"Tribute to Heros"




Friday afternoon I attended a luncheon honors our Public Service hero's, Fireman, Military and EMS workers. We watched videos of past 911 events and some videos of the event itself. I will never forget that day when our country was attacked. The lives of everyone US citizens was changed in some way. I hope that we have also proved that if you mess with us we will stand tall and react. "God Bless America"!


As you can see my book case runnith over, I will be building a new and bigger one to replace it with. I really enjoy my reading, I am a big fan of James Patterson, John Grisham, Harlan Cobin and Linwood Barclay. They are my favorite authors that I read,

About the only things that are going on are Manatee and Florida football. The kids will be starting soccer soon and that will be great. I hope it cools off a little before it starts.

As you also can see I like to watch weird birds and this bird is one that I watch as he catches lizards and eats them. I wish I could move my neck the way he does, I would never miss anything ha ha.

For some reason I can no longer answer any comments on my Blog nor can I make comments on anyone else's. I have asked questions to Google and what ever they say does not work. So if you leave a comment and I don't respond don't feel bad I do read them.

Take care and have a Blessed day and be Blessed.

“Suffering for Doing Good] Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.” -1 Peter 3:8

    Me again....Well glad to see you're still blogging! I'm in week 3 of grad school. OMG!!! I have so much respect for Master's recipients now. It is very intense. I have 5 classes each with tons of journal article reviews, at least 2 major papers in each, weekly homework assignments, group projects, interviews I must do with local policy makers, research, and about 75 pages of textbook reading a night to keep up! Oh yea...and then there's those 3 kids and the dishes in my sink and pile full of laundry :) I thrive on "proving myself wrong" though, so since at the moment I DON'T think I can do it, I plan of proving myself wrong.

    My field placement (or internship) is with an organization that reintroduces and reintegrates foster kids who have been court mandated out of their homes BACK into their homes. We supervise the visits as they ease back into being a "family unit". All I've done so far is screenings and orientation stuff. I haven't gone into any client's homes yet. I'm pretty nervous, because I know I'll want to scoop up all the kids and bring them home with me. I've been told to "put on my social worker hat" and separate my feeling from the job. Really??? We'll see how it goes....I'll keep you posted.
    Love to all down there...xxooxxoo

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 ...
