Comments for Monday, November 16, 2009

Good Morning to Everyone,

It is still warm, but we are having a little rain today.  So thankful for the beautiful weather we have been
on the pier this weekend..good to see you.  JT and I were just lazy this weekend and did not do much.  Did go to the
“Birthday Bash” at CYC Saturday night and that was a lot of fun. Forgot my camera..so no pictures.

Thank you to the Marina for taking up the concrete on the pier and putting wood down!!  It looks good and we appreciate it so much.
they are still working on it today..but believe they are almost finished.

Dale Tumey is scheduled to have surgery this Thursday..so everyone please remember he and Carol in your thoughts and prayers. 
We will update the web page after his surgery..which we are trusting that all will be well.  We love and appreciate you two!!

Remember, if you have news or pictures to share on the web…send those to Bob.  We would love to hear from you this winter. 
I usually am just the weather reporter through the winter..so need some exciting news for the web. 

If you have not seen the Christmas lights downtown Grand Rivers..well it is a MUST.  They are beautiful and Do not forget to
attend the Christmas show at the Baggett Theater. 

Everyone have a good week, See  ya soon.

Mayor Pat

Hi Bob and Faye,
We are just north of Demopolis waiting for the storm to pass over. 
We saw Bill and Jerry on the the way down--they flew by and then had dinner later with
them at Midway. Having a great time.  Jan and Mike

 
A Note from Frank and Cindy Staffe

We are going to miss all of you on pier 6 and we were fortunate to make such good friends. We will miss the parties and the morning coffee in front Mayor's boat.. Pier 6 is full of wonderful people, that care about each other and for that each and everyone of you are in our hearts. We will stay in touch and you do the same..  love to all  Cindy & Frank

 
When our dear friend Emory ends the evening as the target of head painting, it should be no surprise he is going to end up the next day with the "over-Served Flag".

Pictures to the right are from the Jerry Terry stroke anniversary  party.  August 26th marked a year of recovering from a stroke that sidelined J.T. for a while. But not for long, he's a tough old bird!


    Hi Bob,

   This is for the what it's worth department (see  picture to the left).  For Father's Day, my son gave a change to drive and actual Indy
   car around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.  Plus we also took a ride in the IRL two seater with an actual IRL driver.  Our guy was   
   Davey Hamilton a veteran of 9 Indy 500's.  Bob, words cannot describe that day.  To actually slide down into an Indy car and take it
   for a spin around that historical speedway is something I will never forget.   I don't know whether you've had a chance to climb into
   an Indy car but if you haven't, you are virtually lying flat.  Picture sitting in your recliner with it fully laid back with your feet straight in
   front of you and then put a pillow under your head and you have it.   In the u-drive portion, they put an Indy driver out in front of you in
   another car to show you the line around the corners.  We were going approximately 120 mph.  In the two seater we reached speeds of
   190 to 200.  The g-forces in the corners are indescribable.  You feel like your brain and is being smashed against the right side of your
   skull.  I have a whole new respect for the Indy drivers.  It is hard to believe that they do that for 500 miles with 32 other cars out there
   with them.

A big congratulations to Charley Moores Grand Daughter Kelsey


Kelsey Moores Finishes 8th

at All-American Soap Box Derby in Akron, Ohio

Kelsey won her first three heats in Akron to advance to the championship round with nine other racers.  She finished third in her fourth heat of the day (championship round).  Kelsey then moved on to face-off against the other two third-place finishers (from the two other heat brackets) for 7th, 8th and 9th place.  Kelsey came in second in this heat to finish 8th overall out of 135 stock division racers.

 
A new game came to Pier Six .  Almost everyone got involved, but it was quite apparent that Pat and Patty were the "Class" of the crowd".

(But then it was their game)
The was a nice cruise on The Jim and Jan Ladd's boat, "Jim 'n' I", over the weekend, but it was quite clear that grand daughter Bailey was the center of attention.
