Falling Behind

























































































































Well I have fallen behind on some of my Blogging, I guess I am getting lazy. The pictures above will start out with some basketball pictures of Luke in the Island league. His team did not win a single game during the regular season. His team had a lot of players including him which were 1st timers this year. Also they might have been the smallest team out there.




Buy they did finally win a game, guess what it was the first game of the playoffs. They played a great defensive game and scored enough to win as you can see on the scoreboard. That entitled them to play in the championship game, which they lost. That team had not lost a regular season game, they were well stacked with seasoned players. Luke was selected as an All star and got to play in the All star game which his team won. I am sure Luke will be back next year and he will be one of the seasoned players, we were very proud of his play




The next set of pictures is from the next week, actually this Monday. I had been out of town, I went fishing at Lake Okeechobee with some retired fireman friends of mine. As you can see there are no pictures as the fishing was not all that great. We caught a lot of bass but they were all very small.





Pat asked me if we could take the kids fishing on Monday which we did. You can see by the pictures that we caught a lot of fish. Tyler caught a nice grouper, black sea bass and a fish that is unknown to me.(black spot on tail) Maybe someonen will see it and tell me what the heck it was. Pat caught oyster fish and the rest of us caught Black Tipped Sharks, about 15 in all. Of course Tyler caught the most and the biggest. One of the pictures show a shark that fell off the hook and lannded on the deck. When he did I hollered "watch out they bite". What you can't see is my grandson Luke.....His eyes got as big as golf balls and he jumped onto the lounge chair over the captains steering wheel into the chair. I have never seen him move so fast, last night while I was trying to go to sleep I thought about it and laughed until it hurt.




Well that's about it for now, so have a Blessed day and be a Blessing to someone.

    I'm glad you're back blogging. I don't always comment, but I check at least 2 times/week to see what's new w/Gallos/Marvins. Boy I wish you had that boat when we were kids. I've always wanted to learn how to fish.

    Great news...yesterday I got my acceptance letter to graduate school!! I will soon be a school social worker with spec. ed. kids and then take on private clients in the evenings and weekends after I'm completely licensed to do so. There is a real need for counsellors who really understand what goes on in spec. needs families. I have been hard pressed to find good help for my family over the last 12 yrs. Wish me luck! I just may go for a doctorate after that!!! Hello to Darenda and whole familiy...xxooxx Jen

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 ...
