"Well" It's about time !

Yes I know I have not been writing my Blog like I should have. I could give you some excuses but they would not be the truth. It has been a combination of not feeling like it and being on vacation and of course being ever so busy at City Hall....talk about stretching the truth...ha



CAPT GLENN DAVIS


This has really been a bad year for some of my friends in the fire service. We lost our Fire Chief here in Bradenton in January. I went to his memorial service at the Florida Fire Chiefs meeting in July. There were also three more chiefs that I know that had passed away also. And then here locally we have lost two men that I worked with for years. Capt Glenn Davis who past away last month. Then I read in the paper that Bill Juregens who I went to high school with and also worked with him on the FD past away, he live in Tenn.






Pat and I went off for a little vacation in the mountains. We visited with Gary and Harriett Gregory in NC. We had a nice time as we always do when we are with them. I tried playing a little golf, first time in three years and it showed. I wished I could show you a lot of pictures but I can't. I did take some of a humming bird but it did not turn out all that great.






We left there and went to visit our daughter Sandy and hubby James. We spent labor day week end with them and had a good time. We played cards and watch football (what else) and we went to an auction in Loganville Ga. That was really neat, I had never been to one and it was cool to see all that money being spent. There is no economic problems at that location!






The Gators won there first game 41 - 3 but they did not play anyone either. Manatee went up to Onley Md and got cheated and lost the game. My grand kids will start outdoor soccer soon so I will have plenty to write about.






Anyway, nice chatting with my few readers and I hope to continue with some nice Blogs.






Have a Blessed day and be Blessed.

    Well....I was very worried. Logging on and reading your blog is part of my weekly routine, I'll have you know! Glad you are ok and had a nice trip. I am in week 2 of grad school, and BOY is it hard. I am so out of touch with what college life is like these days. You need a course just in how to navigate all of the computer software programs they use. All papers are uploaded online, etc. I may be in over my head. I have 5 full time classes (all crammed into 2 days) and a field practicum 3 days a week in community mental health..oh joy! Plus my 3 crazies at home. You can come visit me when they commit me to the hospital by Christmas. Hello to Mom G. Keep Blogging......

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 ...
