Bad Luck Day

This what our day should have looked like, Grandson Tyler catching a Gag grouper but it didn't happen.

As I was getting the boat all loaded and ready for a days outing I started thinking, How blessed am I to have two young grandsons who love to fish. The weather report said late afternoon thunder storms and 30% chance of rain. That made for a good day of fishing and fun for us (I thought), little did I know. As we approach the the ramp I noticed a big thunderhead and rain Storm looming off head to the west. Of course that was the direction we were heading. Got the boat in the water and headed out, about 50 yards out my motor over heat alarm went off and the motor shut down. I had just had the motor serviced and that took my breath away. We made it back to the pier and loaded up for home.(no fishing today)
I took it to the dealer that had just serviced it and told him something is wrong. I explained what had happened to it. So now I am waiting for his call to tell what it is. To add insult to the entire scenario as I took the lock off of my boat hitch I gently place it on my bumper with the key still in it. (also two keys to two different lake houses), Yep you guess it, I drove off with them on the bumper and I have back tracked and they are nowhere to be found. So that is my start to day, but that is not as bad as the Gators did last night....No. 17 Southern Miss (40-24) overcame a 6-4 deficit with three runs in the eighth inning to defeat No. 9 Florida (42-22), 7-6, in game two of the NCAA Gainesville Super Regional on Sunday night at McKethan Stadium. With their second-straight win over the Gators, the Golden Eagles punched a ticket to their first-ever NCAA College World Series.

Once a gain I wish my readers a Blessed day:...The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.”- Habakkuk 3:19

He is Growing up too Fast!

Wow, as he ever grown up. and too fast. Seems like yesterday that Tyler was willing and able to sit in our laps. Makes you want to cry.... The picture of the tree will be posted after lunch...sorry. Here is the last look that you get of this Stately Oak Tree. It has been in my back yard since 1985. It has been the support of our grand kids little bodies as they swung in their real early years. Luke still swings on it occasionally but that will end. I am a little sorry about it but reality has set in. This is the tree that hangs over our home and keeps me very busy on the roof during falling leaf season. Also it keeps me trimming limbs that concern me about falling on my roof. And Hurricanes, we won’t go there but it has concerned me when I see the news and pictures of Oak trees that have fallen on homes. It also has been a big help in keeping our home from getting too hot during the summer heat days. But given the fact that I am getting older and also should something happen to me Pat...

WoW... what a weekend!

Pat and I flew to Pittsburgh last Friday to see Manatee play football. we also took in a couple of Pittsburgh baseball games. I can't say much for the Pirates but the Hurricanes were great. We were on the same plane as the team, it was fun. Friday night we were invited to a private box to watch the baseball game. It was a great way to see the game. A lot of food and many friends to visit with. As you can see we also had a big desert cart. I made a mistake and ate a big piece of carrot cake and the next my sugar crashed about noon, but it was worth it. Saturday morning Pat and I walked down to the Rib Fest that was down at the Steelers stadium. They also had a marathon with 6,000 people running in it, yes 6,000. I tried to take some photos of the first people coming into the stadium. I don't think they turned out to well. We met some friends for lunch at Jerome Bettis's sports bar. We went there to watch the Gator game. Really did not have much to watch as they reall...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2012

Merry Christmas to all my friends and family   After what has happened in Newtown, Conn it is with a heavy heart that I enter the new year coming in. I just can not imagine how the parents and families feel, it just breaks my heart.   I sit an wonder what can we do to prevent this from occurring again. I can not come up with any logical ideas other than prayer. We must, must pray that our Lord provides us with a solution. We must pray that our leaders in this country help, some how. We must cuddle our children and grandchildren each day and show the our love and Gods love.   Prayer must be put back in the schools, in some families this may be the only place Gods name will be mentioned. There is no doubt in my mind that the devil is creating these issues. We must pray that all our children and parents let God into their hearts to guide and direct them. Jesus can and will help if we let him into our hearts and lives.   I pray that Gods love will be in ...
