One More Addition to the room

Well we have added one more item to our room, little by little we are getting there. I think the only things left are some pictures and etc to be hung on the walls. It has really made a real nice room and I hope that when the summer comes it will be cool. that was the main reason we did all of this in the first place. As you remember we removed our oak tree and the shade was gone, so was the cool room.

Pat and I had a nice week end with not a whole lot going on. We did not go to our Sunday School party, things just did not work out. We opted for a night out with dinner and a movie. Well now that sounds pretty fancy doesn't it? With this family it was supper at Chic Fillet at the mall and the movie was the $2 senior. Ha, last of the big spenders, I leave no rock unturned when it comes to treating my bride.

Saturday we hung the drapes and the did very little the rest of the day. That night we had the kids and Pat spent much of her time with them. I watched the Gator basketball game and finished a book that I have been reading.

Sunday we went to church and then out to lunch with the Newsomes. Got home in time to see the Gator girls play basketball and then watch the NFL playoffs. I think we watch too much TV but what the hey. I spent some time on the Gator web site for Manatee County, as I do the site for the club. My handy work can be seen at www.manateegatorclub.com. I really enjoy doing it as it keeps my mind doing something. At my age that seems to be important, I think!

You will noticed a link on the left side of the Blog. It says click here for the 60's. Judi Marvin who is my daughter Darenda's mother in law sent that to me. I think it is really neat, click on it and sit back and relax.

That is all for today, be Blessed and be a Blessing to someone today. “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” (Philippians 4:8)

    Hi, Gene. Read your recent entry. Glad you enjoyed the "60's" Email message I sent. You could have at least said, that I was entirely too young to even know what this decade was about !! ;-)
    Have a good week! Judi Marvin

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 ...
