Long Week





Pat and I had a long week this past week, Saturday was the first night we had to stay home and rest.

Thursday night we went to a 100 Club dinner. This club helps and honors all law enforcement officers in Manatee County. One night a year we select the officer of the year. This year we selected a city of Bradenton officer, which was nice. Friday night we went the Manatee Players with Bob and Sue Sweat. We saw Gypsy which I thought was not one of their best productions.





Saturday was a torrid schedule for Pat. Her day started out with going to Robinson Preserve with the Gator Club for a cleanup day project. She left there in time to go see Tyler play football. The picture you see is Tyler fixing to catch his first Td pass. He normally is involved in mostly defensive plays. This was a playoff game and they change things up a little. Great pair of hands “look out Manatee HS here come Tyler”. Of course I missed it as I was at the 100 club cook out. Once a year we also cook steaks and chicken for all the officers and their families. We cooked and served about 600 meals and I was worn out when I got home. The picture of Luke is him receiving his end of the year trophy for baseball. He had an outstanding year, he received the game ball twice during the season. We were all real proud of him and the year ended with them in the playyoffs.



Sunday we were invited over to Doug and Darenda’s home for supper. Doug’s parents were there and we had a nice visit and meal. Stone Crab claws, Shrimp and all the making’s was the menu. Mr. Tyler helped his dad crack the stone crab claws for all of us, which made is great.
I hope you can make sense out of all the photos. Just put your thoughts with the picture and some of my comments.

Gators took three games from Georgia and now play SC next week. That week end will seal it up for the Eastern division championship. “Go Gators”!
Have a great day and be Blessed today and be a Blessing to someone.
Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!” (Romans 11:33)

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 ...
