Trouble in the streets!

The pictures that you see is two houses down from me. It is not a sink hole but it is a rather deep hole. We have a sewer leak in the main line which is 14 foot deep. Today it began to fill back up as the soil began to slide. It became very unsafe for the workers and they were removed from in side. They now have a much bigger pump draining the water. I was told it would take another day to complete the job.

Last night while I was writing on my Blog the power went out. Of course with a battery operated laptop it never slowed me down. when I finished I went out to investigate to see what was up. Neighbors hollered at me and ask if my power was out also. One man wanted to know what I was doing (hooking up my generator) and I show him. He then began to blame the city for digging in the street and he thought caused it. Some times it does not pay for me to be seen in an area with problems, especially in my yard. I explained that the city had left hours ago and if the cause it it would have stared the. He then proceeded to tell me that his cable was out also, can't win. My generator worked perfectly and ran for about an hour. I bought that generator to help if a storm ever got us. I am glad to see that it will work very good.

This is what a drunk sees as he arrives late at night!

These pictures are of a house around the corner from me that cars keep running in to. The house is located at the end of 71th street which comes from Cortez road. On Cortez road there are a few bars for people to get tanked at, do I need to say more. His his has been hit 5 time, out of that the cause is 3 DUI's. I am attempting to resolve the problem with city help. I will take pictures when it is completed.

Have a Blessed day and be Blessed. “that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.” (2 Corinthians 5:19-20)

Getting close to being complete!

Today the carpet was installed in out room, and it looks really nice. Pat has put some of the things back in the room but is not completely finished as you can see. We will be hanging some pictures and we have one more piece of furniture to put in. It is will be my job to clean it up and get it painted. I will try to get it done this week or this weekend.

I was able to get the stitches out of my finger so I have no more excuses left. I think in my mind I milked this cut and I mean cut (minor) as long as I can. Even I will start laughing pretty soon when I look at it.

I have found out that my Grandson Luke is doing a paper about his family and where they came from. I was able to find some pictures of where my father was born. So I am sharing them with you along with a picture of him when he was in his twenties.

I have read that a lot of Gator’s are jumping ship and going into the NFL draft. You can’t blame them as the money is too much to turn down. I am sure that the Gators will have a new look next year with them all leaving. Tonight the basketball team will play number 2 Kentucky. The Gators have 4 losses and will have 5 after tonight. They are a young team who cannot shoot from the perimeter consistently and they are weak in the paint.

Pat has made some Chili for supper tonight so I better log off. It is getting close to supper time and I don’t want to be late.

You be Blessed today and be a Blessing to someone.
“[Sons of God] You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:26-28)

Cold-Cold

This has been an interesting week end for Pat and I. Seems as though our room will be finishing up this Tuesday with the installation of the carpet. And now, well now it seems that our AC unit is leaving us. Yesterday it froze up on the heat cycle and did not work, so last night we slept without heat. It really was not all that bad as it only was 61 in the house. That really made for great sleeping conditions. Today Pat and I loaded up with fire wood and hand split some oak. We are now prepared for whatever comes our way. Tonight is supposed to be even colder than last night. The pictures that you see were taken about 50 miles north of us.

Next surprise is that I think we have to replace our garage opener, the whole enchilada. Looking at it I think that maybe Pat and I together can do it. Looking back now maybe Pat and I should have taken one more shot at having a boy. Think he would be offering to help if he existed?

This picture is a framed statement of facts given to me by my daughter Sandy. I now say to my Tenn, FSU and LSU friends, read this and get prepared.

Have a great day and be Blessed and be a Blessing to someone.
