Listening to the dogs play

As I write, I am listening to Jolie bark at Diesel because he won't play with her. They've been getting along very well over the past few weeks. I'm so proud of both of them. Diesel has been more accepting of her actions and Jolie has calmed down some. Even Lucy has learned to tolerate our hyper little Jolie.
I've had football the past two Friday nights. I haven't had any action yet but it's really nice to be a part of high school sports. Fyffe lost a very well played season opener to Westbrook Chrisitian.
I'm really looking forward to the upcoming week. College football begins Thursday and we're going to Tuscaloosa for the game this weekend.

Glad the weather has finally cooled down some. We can't wait for Fall here: Melissa because she likes to decorate for the season and me because it's football season and the weather is much cooler.

Hope you're all doing well!

Whew...It's a bit warm.

I find it a bit to warm when you can't even get into a swimming pool to cool off. I've been avoiding all yard work and I just sorta wish my grass would burn up instead of growing. I've been going to morning football practices and even then it's almost too hot to be practicing football. They practice at 5:00pm today. There are many times I wish I was back on that field but this is not one of those times. I remember when I was younger, I'd need a jacket when we woul go watch football games. Now, you might need a jacket if you make the playoffs.

All this watching football practice has really got me charged up for the upcoming Alabama football season. I hope to make it to Tuscaloosa for at least 2-3 games this season. I'm definitely going to make it for the Georgia State game. I don't know if all of you know this but I am an alum of both schools. I know GSU won't be very good but I am going to pulling for this this season as they get started. Bill Curry is one of the more genuine individuals that I've ever met in my lifetime. You can't get away without him telling you stories about about when he played at Georgia Tech or when he played with Johnny U in Green Bay. I didn't agree with and still don't agree with them having a football team but when they hired Coach Curry I became more supportive.

We're doing very well right now. Our mini zoo is running as smooth as can be expected. We hope to get the puppy trained on our underground fence ASAP. Maybe she can teach Diesel a few tricks.

Melissa started back to school this week and I think the kids start back on Tuesday. She loves her job more than anyone I know and I proud that she found something that is so meaningful and fulfilling.

Until next...
Hydrate, stay out of extreme temperatures, and Roll Tide!
