Book Case "Week"!


























I have been on this reading craze for a while now. I love my books and hate to get rid of them because I may want to read them again. So, what has happened is my old small book case has become too small to hold my books. This week I set out to build a new bookcase and it was completed as of Friday.








The books on the bottom two shelves have been read. The next two and a half selves have not. When I was a young firefighter I used to read Mike Hammer and Shell Scott. I really enjoy murder mysteries as I try to guess "who done i't" before I am through reading it. I mostly read James Patterson (my favorite), John Grisham, Harlan Cobin and Linwood Barclay.








My daughter Sandy has loaned me many books to read also. Patricia Cornwell and Eric Lustbader seems to be her favorites at one time. I am reading a Tom Clancy book right now and I have not gotten in to it yet. I also like Stuart Woods and T. Jefferson Parker. Oh well as you can see I have plenty to read, but I have to stop buying books every time I see them.








We spent Monday and Tuesday night watching Tyler and Luke play soccer this week I will have some pictures to show you on the next Blog.








May GOD BLESS you and keep you safe.

Another "Sun Rise"

26th Street and Manatee Ave West
Coming to Manatee Ave and 26th Street West



Coming into Downtown Bradenton At 15th st and Manatee Ave West



Standing on 59th Street over looking GT Bray Part,



Standing in my front yard looking east.


As you can see we do have some beautiful Sun Rises in our small area of the world. I know that the Beach is known for Sunsets which are nice but we "Arise" to this.


Well it was another sports weekend for the Gallo's as we went to the Manatee game on Friday night. Manatee lost to the number one team in the nation 22 to 16. They made two bad mistakes that cost them their game. But the have nothing to hang their heads for as they played a great game.


Saturday morning Pat and I headed to Gainesville to see the Gator's play Tenn. Florida won their game 33 to 23 but did not play all that well. They better put it together as the month of October will be rough.


We missed our grandsons first soccer games this Saturday. Tyler's team lost 2 - 0 but Doug said he was very proud of the way Tyler played. Tyler has not played soccer for a few years but he did well. Luke played a double header, they lost the first game 7-2 and tied the 2nd 3-3. Doug told me that Luke kicked 4 goals .


I have spent Sunday afternoon working on my new book case. It will be done soon I hope. Pat is taking pictures as it progresses. We will share them when we are done, that will make for a Blog.


God Bless and be a Blessing to someone today.
