"Don't believe the weather report!"




Tyler our oldest grandson is leaving Wednesday for two weeks. He is going to spend some time with his Marvin Grandparents in Virgina. I know that they will enjoy having him and he will enjoy being there with them. I did a very poor job of taking a picture of him today, he is of the age when cameras are no longer fun time to pose for.
Pat and I decided to take him fishing prior to his leaving for his vacation. I checked the paper for a boating forecast and it looked good. It stated 10 mph winds with a light chop. So all aboard we went and off to the bay we headed. Well much to my surprise it was and extra high tide and the wind was blowing 20+ mph and we had a good chop. This limited our spots to fish, we could not go to our favorite grouper hole. I tried a few places that I knew would be out of the wind. The picture that you see the Sunshine Skyway is called McGills bay. Well a bay it was, but without fish that would bite. We did have a good time as Tyler loves his one on one time with Pat. They listened to Rock music on the boat radio and discussed the songs. Of course Pat knew most of the songs and that tickles Tyler to no end. Pat and Sandy saw quite a few of the bands during the time they were all hot. Me, I just listened to it all, I am a country music kind of guy. It was nice to be with Tyler as he is growing up way too fast. I reminded him of the times when we would take him to Lake Okeechobee and he would sit on my lap and look at a fish book. We would be fishing but he wanted to learn all the names of the fish. I never realized how much I really did enjoy those times.
We hope to take Luke out while Tyler is gone. I hope we catch a better brake on the weather than today.
Be a Blessing to someone today!
Today's verse is .....“As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.”- Psalm 18:30

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 ...
