The days turn into weeks, turn into months, turn into years, and just seem to fly by just when we think, “Gosh, I have all the time in the world.” Well, it’s about time we all get moving and enjoy what is around us ~ take a walk on the beach, a stroll through the park, a quiet walk down memory lane, or why not just fly a kite and DREAM! Nostalgic? Yes, it’s true, and I bet each of us do that from time to time. Anything wrong with that? I say no. It’s a way of staying sane in a world that is absolutely flying by around us. So join in. As I sit here at my desk, its going on 5:00 p.m. Central Time, I wonder - what else can we do to let you know just how much we care about this drilling industry and all those in it? For the life of me, I just don’t know. This WWDR Team works so very hard each and every day, and sometimes half the night for ways to help you. So, I pose that question to you here and ask for your help in answering it. What else can we do? Accept NO imitations - there is only one true RESOURCE. 850-547-0102 One more very important thing ~ I so value everyone out there in “drilling land” for dropping me personal notes. Mrs. Lepley, yours commenting on July’s Ronnie’s Real World , touched my heart. I know it was hard to say and filled with emotions. May your husband Bob rest in peace, and your son, Joe find you. I sincerely thank you. God Bless You and Keep You Safe. Yes, the things (people) we take for granted, believing they will be there forever. How quickly they aren’t. We Will See you on the trail!
