HAPPY BIRTHDAY COURTNEY!!!!!!

TODAY is Courtney's 25th birthday!!! She is
the most wonderful daughter ever! I wish her
every happiness in the world!

THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charlie and Brook's wedding was THE BEST EVER!!!!
Yes! I am highly prejudice! August 24th 2007 will be
a day I remember forever!

The beach wedding was awesome with just a hint
of rain! The reception was exceptional with great
food, dancing, laughs and TONS of love! Brook was
absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! The bridesmaids were
knockouts, Linda and Connie were gorgeous mothers
and I had a smile that could not be wiped off with Ajax!

Brook had many friends that flew in from Louisville to
spend her special day with her - we had Bob from Kentucky,
friends, neighbors. Charlie's fraternity buddies, best friend
from high school and Captain Garret Cathcart all rallied to
help make the wedding one for the ages!

My baby - Courtney looked INCREDIBLE and caught the
bouquet and here boyfriend Steven caught the garter -
UH-OH!!!!!!!!!!!!

My brother and his wife made all the flower arrangements,
brought them down from Tennessee and they were spectacular!
My nephew and his wife provided all the photography - all
the love showed through all the help!

Our new "in-laws" were a sheer delight! Lewis and Connie
Clifton are truly wonderful people and it is exciting to have
such marvelous folks in our extended family! They will be
married 38 years next month - CONGRATS good people
and come back to see us soon! We will all be making
other plans soon...............:-)

Charlie and Brook left Sunday morning for a Jamaican
honeymoon and I hope they are as happy as they have
made us!

Once again, I am overwhelmed with the countless blessings
in my life!

And THE KISS went on and on and on.............

Magical Day!

My little sunrise buddy and I are anticipating
a magical day today for Charlie and Brook's
most special date!

Charlie & Brook - I love you both! I pray
each day of your new life together will be
as special as you are to me!

1 MORE DAY!!!!

THE BIG EVENT!!!!!!!!!

THE WEDDING OF THE CENTURY!!!!!!!!


TOMORROW they become Mr and Mrs Charles C. Moores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hot Summer Days / Great Folks!

It was already 86 and muggy when the sun
appeared on Sunday! Yesterday was a record
high that eclipsed a record from 1895!!!

Last night we had a marvelous dinner with
Brook's parents, Connie and Lewis Clifton!
WONDERFUL people and we can easily see
where Brook gets so many of her awesome
qualities! We laughed and shared the excitement
of the days to come! What a blessing!
New family peeps!!!

3 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!!!!!!!! Big news coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Below is a shot of me back on "Flo" 1
month after my hip replacement! All
has gone well - NO pain and I am sleeping
all night! Thanks Dr. Gutske and team!

THE wedding is in 5 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charlie and Brook drove in yesterday
and we are about to BURST with excitement!

On a truly sad note, we got a call and
our long-time friend, George Johnson had
died on Friday! George was the God-father
to our children and loved them to no end!
He will be missed and another connection to
my past has slipped away..........

BUT!!! HOLD ON!!! - BIG NEWS COMING!!!!!!

Another beautiful sunrise at the St. Pete Pier!

Each one is different and exciting! This Saturday had a
subdued sunrise that created a dreamy effect.... I never

Jake is gone...

Lost my buddy Jake a few days ago...
Still hurts too much for words...

Good Morning!

Good Morning All!
1 month after surgery and all is well! Walking,
driving and even got on the motorcycle yesterday!
I want to thank EVERYONE!!!!! The well wishes
and the calls were all very appreciated!
The 1st night party with Linda, Courtney and
Brook at the hospital was the best!
My darling bride Linda is a care giver beyond
description! She did so much so well and kept
up her property too!
My main girl Court - thank you baby! She brought
me lunch every day and toted me to the DR for
my appointments and wherever else I needed to
go!
Once again, I do not have the words worthy to
describe these wonderful people in my life....
