Typical Morning at the Marvins when Maw Maw shows up in the Summertime

The day is just beginning for grandma to get her grand kids going. As you can see Mr. Luke had a Fort built in his parents bedroom for the night. And of course his Buddie, Bear is right by his side, that will change some day as he gets older. Bear will want his own space and will sleep some where else. As you can see they have a neat collection of Hess Trucks. "Guess what" they discovered they did not have the year 2000 (Fire Trk) Well, Darenda ordered the 2000 Hess Fire Trk.

As you can see Tyler starts his day and ends his day with the electronic world. This seems to be the norm for boys his age, I guess it could be worse. Over the past year he has grown like a weed and will be in HS next year at Manatee (3rd generation) I am not sure I can handle that. he is dressed and ready to go to his golf lesson for the day. It has got to be really hot out there, but kids can handle it a lot better then old folks.

As you can see Pat and I receive a Blessing each day with these kids. I hope that you are Blessed today.

Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.” (Ephesians 6:4)

End of the Week (Bird?)

As you can see by the first picture my Gators won last night. They put the finishing touch on the Miami Hurricanes and are headed for the college world series. They will be in Nebraska for the world series sometime on the 26 I think. Last time they were there I went out for the finals once I knew they were in it. I hope to get tickets and take Pat this time, it will be great. I have seen them win a National Championship in Basketball and Football so this would make my list of greats.

This morning prior to church I saw these funny looking birds in my yard. Most of the time there are about ten or so, today just three. As you see they have long beaks and they drive them into the ground. I see that they get long earth worms for their trouble. I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of bird it is. I would love to be able to read a little about them.

Next weekend my daughter Sandy and her husband James will visit us. We are really looking forward to it. We hope to go out in the boat for a little scenic tour of the Sky Way Bridge and etc. It kind of gives you a different perspective of the bridge looking up.

Well I hope that you have had a Blessed day!

“If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” (Luke 11:13)
