Well I just finished watching the Gators lose in the first round of the NCAA tournament. They lost 99-92 in double overtime to BYU. Florida had their chances to win but let it get away from them. Oh well, next up is Gator Baseball and they are doing pretty fair right now. Speaking of BB, tonight we will go see Luke play his BB game. Pat is outside raking leaves right now and I am sitting on my butt. I told her that I was going to pick them up with the mower in the morning but she wants to rake. It is a cool day for working outside. Friday we will go to a Pirates game and maybe see them win, that would be a change. Friday night the Gators BB team will be playing on TV. So you know what I will be doing friday night. Well I better get going and watch some more basketball, life is tough. (for Pat) Take care and be Blessed. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15:13)

These past two weeks have been an emotional roller coaster. I have been to the hospital several times visiting friends and went to a funeral. I have two friends who have had open heart surgery and one more will have it next week. It seems as though I am at the stage of life that these are the happening's of the time. John Cummings had a valve replacement, Harold Floyd had a 5 way-by-pass and Harold Morris will have a valve replacement. Bev Rise a lady whom went to school the same time I did at Manatee passed away yesterday. her daughter is a very good friend on my daughter Darenda. We also got a phone call from Pats sister Annette who informed us that her husbands sister passed away also.. So it has not been all that great of a March this year. On a minor detail I went to the dentist (which I hate to do) with a tooth ache. He told me root canal or pull it out, geeez, I don't have they many teeth to spare. And I hate root canals, so we will see. I am totally surprised that the G...

You just cannot ask for any better weather than this past weekend, it was beautiful. On Saturday morning we went to the park and watched Luke play baseball. Very soon we will have to split time between Tyler playing flag football and Luke playing baseball, but that is what grandparents do. Sunday was a nice quiet day, went to church and then went to lunch at Applebees. After lunch I watched the SEC title game which was a thriller between Ky and Miss St. After the game I read for a couple of hours and relaxed. That night Pat went out with her girlfriends to the Players for a fundraiser type event. I took Tyler to his church program that night and the went and picked him up later. I got to watch a little of the NCAA selection program, I was shocked that Fla made it in. They would have been better off in the NIT, they would last longer. They just don't have that perimeter shooter that they need. Today Pat and I will go to a Pittsburgh spring game, the weather should be great. Pat is a...
