Gators and Fish Win!

The week end went by in a hurry, but it was a really nice week end for us. Weather wise in could not have been nicer.





Saturday morning the kids were playing in the Flag Football playoffs. Tyler’s team won their game but poor Luke’s team lost. I am proud of both of them for being involved in some kind of sports. I don’t think I would like for them to play football in High School, it is too much of a risk. Both boys got medals as you can see by the pictures.






Saturday afternoon was spent in front of my TV watching college football (my favorite). The Gators squeak by anther win over South Carolina. If they intend to play for the Nat’l Championship they better bring it up several notches.
Sunday was church day for us; as usual our preacher had a great message. After church, back in my chair to watch the Dolphins and Bucs play. The Dolphins won it in the last 39 seconds of the game. YEA I am a Fish fan so I love it, poor Bucs…BOO Hoo.



Well the windows showed up today, but no workers. It would be nice if they all got on the same page. I don’t think it will be done as quickly as I thought. “WHAT WAS I THINKING”!



You be a Blessing to someone today and be Blessed.

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 ...

My Friend "Chief" Mark Souders

Image
1955 - 2011 I met Mark over 25 years ago when we both were a lot younger. He was working for Cedar Hammock FD, I was working for the City Of Bradenton FD. At his young age he was passionate about being a firefighter and it showed when ever I talked to him. He moved right up the ladder to the rank of Asst Chief. He was very bright and good at what he set out to do in the fire service. It was not unusual for him to stop by and visit me when I was Chief at Bradenton . He knew that I had a back ground in Fire Safety Codes. When he was Fire Marshal he would stop by and chat and it would soon come to surface what the"stop by" was all about. It would go like this, "hey Chief, what do you think this code really means"? We had some long discussions and we did not always agree, two hard headed men! In 1997 I had the privilege to be sitting on the City Council of Bradenton when we hired Mark as the new chief in our city. I was so proud to cast my vote of approval for such...
