Re: Gwill and Ben Fun-To-Know

Dad,
Attached is the picture I was working on when you called. It's
for our friends Bill and Gwen Fontenot, who live here on Pensacola Beach.
It's for their 32nd wedding anniversary. We call them the
"Fun-To-Knows". Bill recently sold his construction company for several
million dollars. In this picture, you see their second and current house
on the beach with the "Camp Love" tent in the foreground on the right,
which later blew away. The words are the lyrics to the song "Hurricane"
by Neil Young. Bill said the picture was "awesome" when we gave him a
framed print last night. Gwen is in Carencro LA taking care of her
parents this week.

Jerry's List

(from Andrea)

Jerry stayed with us one evening this week as he recovered from his cataract surgery.  At one point in the evening he and jon spent some time alone on the boat and he shared his list of things he'd like to do yet in his lifetime.  I found the list tonight when we went for a boat ride and thought I'd share.

Fw: THOUGHT FOR THE DAY * Gautama Buddha

Holding onto anger is like grasping onto a hot coal
with the intent of throwing it at someone else.
You are the one who gets burned.
