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 would have to deal with it. So in the morning I will say good by ole buddy and thanks”.
We heard a great quote from our grandson Tyler; he said “California has the greatest food, hottest chicks and the coolest beaches”. Sounds like a thirteen year old to me with Hormone’s kicking in. Like I stated yesterday he will be heading home soon and I am sure reality will kick in slowly.
I cannot believe how quickly this summer seems to be moving along. August is on its way and football season right behind it. Pat and I will be married 47 yrs this August. Boy who would have “thunk it”? Pat has really been a Blessing in my life and I thank God for her. Speaking of Blessing’s, you be a blessing to someone today.
Today’s verse of the day is………. “I have chosen the way of truth; I have set my heart on your laws.”- Psalm 119:30

    Hi there, Mr. Gene. We're back from California. It's 9:20 here in Northern Virginia and young Tyler is still sleeping. Jet lag may take awhile...maybe not -- does T ever get really tired ;-)
    We had a nice time in La La Land trying to get Tyler to some of the best tourist spots in the time alloted. I think he enjoyed seeing Aunt Carrie's softball game -- meeting her friends -- the best! Muscle Beach, biking and skating at Venice Beach was really cool for him -- he used the new skateboard in that area as well. Our Warner Brothers tour was pretty cool. He loved the Arcade on Santa Monica Pier, of course.
    Love your blog -- except it spoils my makeup with the watery eyes it can create ! ;-)

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 ...
