare. Melissa & I were with You in the operating room when they too You off the respirator, oh my God, watching You take Your last breath was something I never want to witness again...ever! You were not ready to leave this earth, Your last breaths were heavy & heaving, it was horrible watching You lie there fighting for each breath....I can't go on, Hon, it just brings back all the sad memories.. A HUGE KISS for my Lovely Lady and a HUGE HUG for my SweetHeart......I Love You....Dan

Debbie........Nice weather today, pretty warm, high cirrus clouds but no rain...we need rain! Went to Overby's Marine sales today, where the boat is stored, listed the boat on a consignment. While there, Martha owner of Steele Creek Marina where we had the boat for the past couple of years, came in to buy 12 canoes for her business & she knew I was there because she had seen the Corvette parked outside. She asked "buying a boat"? Told her I

She asked "buying a boat"? Told her I waqs selling the one we had & she was surprised and I had told her that we lost You and she got pretty teary and said, "c'mere, give me a hug" and almost crushed my ribs. She said to come on up anytime, and added "I know you both really liked coming up here" and said to c'mon up anytime...she's the old sea dog but really nice, You and I both liked her. I went to an NRA dinner in Smithfield...., Sweet Jesus, I was surrounded by hokey locals that talk that heavy souther crap that I can't even understand what in the hell they're yapping about. I bought some raffle tickets and won a really nice (made in the USA) blanket, very heavy. I'm going to lala land, Hon, so I'll sign off for now. I MISS YOU and I LOVE YOU.....a HUGE KISS for my Sweetie and a HUGE HUG for my Lovely Lady....I Love You, Deb......Dan

HoneyObba.........Right now, it's just a few minutes after 10:00pm, just at the time You would be coming in from work...I just get so emotional at this time of day, I've always looked forward to Your coming in the door so I could give You a big hug and a kiss....why was this all taken away from us? Hottest day of the year so far, hit 90but low humidity so it wasn't really that hot and not a cloud in the

Hottest day of the year so far, hit 90but low humidity so it wasn't really that hot and not a cloud in the sky....wish You were here with me to have enjoyed it together, just lazying under a tree in the back yard. Didn't do much except go to the gym. One of the guys over there had invited me to his house for a bbq for this Sat., but have to decline because when I went next door to give Melinda to return her tupperware piece back, she had asked if I would go with her mom to take Will to a b'day party in Briar Creek because she knew nothing about getting there, so, I said I would do that...how could I even think to deny her, they have been so good to me, not only just being friendly neighbors but after You've left us, they always were right there with me to give me comfort & support. I'm going to call it a day, Hon, so I'll say goodnight for now. I LOVE YOU and I MISS YOU, very, very much. A HUGE HUG for my Sweetie and a HUGE KISS for my Lovely Lady......I Love You Deb....... Dan

Debbie.........Another gorgeous weather day today, nice cool temps, lo 60's, high cirrus clouds but tomorrow supposed to go to high 80's...wow, what a jump! the ONLY thing I did today was to wax the 'Vette, took me a couple of hours doing it with Nu-Finish, but, damn, it came out real good, almost too damn nice to take it out of the garage! Took Kelsey for her walk thru the area. Had seen some neighbors on the back street washing

Took Kelsey for her walk thru the area. Had seen some neighbors on the back street washing their car & stopped and chatted with them for about 20 minutes or so, nice folks...the lady was the one who went after Abby when she took off. Just got an e-mail from Richie Merlis, he's going to the Corvette Museum next month & will be stopping here after- wards. I also suggested to him that if he's coming to NC that he should seek out going to the Biltmore Estate, I know he & Susan would love to see that place! Hon, it's 11:50pm & my eyes have about had it, so, I'll close for now. I LOVE YOU and I MISS YOU.....A HUGE HUG for my Sweetie and a HUGE KISS for my Lovely Lady....I Love You, Dan

Debbie........Another beautiful weather day here, temps only in mid 60's but clear and crisp, lots of billowing clouds. Did not do much of anything today except go to the gym and sweat up a storm, as usual. Came home 'bout 5:00, hitched up Kelsey for a nice walk. That's about it...very exciting, huh? It's 11:18pm and I've had it with my eyes for today, so, I'll leave for now. I MISS YOU Hon, very much.....every day, every nite, the pain

Debbie, I would like to wish You a Happy Mothers Day, and I wish You were here so I can give You a nice big hug and a kiss along with a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

Debbie, I would like to wish You a Happy Mothers Day, and I wish You were here so I can give You a nice big hug and a kiss along with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. I got an e-mail from Jeff, telling me how very upset he was today about Your not being here for him to call You and wish You a Happy Mothers Day....he tells me he was very gloomy, much like I am always when I look around and see something here that belongs to You, and there are lots of things still here that are Yours, almost every thing You had is still here except the furniture the kids had taken from the storage bin and the furniture You had upstairs that they had taken, as well....sad, so very sad. Today has had to have been THE best day so far this year, absolutely FANTASTIC! I drove out to Erwin, NC, about 40 minute drive from here, hoped to fly a glider, BUT, there was no one there! The guy at the airport had told me that yesterday the tow plane had lost power, so, no one showed up at the airfield...oh, well, it was a nice drive there and back but would have been better of course had I had been able to go aloft. Went to BJ's a picked up bunch of groceries. About 5:30 I got an "urge" to clean the back porch windows so I got the soap, the brush with the extension and the squeege and did the job, now all I have to do is the insides of those windows. About 7:00pm hitched up Kelsey for a beautiful walk. After our walk, I went across the street to Rob 7 Amy's house, lots of the folks were gathered for an impromptu get together and when they had seen me they yelled, "get over here" so I joinedthem for a bit....I'm SO glad to have such nice neighbors! Honey, it's almost 1:00am & my eyes are very tired, so, I'll say goodnight. I MISS YOU very much, I LOVE YOU very much......a HUGE HUG for my Sweetie and a HUGE KISS for my Lovely Lady....I Love You, Dan

HoneyObba.........Nice weather today, heavy overcast, called for heavy rains, but, never came, just a sprinkling around 6:30. Washed down the front porch, get rid of all that yellow crap that gets all over. And the porch siding was turning green with the humidity and the sun not hitting it. So, mixed up a batch of hot soapy water & bleach and cleaned the hell out of that area, even the underside of the overhang...dang, got that stuff in my eyes

So, mixed up a batch of hot soapy water & bleach and cleaned the hell out of that area, even the underside of the overhang...dang, got that stuff in my eyes when I looked up to see how it was doing. Pulled lots of weed out of front planting area. After all that, and I really didn't need to, but, washed the 'Vette. Took Kelsey for a long walk, not too fast though, was pretty warm & she was struggling a bit. Am going to quit now, hav eto get to bed, it's 11:15pm & I have to get to sleep, am going to the airfield tomorrow & hopefully there wiill be time for me to fly a glider...was not able to contact anyone to make the appt. so, I'll "wing it"..if ya know what I meen!
