Pops! Market

Hey B,

I talked with your daddy today and kind of got caught up on my little buddy. I heard you in the background really talking. I heard yo say "mooo" for the cow and "arff" for the dog. It really made pops feel good just to hear you.

Daddy said that you had a good check up at the doctor. He said the doctor said that you were doing great. I could have told daddy that!!!! You're perfect!!! I sure do miss you my little buddy.
Pops! has been really busy at work and pops! is even working on starting a business in Birmingham called "Pops! Market". I guess you could say that my little buddy has been my inspiration. I want to have a fresh produce and food market in a local community of Birmingham. In my market I will have a wall dedicated to the pictures of ALL my little buddies, but yours will be at the center. Hopefully all our customers will bring pictures of their kids in to put on the wall. Nothing for sure-still in the thinking stage. But I already have this dream of my little buddy coming to spend time with pops! and Jadda every summer and my little buddy will get up and go to work with pops! at the market. Of course that will be on the weekend because I have my regular job. But I'd love to teach my little buddy "how to sell". At your age, you just smile and say please. If I did that at my age, they'd put me away.

Enough for now. And remember.....

pops! loves you

Hey B,


Happy Birthday!!!! I can't believe that it has been a year. Jadda commented this morning that the time has really flown by this past year. It usually does that when you get old like me. I sure wish that I could be there for the FIRST birthday party but maybe next year. I hope that you have had a great first birthday.

I really miss you. I think about you all the time and can't wait until I see you at Christmas. Have you seen much of Uncle Wookie. I talk to him some and he REALLY likes California. If I was there with you I'd like California too.


I thought I'd include some pictures from your trip to Birmingham.

"Pops! don't tell daddy but I peed in the water."

"Jadda, pops! says you drive like an old woman. You don't. do you?"

"Yep, she drives like an old woman but I love her anyway."

"Hey Jadda, who is that good lookin' blonde daddy is staring at?"

"Jadda, you have the coolest feet. Pops! feet stink but yours aren't so bad."

"Yo, dis is me and da Godfather. Ya betta watch out."

"C'mon Daddy, I KNOW this thing isn't real. But for you I'll do it."

"Am I cute or what?"

That's all for now. Happy Birthday!!! And remember....

pops! loves you

Jadda and the Lemon Wafer

Hey B,

I sure hope that you had a good trip home and that you took it easy on daddy on the trip. I sure miss my little buddy. I thought I'd send you some of my favorite pictures of my glorious 3 1/2 weeks with you.

"Man, I love this horse Jadda got me."

"This is good but how about some of that lemon wafer stuff. I won't tell."

"Hey pops!, is it time for our walk yet."

"Pops! please give me some of Jadda's lemon wafer. I won't tell Daddy."


"Jadda, don't look so guilty-it was just a lemon wafer."

" I'm glad I didn't get my rhythm from pops!"

"Hey pops!, catch this."

Hey Jadda, that lemon wafer you weren't supposed to give me was GREAT!!!

I guess that's all for now, but remember....

pops! loves you
