Another Day in Paradise



As you can our yard is really starting to look great again. Pat and I started working in the yard this morning about 8:15 and worked until lunch time. It was just a beautiful morning and a great day to be in the yard. As you can see the new sod is really taking hold and is looking great. We mowed, edged. weed eated and pulled dead grass from bad areas. I also fix three sprinklers which is staring to be a full time job. When we finished I put out just a little more fertilizer is areas that needed just a shot. Pat and I have always taken pride in our yard and enjoy working in it. as long as our health holds out we will keep the yard man away.


Tonight I am make a pot of Jambalaya, Pat and I enjoy it and i enjoy making it. I thought I would show you some of the ingredients that are used. The most important ingredient is the Chick Stock instead of water. It makes it so rich and tasty you just can't do with out it. On Sunday we have been invited over to my Daughter Darenda home for our Birthday dinner. Mine is Sunday the 18th and Pats is the 21st. Works well we can get it all put away in one shot.


I visited one of my friends that is in Manatee M H. His in our Sunday school class and we have all been praying for him for weeks. he is doing well now and he is what answered Prayer is all about. Well, have a Blessed week end and be a Blessing to some one today. “[Love, for the Day is Near] Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law.”

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.
