Just wanted to let everyone know that at home we do not have internet currently due to some problems with the computer. Therefore there is a chance this could be my last post until I return to school on August 10th.

Cathy and William left on Friday night to head home. Jacqueline stayed with us and we will take her back home with us when we head up there to take me back to school. We figured it would do some good to get William and Jacqueline some time away from each other.

Right now I am in Pass Christian, Mississippi visiting my Aunt Claudia and using her computer to make this post. We got here on saturday evening and are leaving to head back home tomorrow. Jacqueline said she doesn't want to go home because she is having to much fun here working on sewing and other crafts with Aunt Claudia. We were going to leave today but I wanted to go down to New Orleans since we are only an hour away. So we spent most of the day down there. I must say that town atleast the French Quarter, where we spent all our time, is way over-rated. It is a dirty and smelly town. They don't really even keep up with the buildings, half of them look like they are going fall over any minute. It is an ok place to visit but I definitly wouldn't want to live there.

Finally the pictures of my dads PT Cruiser and the stuff that he has added on to it. The only things that you can't really see in those to pictures are the dual exhaust, the air intake in the engine and the fire extinguisher inside the car. The guy never posted the pictures on his site like he said he would. So when we went to his little PT Cruiser club get together thing earlier this week one of the guys took some photos of the car and e-mailed them to us.

We have been busy around here with Cathy and the kids being here. We have gone to Animal Kingdom which was pretty cool, post about that later when I have more time and I am not half asleep. Last night we also went to Downtown Disney and to that Dixie Stampede thing with them (also went with Jeralyn and her kids when they came). William and I have also played golf and he broke a window on the 5th hole. We went over to their house and no one was home so we left a note for them to call us and its now several days later and they have yet to call us. On Wednesday we tried to go to the shuttle launch and spent about two hours there before the launch was canceled. So now we just wait and hope they launch before the end of the month so I can go. On Monday we plan to go to Sea World again this time of course with Cathy and the kids. Then either on Tuesday or Wednesday they will leave to head back home.

Been a while since I last posted but that is because I have been lazy when it comes to keeping up with this blog this summer. There is always other things I would rather be doing.

In the last week or so not a whole lot has been going on. My Aunt and Uncle were gone for a about 5 days so we had to watch their dog, Buttons. Buttons slept in my room and other than the first night when she was a little restless, from being homesick sick I guess, she was fine. I have been playing golf quite a bit lately. Though its been pretty rare that we make it through a full round before the rain hits. Sunshine state my ass. Since the last week in May here in Florida it has done nothing but rain basically every day. As a matter of fact it rained on 26 of the 30 days in June here in Orlando. This made June the second wettest June on record for Orlando. So sunshine has been at a premium here lately. But none the less we still try to play a round. Though the last two times we have actually made it though our whole round and I continue to suck at golf but hey its a hell of a lot more fun than sitting around doing nothing. Tomorrow we have a par 3 golf tournament here that me, my father, my uncle and my cousin are all going to be playing in. We will all probably finish near the end of the pack but that is ok.

Cathy and the kids are due in here on the 10th and will be here atleast a week if not longer, depending on how much the weather effects us. They want to go back to the Magic Kingdom and they also want to go to Animal Kingdom as well as one of the other places which I forget. I am debating whether to go back to Charlotte with them when they go back home or to stay here in Orlando. I am leaning towards staying here in Orlando to spend more time with Clancy and to play more golf. If I got to Charlotte all there will be to do is hang around with William and Jacqueline all day at the house. Not that it is a bad thing just that eventually you would get bored pretty quick. I could hang out with Tim and Scott if I went back, but with all their touring with their band they probably won't be around much anyway. Here atleast I get to play golf a few times a week and even when not playing golf we still go do things more often here than I would at Cathy's place.

The guy still hasn't posted the pictures of my dads car yet. Don't know what he is waiting for. There was more I wanted to post about but since I had such a long break between post I have forgotten most of it.
