Great Weekend


The weekend has flown by without any incidents for the Gallo family, which is good. We went to GT Bray field and watched our grandsons play flag football early Saturday morning. Doug & Judi Marvin (other grandparents) was there also. I think that they really enjoyed watching them play.





























Pat and I also attended the Vanderbilt – Gator game over the weekend. Florida still is not playing all that well but they are still winning. They will play Alabama in Atlanta for the SEC championship. The winner of that game will surely play for the National Championship in the Rose Bowl.

As you can see the room is coming along very well at this time. Today we are waiting for and inspection so we can continue on. Pat will be glad when it is over; she seems to worry about every little thing going on. I don’t imagine us ever doing any major remodeling with our house. I overheard her telling someone over the phone, she wants new carpet in the bedrooms but not wanting to go through the hassle.










I have been watching the new storm “Ida” churning in the Gulf. I am sure when it hits land on Tuesday that it will be just a big rain storm. Seems awful late foe storms in the Gulf, the waters have cooled by now. I wanted to go fishing Wednesday but I am concerned about the weather.
Tonight is another meeting night for Pat and me. Our neighborhood is starting a “Neighborhood Watch program”. There will be one more meeting after this one and then we are done. Always seems like something is going on with us. Tuesday night is Manatee Hurricane radio show night. Wednesday will be that last neighborhood meeting night. Thursday will be a fundraiser for Bill Galvano who is running for State Senator in two years.
Today’s verse is: “Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.”- Isaiah 1:18

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 ...
