Another Lovely Day in Florida




I woke up this morning with good intentions; as usual things don’t work out the way we plan. My intention was to get all my weed eating and edging done today so that I might get my mowing done on Thursday. Now that I am and old “Dude” I try to do it while it is cool and also do it in two phases. I use to go out there in the heat of the day and get it all done in one day, but those days are long gone for me.
Of course I do have a selfish motive in getting it done prior to Friday. Pat and I would love to go over to the lake for the week end of the 4th. But the weather forecast really looks bleak for that plan, we will have to wait and see what happens.
As you can see by the pictures the rain is looming over us. As I am writing this Blog I can hear the rain pelting the roof. I guess it will be another day of gloom, “Don’t ya just love this retired life”? I do, when I think I might be out in it having to work I am pleased not to be.
Some of you folks who are reading this Blog can comment at the end of the Blog. Some have said they can’t figure out how to, just drop and email if you wish. I find that since I have started this that I look forward to doing it every day. I hope that you enjoy reading it and that you get some pleasure out of it. I had my daughter Sandy help me put music on the Blog, I hope you like it.
Be a Blessing to someone today!
Today’s verse of the day is…..“For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.”- Romans 12:3

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 ...
