Quick Week

Sandy and James were able to play tourist for a number of days while they were here. I guess they rally don't play as they are tourist in some fashion. I am not into much of that but on Friday we went to Tarpon Springs and I am glad I went as I enjoyed it. The heat was really showing its mighty strength as it hit 99 degrees. But walking in and out of the air conditioned stores gave us a little break. I found that most of the stores must have imported from the same town in China as there were a lot of the same items in each store.

We did eat in a real nice Greek restaurant by the name of Hellas. The food was very good and I think we all got our bellies full. I ate a sandwich called Souvlaki which had the following items in it on pita bread. The items are as follows, chunks of marinated pork, sliced onions, tomatoes and tzatziki sauce. Pat had chicken fingers on pita bread with lettuce and tomatoes. Sandy and James shared a combination platter which had, Gyro, Mousaka, Pasititiso, Dolmades and tzatziki sauce. Now don't ask me what all that stuff is that was on the platter, but it did look good. And of course a meal would not be complete with out having Baklava. Sandy and James have eaten at many Greek restaurant's and they know what to order and what it is. So, go to her Blog and ask her....ha

Saturday morning we all got up early and Pat made biscuits and I made sausage gravy for the biscuit's and we filled our selves up. Then James and Sandy headed out the door for their trip home, which is Newnan Ga (about 500 mi). Pat and I hated to see them go but as always all good things must come to and end. We did enjoy their stay and we hope they were not too bored with old folks.

Here is a couple of pictures that no trip near the water should be without. I do enjoy taking pictures like this, it is a challenge for me. I saw that the Sea Gull kept showing his tongue so my challenge was to snap it while his tongue was out....Yea Success!

Pat and I have had a Blessed week with our daughter and her husbands visit. We hope that you have been Blessed also this week by friends or family.

'Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.'If you have missed knowing me, you have missed nothing. If you have missed some of my emails, you may have missed a laugh. But, if you have missed knowing my LORD and SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, you

have missed everything in the world.

“Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.” (Leviticus 19:18)

Special Time....Well Spent!

This was a great fathers day treat for me "fishing"! Sandy and James came down for a visit with us and we went fishing on Father's Day. As you can see we had a great time and caught fish. Sandy out fished all of us as she never quit catching. She caught then all, Lady fish, shark and tons of Pig Fish. The rest of us caught Mackerel, Snapper and what ever...

The weather was just great and we all had a good time. We fished from about 7:30 AM until about 1:30. We spent some time under the Sky Way bridge with the strong current and all. We took about 28 pictures but as you can see I showed you just a tad of them.

Prior to Sunday we spent Saturday evening at the Marvins and celebrated an early Fathers day. Darenda cooked some yummy Cajun dishes which was enjoyed by all. She made shrimp Etoufee and Crayfish Pie.

As you can see everyone had a great time even "Bear". The pie was made in honor for my son in law Doug who is the grille master of the family. There was some time spent playing family games and of course wrestling.

I hope every father as great Fathers Day as I did. To be be with your entire family is a real Blessing. I hope that you are Blessed today and every day

“The LORD will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” (Psalm 121:7-8)

Special !!!!!

Four things you can't recover:
The stone........after the throw. The word.........after it's said..
The occasion.........after it's missed. The time...........after it's gone.

Knock, Knock I knocked at heaven's door this morning. God asked me.....'My child, what can I do for you?' And I said, 'Father, please protect and bless the person reading this message.' God smiled and answered...'Request granted'.
