YUM YUM! For those of you whom won't be able to make the MAIN EVENT (wedding @ the Bellagio) Pics will be shared by many of us....I know some of the "family" are looking forward to seeing Cowboy,Chris,Scott and David in TUXEDO'S....yes we'll share pics of us in penguin dress! Enjoy them as most likely won't be happening again any time to soon.....after the wedding we'll all be scattering for a spell....then I'll go to HSV...on DEC 6th.....many of you have my cell number and some of you will be getting additional email soon for a dinner/evening together in HSV....I don't know that I have everyones email addy's nor phone numbers...so when you get an email from me...PLEASE PASS IT ON!
Barnacles RULE......RUCKUS? WHAT RUCKUS?

Updating Info and sharing
Well...there are now (Kwaj time) 39 days and a wake-up before I leave for Vegas to seemy lovely bride and our eldest son ,his wife and the grandchildren.......some events have transpired and Mom/Lexy sent an email out about old Ike(the hurricane) which kinda made the house in Calvert a little uncomfortable as there was no electricity for about 5 days....Mom is now back in Calvert at the moment and preparing to make a road-trip to Huntsville to see David & Sarah ....meet the new doggie they have since Mom will be housesitting the house and dog sitting the 3 dogs while David & Sarah are on their honeymoon.....I've sent the flight info out as to Mom's travel times and arrival and departure times from all the places she'll be arriving and going from.....I/we're very excited about the up-coming family addition (Sarah) and my returning to Texas from Kwaj.
There are a few minor mixed emotions about leaving Kwaj....but the greatest joy in my life is spending time and being with my wife!
So...home I go!
As Mom stated we learned quite a bit while out here in the tropics.....things like you don't need a "lot" of land to have a garden....just LOTS of "containers" whether they be trash cans...5 gallon buckets or true flower pots.....soil some TLC and presto! you can now have vegetables grown for the eating.....
Sometimes I ramble and for this I apologize but as I try to get info and thoughts out I just toss in what is currently cruising through my brain....remember Mom is the organized one!
Other info needing shared is Mr. Neil Dye the DJ Guy from Kwaj will be arriving in Vegas the same day I am and has suggested the possibility of dining w/ the family that evening....I'll be asking our lovely daughter in law DD about the possibility of a nice lasagna dinner for that meal!
DD is a FINE cook.....
There are quite a few folks from Kwaj and other points whom will be making the trek to Vegas for the wedding......looks like a GRAND time will be had by all......
Until we see each other....as my Uncle Bud used to tell Lexy and I... "be good and always remember to be kind to one-another"....
All my Love....

NEWS YOU CAN USE and miscellaneous info
Here we go....just got off the phone with my darling wifey...had a great visit discussing the upcoming family addition (Sarah) and making plans for her/my assorted trips which are coming up quite rapidly....
Mom/Lexy will be flying to Vegas from Lubbock on 18 Oct....I/we don't have "solid" Vegas arrival time yet but should in the next week to 10 days....I arrive in Vegas on Presley's birthday on November 1st....then return to Kwaj for 13 days and PCS/fly out for Texas on December 3rd....overnight in Hono and on to Houston....
Mom/Lexy will fly from Vegas to Huntsville to babysit Apollo & Venus while David & Sarah are on their honeymoon.......I think that date is November 17th....David & Sarah get back on November 27th.....I leave Texas for Huntsville to pick up Mom from David & Sarah's Friday December 5th....we "should be" back on the homeplace in Texas about December 8th....this last little bit is kinda in jello....as all of my "final" arrangements aren't completed but will be VERY soon.....numbers you may need to contact any of us can be obtained by emailing us....I'm not gonna post cell numbers on the internet!
I'm kinda nervous about Tarbaby taking his first plane ride.....but probably not near as upset as he'll actually be! It will be good for us to get home so he can chase mice in Texas....he's a tremendous gecko catcher and has caught one mouse here on Kwaj.....as I'll be sending out an email about the blog being updated please feel free to share the link with anyone you might think needs any of the info here!
Love to all and see y'all soon!

90 days and counting down
Well.....it's official! The choice was made for the replacement supervisor at the plant and it wasn't me. Que sera sera......but to add to the injury....I received my notice to move out of the trailer where Lexy & I have lived for the past "several" years....after all of this...I made a simple decision.....since loyalty apparently does not work and neither does hard work and dedication....I'll just mosey on back to Texas.
I should be beside my wife anyhow!
29 years together and counting!
I gave my 90 day notice to the company as required.....so....go to the wedding in November...come back to Kwaj and 2 weeks later I'll be Texas bound w/ Tarbaby!
I'll add more information as it becomes available to me.....just know everything happens for a reason and I believe this is just the work of the higher power to get me home where I should be with my wife.
Love ya all!
