Hey old man and woman,
Hope you guys are doing well. GH didn´t forget about your birthday on the 15th. Hard to believe you´re 96 years old and you´re out there running around like a teenager.
I love you guys and miss you all the time. Robin got rid of the motorhome. I think she practically gave it away just to get it out of here. It´s nice having my front yard again.
Well, once again, I need to close for now. Know that you´re always in my thoughts and prayers. Love you.
Oh forgot to tell you that I went to see Mama on her birthday and of course, Steve and Donald. The bear came right up to me. He/She almost looked cute and friendly. That´s Nosey in her soon to be her Halloween costume. Figured that Chihuahua´s are known as Mexican dogs so she got a sombrero. Also that´s Sam in the backseat. Whenever he talks bad about my driving I pull over and tell him you have 2 choices, you drive or get in the back seat. We were pulled over for 20 minutes before he relinquished, lol.

Hey old man happy Father´s Day. Hi mom how are you and dad? Sure would´ve been nice to have you here to celebrate the best dad ever. He, of course, would be accompanied by his wife, my mom, lol!!!
I went with the Kloke´s to see John´s father and his stepmom. They had such a beautiful home right on the Rappahannock River, which I would guess was worth two maybe 3 million. They had a four car garage detached with two apartments above it. They also had a three car garage attached to the home that also has an apartment. The father also owned the two houses next to his . John´s father was in the military and I want to say he was a colonel. Anyway, we all went to eat at the yacht club, which is a members only club. I had a cheeseburger that had jam, bacon, blue cheese dressing, and hot pickles. It was so good , and I´m so glad I ordered that instead of the pancakes I was thinking of ordering. Just was thinking when I was looking over the menu, let´s try something different and so I did, and I was pleasantly surprised. You guys would´ve loved it not the burger But their place on the river.
Dickie and Debi went to Vegas and I´m looking after the cats. Sammy and Tabitha have the dogs at their house.
Took Nico and Connor bike riding and Connor had an accident as he was trying to record him beating us to the finish line. Thankfully, it was just a little road rash and wasn´t too bad. It´s great my iPhone up a little bit and my bike is going to have to be repaired. Thankfully, it´s my second bike not the one that I usually ride. Anyway, my body is a little sore this evening probably because I haven´t been riding so far this year. I didn´t do anything extraordinary as far as pushing myself, but I guess my body is just making me pay as I get older, ha ha ha.
I saw Robin, Tamara , Jay Jay and Grady as well. Everyone was doing well. Robin had worked the dayshift but of course we took this minute. We had to talk about our next cruise coming up in October. Do you know Robin and I go on at least two cruises together every year. This last cruise we had a suite, which was the very first time for Robin, Tina and myself. It was so nice and even had a bathtub with jets. We couldn´t use the balcony because it had some kind of soot on it and are clothes would get black spots. But we definitely had a good time as always. Oh by the way, Grady graduated high school and we were all so proud of him. He can stay in school until he´s 23 because of his autism. They are going to teach him to drive a car and take a wood carving class. He is so excited and he is so smart and wise. Being just 18 years old we have some pretty deep conversations and he´s like an old soul. Reminds me of your dad.
DoDo went to Egypt without Sam. We had to go to Immigration for Sam´s. Do his citizenship test and interview and everything went super well. Now we´re just waiting for the paperwork. Come in to tell us when he has to go in front of the judge. As soon as he knows that I´m pretty sure he´ll book his ticket. All the boys are doing OK and I know how much he misses them.
Saw Maryann this past week. She is now 91 years old. In fact, she is seven days younger than you mom. She keeps plugging away.
Rene was in the hospital with pneumonia and some issues breathing and just not feeling up to par. Anyway, she´s getting better. She is almost 76 years old and has never had any medical issues. Both her parents died in their bed sleeping in their 70s and neither one of them had any medical problems.
Anyway, I´m gonna go to bed. Just wanted to let you guys know how much I love you and how much your missed. I´ll be talking with you soon. Love love love you.

Dear mom and dad,
Just laying here in bed. Ready to go to bed as in sleep ZZZZ. Today wasn´t bad outside but I feel cold and whenever I feel cold, I go to bed early and a snuggle under the blanket.
Beth´s and I went riding in the convertible Yesterday and I saw an old friend of mine who used to work at St. Mary´s who I hadn´t seen for many years. Anyway, it´s always good to see people you haven´t seen in a while and get the latest and greatest it´s been going on.
Beth´s and I are going to go to the shooting range tomorrow and take Rocky`s 38 Special . Last time I was having a hard time pulling the trigger. Don´t know if it´s because of my neuropathy or just weakness in my hands. I even tried to use two fingers to pull the trigger. Anyway, I want to go check out this new gun that we can test on as well .
Tina will be here in about three weeks and Robin tina and I will go on our cruise to the Bahamas and the Caribbean, it´s just eight days long. Anyway, I love you both and I hope you´re thinking of me like I´m thinking of you. I love you and I miss you both.

Hi Mom and Dad,
Just thought I would throw a few more pictures up. Sam finally shaved. I really prefer the clean shaved look but I got to admit, Sam looked pretty good with a beard and mustache.
Anyway I´m at work. Gotta take Terry to the doctor and Brenda his wife has to do some business stuff. I left Nosey at home today but she tried her best to change that, lol. Love You and Miss You.

Hi mom and dad,
On my way to work with my co-pilot Nosey by my side. She thinks every time I go somewhere she is supposed to go with me. Luckily for me, I can take her to all my jobs because everyone I work for really love animals especially dogs.
Charlotte Ayres Beadles died on Friday and Vikki went to the funeral. She wrote a letter to her mom and had some private time to say her goodbyes and to say what she wanted to say. She´s doing OK and I think she´s at peace. You don´t have to worry about her because I will always look after her and Christina. Vikki will always be your first grandchild. Those two are my girls and I think of them as my children instead of my Nieces. Just like Sam´s kids, they are my boys. I didn´t bring them into this world but I couldn´t love them anymore if they were my biological children.
Beth and I went to the shooting range and we both are really becoming good shooters. Rocky took Beth to the courthouse to get her concealed carry license started, it takes about 45 days.
Talked to Robin last night while she was at work. She is so ready to go on this cruise and I can´t wait either. Tina is coming with us and she´s so excited because this will be the first time we´ve ever booked a suite. Then of course Robin and I have our cruise booked for Hawaii in October for 15 days and of course I´ll be in California for two weeks prior to that to see Val, Carol, Lauree and all the others I can´t wait to see.
It´s Ramadan and so Sam and DoDo are fasting for 30 days or so. Muslims do this once a year as a way to redirect their life to God or rededicate is probably more proper to say.
Anyway, I love you guys and I will talk to you soon. I keep playing 2749 and 2549 so dad you need to talk to the lottery gods and put in a good word , because I keep getting close but I´m always off by that one number, lol. Mom, I might need your help getting that old man to see them lottery guys a little sooner. Love you both as always, and I miss you.
