52 Days until East Carolina Football!!

I was at Southpoint in Durham, NC today and saw David Garrard! For

those of you that don't follow ECU football, he was the quarterback at

ECU when I was in school there. He's now a quarterback for the

Jacksonville Jaguars. David and I are both construction management

majors (he was in most of my classes) His starting salary was a lot

higher than mine. Many of you know that Garrard came to my house in

college and played College Football on the playstation--he was on the

game!!

Baseball, Bog Garden, The Best Hot Dogs in the Galaxy!, and Happy 4th

We went to a Durham Bulls game last week for my sister-in-law's

birthday. If you've never been to a Bulls game-you need to. It is by

far the best minor league stadium I've ever been to (sorry Greensboro)

Here I am with my two brothers (Jimmy and Wally) wondering if we're

ever gonna catch a foul ball--Jimmy actually did catch one in the 7th

inning and gave it to James, our little nephew--all the girls in the

stadium said, "awwww Uncle Jimmy that was so nice!" Kelly's parents

(Mama Lu and Grandaddy) came to visit us last weekend. We went to the

Bog Garden to feed the ducks and look at the waterfall--another great

place to take visitors in the 'Boro. Just look out for the weirdo

doing some kind of crazy thing with no shirt on near the

waterfall-seriously I think I was the only one that saw him but it was

weird--he may have been doing some type of power yoga or something.

I've got three and a half words for you! Bright Leaf Drive-In. If you

haven't been to the Bright Leaf Drive-In movie theatre in Mt. Airy, NC

then I feel sorry for you. If you have a couple of minutes call this

number to at least listen to their answering machine

(336.786.5494)Folks, this is as red as it gets! Until I went there the

other night, I could only imagine what a drive-in movie was like. My

mom told me they used to get in their pajamas and my Pap and Grandma

and would take them to the drive-in. A guy at work told me they had

the best hot dogs in the galaxy--he was right!

Kelly and I went with our friends, Jeff and Becca, to the Bright Leaf

drive-in on Tuesday night. We got there around 9:00pm and stayed until

4:00 in the morning--we watched all three movies. Madison was with us

too, but she slept the whole time. Here is Kelly and Becca in the back

of my truck watching the movie. We had room for 4 more so next time

ya'll will have to come with us. We watched "Evan Almighty",

"Fantastic Four", and "Knocked Up" all for $5/person total! Wow, she

is cute. Madison can't wait to see the fireworks and celebrate the 4th

of July!!
