Paw Paw Messed up!

This is the picture that my daughter Darenda sent me via email. The email stated, "the little slugger went 2 for 2 and scored both times as they won their first game, and was presented the game ball. Well you see that may not be big news for all you big baseball fans, but for me it was great. The sad thing for me is that I opted to go play cards with some buddies and I missed his game for the first time. Man, did I mess up I should be horse whipped for that. Any way I am sure proud of him and I know he will do it again.

Today I will be going to the Pirates game with Pat. The season is winding down and I know Pat will miss it as she loves to go to the games. As for for me I really don't get to excited with pro ball. It is nice to see people that you know and you only see them during spring ball.

Yesterday I went to Jack Smiths funeral, Jack was a friend and coach at Manatee HS school. We will all miss his smiling face and cheers for his Gators. Pat and I are going to another funeral on Saturday morning in Jacksonville. It seems that we are going to funerals too often now and it is a little depressing. But, that is the stage of life that we and our friends are.

Take care and be Blessed and be Blessing to someone today.


“Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.” (James 1:12

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...

Now it Starts

Here are some pictures of our room that is going to be demolished. As you can see we have cleaned out the inside from what I showed you a week ago on the Blog. Today I began doing some the work that the contractor would have done. I guess I cannot keep my hands off of anything, I have to be involved. The boards that you see that I removed are braces. I put them on several years ago when a hurricane was looking at Bradenton. I have plywood cut out for that room and the braces were there so that the wood could be applied. They have to come off because they would hinder the contractor from removing the windows. I will not need then anymore because I am installing hurricane impact windows in the new room. The contractor, Mark Wolfe showed up today to meet with some block layers for them to give him a bid. He dug around the foundation to be sure that the room had a footer, which it does. The only area that I am concerned about is the roof. When we tear the ceiling down we will find...

Good Friday 2020

Dear Pat, I love you and miss you very much. This terrible virus that is all over this world s taking many lives. I have been home for 28 days now and it is not very much fun. Doug and Tyler are still having to go to work. School has been shut down state wide so Luke is staying home also. As God would have it Darenda changing jobs was a great move, she gets to work from home. Tyler is staying out on the Island in the Marvin's condo by his self. I don't know when this mess will be over, I just pray that no one in our family gets sick. Take care Darling and enjoy Easter in Heaven with all the angels.
