Wally on the Road!

(This picture of Edee has nothing to do with the post, but I couldn't help myself! She is just too cute, and she's ready for a visit from her Poppy Wally!!!)

Daddy is coming to Dallas next week for a scan and a little chemo. He is making his way to Burleson on Monday afternoon, and then Eric will be accompanying him to his appointment at Baylor on Tuesday morning. It is my first day of school, so I can't make it. TeeLee is also starting back to teaching at a brand new high school, where she will be the drill team director. I was at a brand new school last year, so I know what a thrill it is to be a in a beautiful new building! I'm a little worried about letting Eric and Daddy loose in the big city, but I am hoping that

they behave!! ;-)

We are looking forward to a great report, so please keep Daddy in your thoughts and prayers!

Love,

Wendee

Pictures of the Birthday Boy!

Here are a few pictures of the birthday celebration in Spicewood! Enjoy!
Daddy with a few of his "children" and grand-children!

Eric was so excited about Daddy's birthday that he started the celebration Friday night. He had LOTS of fun helping Daddy enjoy his big day! (He even has the scars to prove it! :-))

You are never too old to be a Daddy's Girl!

Christy served the most wonderful red velvet cake! Daddy couldn't wait for his slice! We enjoyed it again the next night with some homemade ice cream that Webb and Sharon brought over! What a nice treat! TeeLee and her girls are heading down this weekend for a belated celebration. I think Daddy deserves an entire Birthday Month!

Birthday Fun!!

Eric, Edee and I took a trip to Spicewood last weekend. It was Daddy's birthday and we wanted to be a part of the celebration. We had lots of fabulous food and beverages, as well as some wonderful hospitality. Daddy and Eric took care of some "honey-do's," in between watching rounds of the British Open. They were able to hook up a TV on the patio, and now Daddy can watch the lake, his dog and Golf TV all at the same time. Life is good!! Edee and I enjoyed playing outside, but poor Christy had to work part of the time. I guess someone in the group had to be responsible!

We loaded up and traveled down the road to Krause Springs on Sunday. What an incredible oasis from the awful heat that is currently drying out the Hill Country! I don't know what Edee enjoyed most, swimming in the cool water or watching all of the interesting people there!!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!! Cheers to MANY more!!

Love,

The Fourth of July With our Favorite Veteran

Well, here he is in the first annual 4th of July Parade in Spicewood....doesn't he look great!!!! Wally and the Willys were in rare form. Wally is an extraordinary man, if I may say so. Nothing can get him down....not even cancer. I am so proud of him. Thank you again, dear friends and family, for all the prayers. God does listen!

Love,

Christy

Happy Father's Day!!

Uncle Mike was able to visit Daddy at the lake this weekend! I'm so thankful that these two buddies and fabulous fathers were able to spend some time together. Eric also made it back from Orlando. He and Edee are looking sharp as they get ready for a trip to the pool.

I am counting my blessings this Father's Day! :-)

XOXO!

Back on the green!

Daddy had his first golf outing since returning home! Doug and Bill picked him up early Monday morning so they could TRY and beat the Texas heat. They were able to complete a full round! YEAH!!

Daddy received a lovely golf frame from a wonderful friend, Pat Dipprey. She told him to take a picture the first time he returned to the golf course and put it in the frame. In honor of her late husband (Dip), Daddy wore Dip's hat, shirt and carried his golf bag to the course yesterday. What a fitting tribute on such a momentous occassion! :-)

Summer is here in a BIG way! Jump in the pool, play at the lake, drink a cold one! Do whatever you have to, but stay COOL!!

It's good to be home (or in Red River)!

I spoke to Daddy and Christy several times over the course of the weekend. Daddy sounds terrific, but he is trying to find that fine line between enjoying his time at home without over-doing it. He and Mr. Ramzee have gone on many good walks, and he has spent some time watching Christy work in the yard. Sounds like my house, except I am the one doing the watching and Eric does all the work!

Eric, Edee, Elkee and I will be heading to Red River in a few weeks and WE CAN'T WAIT! When I told Daddy that we bought the above child carrier and that it would fit me or Eric easily, he said, "You mean you can carry Eric in that thing?" I guess that would be one way to get him home from the Bull! So, for all you Red River readers, be on the lookout for us as we pull into town with dirtbikes, Samurai, coolers, backpacks, baby strollers, wagons and everything else that is required when traveling with children, or husbands that act like children!

Happy Summer!
