Over cast Day!


Not much going on today as it is an over cast dreary day. City Hall today was….”City Hall, not much going on. We have set a meeting for some final budget discussions for next week. Our Police Chief is trying to supply us with information about how short we are on Police officers. The graphs and studies are all great, but fall short of telling you how to pay for them. It does not take a genius to figure out how,,,Raise Taxes. Our Police and Fire cost us more then we take in property taxes now. I am sure that the public would love to have more police, but if they got a tax bill that was increased by $100 they would flip. I am not sure that problems can be solved with more police. The judicial system must be stronger and quit letting crooks go. Drug dealers and users, yes users must be dealt with more sternly. Oh well enough of that stuff!!!
Tonight Pat and I will be going to a meeting wrapping up our Gator Fundraiser project. We will be helping to make baskets and cut out name tags and etc. Then on Saturday night the party will be fun and I hope we make some good money. It all goes towards a Scholarship Fund that we do locally.” Gotta” go cook some good food…Jambalaya!
Take care and have a Blessed day and be a Blessing to someone today. Today’s verse is “You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.”- Isaiah 26:3

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 ...
