Bama Week End


























































































































I am so sorry for my few followers that I have not blogged lately. I came back from Alabama with a chest cold and at my age it whips ya!
Yes, we went to Tuscaloosa to watch Fla and Bama play football. The weather was just beautiful at game time and made for a nice night. Bama did what I had expected, they kicked the Gators butt.

This was Luke's first Bama football game and Tyler's 2nd. I must say that they were really troopers. Tyler went early with his dad and Brian to set up the tail gate stuff. I think they left about 6 or 6:30 am that morning. This was for a 7 PM football game which made for a long day for them. But Tyler will suffer pain and sweat to do things with his dad, which is great. They both did very well staying with the crowd all day. Doug and Darenda had some friends come by and visit them which was great. The people that I know well were Brian and Sherrie and Kim and John. Kim and her family came over for the tail gate party from Jackson Miss. They did not have tickets just came to visit, such a special bond!

I would like to show you many pictures that I took during the party. But during the game I pressed the wrong button and deleted 45 pictures. geeeeeeez how dumb! So the pictures that you will see are mostly pictures that Tyler took and he did a real nice job. I will let the pictures speak for them selves.


The trip after the game back to the hotel was terrible, no traffic pattern was available for a quick exit. We made it back about 2:45 am and all were totally whipped. Doug made a comment that this was his last game here and I agree no more for me either.


I would like to write some more but I still feel cruddy and I will quit for now. I did meet a special person that I will do a Blog about later. It will be kept a secrete until I do it, but I am excited about it.

Take care and have a Blessed day.


"I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed— I, and not some foreign god among you. You are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "that I am God.” (Isaiah 43:11-12)

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...

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 ...
