Quick Week




Sandy and James were able to play tourist for a number of days while they were here. I guess they rally don't play as they are tourist in some fashion. I am not into much of that but on Friday we went to Tarpon Springs and I am glad I went as I enjoyed it. The heat was really showing its mighty strength as it hit 99 degrees. But walking in and out of the air conditioned stores gave us a little break. I found that most of the stores must have imported from the same town in China as there were a lot of the same items in each store.

We did eat in a real nice Greek restaurant by the name of Hellas. The food was very good and I think we all got our bellies full. I ate a sandwich called Souvlaki which had the following items in it on pita bread. The items are as follows, chunks of marinated pork, sliced onions, tomatoes and tzatziki sauce. Pat had chicken fingers on pita bread with lettuce and tomatoes. Sandy and James shared a combination platter which had, Gyro, Mousaka, Pasititiso, Dolmades and tzatziki sauce. Now don't ask me what all that stuff is that was on the platter, but it did look good. And of course a meal would not be complete with out having Baklava. Sandy and James have eaten at many Greek restaurant's and they know what to order and what it is. So, go to her Blog and ask her....ha

Saturday morning we all got up early and Pat made biscuits and I made sausage gravy for the biscuit's and we filled our selves up. Then James and Sandy headed out the door for their trip home, which is Newnan Ga (about 500 mi). Pat and I hated to see them go but as always all good things must come to and end. We did enjoy their stay and we hope they were not too bored with old folks.

Here is a couple of pictures that no trip near the water should be without. I do enjoy taking pictures like this, it is a challenge for me. I saw that the Sea Gull kept showing his tongue so my challenge was to snap it while his tongue was out....Yea Success!
Pat and I have had a Blessed week with our daughter and her husbands visit. We hope that you have been Blessed also this week by friends or family.

'Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.'If you have missed knowing me, you have missed nothing. If you have missed some of my emails, you may have missed a laugh. But, if you have missed knowing my LORD and SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, you
have missed everything in the world.



“Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.” (Leviticus 19:18)

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 ...
