Fishing Time











Yea, it was a great week end for Pat and I as the kids were out of school on Friday. As you can see we were able to get the boat in the water and have some fun. The weather man had said that the seas would be flat and very little wind blowing, yea right! You would think that by now I would know better than to believe those jokers. They have all these fancy machines that are perfect, right? For all the old Bradenton folks who remember Charlie Stump we know better. He could look out the window and predict the weather better than that. When we got out in the bay it was blowing 15 mph with small with caps. I put two anchors out so I could catch bait and they did not hold. So no Shiner’s were caught at all, that was ok because I would be unable to go where we normally go because of the weather.
We ended up at Rattlesnake and the kids fished for BIG Pinfish. Tyler also caught a fair size Trout on a Mirror Lure. I think we caught about 17 really big Pinfish and the kids had fun. We saw a 5 foot Bull shark as it we hunting near our boat. I believe as big as the Pinfish were I could have cleaned them and had a good mess of fried fish to eat. Jerry Hill use to tell me that they were really good to eat but I have never tried them.
Friday night we took them to the Manatee High School football game. Manatee played an 8A high school from Broward County. Manatee won 21 – 0. Next week they will play Venice HS which will be a district game
Saturday night Pat and I went to the Gator Watch party at Beef O’ Brady’s. Auburn kicked their butt 17 – 6 enough said!
Have a Blessed day and be a Blessing to someone.
Today's Bible Verse:
“The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them. My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare.” -Psalm 25:14-15

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 ...
