I WENT TO ELIZABETH CITY, THEY WENT TO THE BEACH

Well yesterday I took a day from going to the beach and went to Elizabeth City to visit Lamberson I go out to lunch with him. We at lunch at a sandwich shop in downtown EC & then he game me the grand tour of the city. All I know is that the have 3 different route 17's in the city which could be quite confusing to someone who doesn't know where they are going, I didn't have any trouble finding his house though. I was good trip. Everybody else down here went to the beach except dad, I think i have been to the beach more than he has this year which is very unusual. Al cooked steaks on the grill last night, Keith you should have said you wanted steaks when you were here. Leeza has been a bit under the weather the last few days, however she did look like she was feeling better last night after we gave her some steak, but she is still not up to speed. We also made our 1st trip down to Wal-Mart last night & few people picked up some things, we didn't have any close call on trip like we had the night before when we were almost hit while siting still by someone not paying attention. I wish I could say my ear was doing better but I have to say it's not any better or worst, it is very aggravating to have this problem while on vacation. The CH Appomattox League baseball team will be back in action tonight against Hopewell, we are currently on a 4 game winning streak. I don't know what we are having for supper tonight & has the governor pulled Marks internet access again. MICKEY

Smile, for everyone lacks self-confidence and more than any other one thing a smile reassures them. -- Andre Maurois

Got a headache? Studies show that the leading cause of headaches is dehydration! So next time you get a headache, don't reach for the pills. Drink a couple glasses of plain water and see how you feel.

Crocodiles and alligators are surprisingly fast on land. Although they are rapid, they are not agile; so if you ever find yourself chased by one, run in a zigzag line. You'll lose him or her every time.

DID YOU KNOW The body primarily uses fat and carbs for fuel. A small amount of protein is used during exercise, but it's mainly used to repair the muscles after exercise.
