WE NOW HAVE A NEW FRONT DOOR



Well yesterday the construction crew put our new front door on, we don't have a screen door on it yet but from what understand it won't be to long before we have a new screen door as well. If you had a key to our old door it is now useless. Tonight in Colonial Heights the Boys Invitational Baseball Tournament starts, this year will mark the 50 anniversary for the BIB. Colonial Heights has two team in the tournament, they are the CH Quarterback Club & the CH Optimist Club and the play on Friday & Saturday. For some reason my left foot is hurting this morning so my AIP has been elevated a bit. Here are few lines that I found for the opening week of college football, Va Tech-24 over East Carolina, Virginia-4.5 over Wyoming and Georgia-7 over Oklahoma State. Theses odds are for entertainment purposes only and I don't know how UVA is favored at Wyoming a team which beat them last year. MICKEY

Progress on room slowed down because the floor tiles came in broken and had to reorder. It takes three days for the floor to be put down. Maybe they will paint today.
