Adrian called Kimball after her doctor’s appointment Tuesday. Dr, Boudreaux told her she thinks it may be a December baby. She originally predicted Nov. 28. Just as long as he and his momma are healthy. -I discovered this week that I am exactly half bright. That may be the first time that I got that

We held our breath while Hurricane Nate was a loose cannon in the Gulf. Adrian and Cain live in Baton Rouge. We finally knew Saturday evening that Nate was going to go east of them. Adrian said they got rain during the day Saturday but not from the hurricane. It’s about 50 days until Baby

Somebody please shake the clock to see if it is stuck in overdrive. We’re already talking about the first football game Aug.18. There’s a midnight scrimmage Friday night so you can get a free peek at the 2017 squad in action. Remember when we were kids and the summer, while too short, seemed to go
