Rain, Rain Go Away!






Well I know I told you guys that I was going
fishing with my grandsons at Lake “O”. But as you can see the weather is really not all that great. It is 8:40 in the morning and my garage lights are still on (photo cell). The sky is really gloomy and has been raining off and on. Looking at the potential bad weather at the Lake Pat and I decided not to chance it.




As you can see we had a little vandalism in the neighborhood last night. There were several mail boxes that looked like this one found. Also they took up a flashing warning sign and moved it away from where it was warning people. The irony of this is that we have just formed a rather large neighborhood watch program. We have signs all over the place (including my yard) that “we are watching”. Until we did that I cannot remember any problems like that, I guess it is a challenge to kids, oh well..

Yesterday morning at our classmate’s breakfast we had 11 old farts there. As usual it was a great time for all of us. I wish we could get more guys to come as there are many who live here. But we will enjoy who does come and we will talk about those who don’t (ha) I understand that the girls who meet the same day for lunch also had a real nice group. It is hard to fathom but I have to describe them as a bunch of sweet old ladies ha ha…

It is time to get on with whatever I am going to do today. I have already been to the lab and had my blood work done so now I am free. I know tonight we are going to a Sunday school dinner at the home of Keith Clark. So I guess I will have to be on my best behavior or Pat will whomp me! Whomp is short for “whip my bu..”

Please be Blessed today and be a Blessing to someone!
Our hearts are heavy for those affected by the earthquake in Haiti, as well as the families who are dealing with the devastation from afar. It is our prayer that sufficient aid is given to Haiti as they recover and that the hearts of those who have lost loved ones find healing through a relationship with Jesus Christ.




.“[Ask, Seek, Knock] "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7-8)

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 ...
