Summer Conference

Summer Conference in Florida is great. Swimming, cable TV, friends, the beach....
I am so tired of the car! Stuck in there for six days. But it was cool to see all the different stuff by the highway(s). In Baton Rouge, we ate dinner and spent most of the evening at the Burgers', the LSU campus minister. The boys got live crawfish in a bag. I picked one up. Mr. Burger boiled them and the grownups had crawfish for dinner. The kids had hamburgers. In Alabama there was a long underwater tunnel. It was cool. The third full day in Florida the Beach Builder came. She messed up the beach. After the dredging was done, you could go out for a long way in the water and have the water be waist height. We went to see friends in Panama City. Mrs. Gibbs was me and Cal's
P.E. teacher. Alex and Austin were in our class. On our way home we stopped by the U.S.S. Alabama and took a tour. Dad took pictures. We got back Monday afternoon. YAY!!!!!!! Back at the yellow house in Norman, OK, America, Earth, the Universe.

The irony is overwhelming - You had Burgers with the Burgers. Do you see the irony? Ham-Burgers with a family called the Burgers! Two Burgers! Two meanings!! It is absolutely outrageous???!!! Exclamation point??????

Ruth,
I like the pictures. Add more of these. And weren't you writing a story a while ago? When is it going to continue?

Looking forward to seeing you in a week.

Ruth,
You are turning into such a good writer! I love the picture of you holding a crawfish thingy. Genna and I recently found a frog, and we touched it but did not hold it.
The picture of you and your family in front of the ship is amazing.
See you soon!
