Getting close to being complete!













Today the carpet was installed in out room, and it looks really nice. Pat has put some of the things back in the room but is not completely finished as you can see. We will be hanging some pictures and we have one more piece of furniture to put in. It is will be my job to clean it up and get it painted. I will try to get it done this week or this weekend.




I was able to get the stitches out of my finger so I have no more excuses left. I think in my mind I milked this cut and I mean cut (minor) as long as I can. Even I will start laughing pretty soon when I look at it.




I have found out that my Grandson Luke is doing a paper about his family and where they came from. I was able to find some pictures of where my father was born. So I am sharing them with you along with a picture of him when he was in his twenties.




I have read that a lot of Gator’s are jumping ship and going into the NFL draft. You can’t blame them as the money is too much to turn down. I am sure that the Gators will have a new look next year with them all leaving. Tonight the basketball team will play number 2 Kentucky. The Gators have 4 losses and will have 5 after tonight. They are a young team who cannot shoot from the perimeter consistently and they are weak in the paint.


Pat has made some Chili for supper tonight so I better log off. It is getting close to supper time and I don’t want to be late.




You be Blessed today and be a Blessing to someone.
“[Sons of God] You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:26-28)

    Mr. Gallo,
    Hey there "Dad"..It's Jennifer Sklerov. I just spent an hour or so reading your blog. I only got back to Aug. and the trip to Cracker Barrel, but I must say, you guys live an active and interesting life! The room addiotn looks great. What inspired it? I want you to do me a favor. Please tell Mrs. Gallo "Thank You" for the last 20 something yrs. of faithful cards in the mail. I cherish every one of them. She is so selfless to think of EVERYONE! I am feeling guilty that I've never swung by to see you in the times we've come home to Bradenton. We only come every other yr or so, but next time I want to come over. You were such an influence on me in my teen yrs (not sure if you knew that). Pretty much were the father figure I needed. Tell the Marvins hello for me. We never seem to keep in very good touch. My email is: jjkalt@hotmail.com...please drop me a note so I know you got this. Love you and God Bless!

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 ...
