Time to Learn a New Sport

My oldest grandson (Tyler) is playing Lacrosse for Manatee HS. It is a club sport for now, we are hoping that it becomes a sanctioned sport soon. This sport is very new to me and Pat as we have never followed it. The one thing I did learn is that it is as rough as football. It may be a little rougher as they have sticks and hit each other with them. They will be playing a lot of games  this year, so I may learn what the rules are all about. Tyler has an aunt that had a scholarship to Lafayette to play and she has helped him. He also has been to a clinic in Virginia a couple of years ago. He seems to really like it so we wish him well. He also is still playing Flag football each week......oh to be young again!

 Below you can see that Tyler is on the move. This game moves very fast at times and you need to be ready to take off.
 Before the game Tyler is preparing to pitch the ball during warm ups.
 Below Tyler is preparing to chase a pitch, he caught it but my camera is not fast enough to get it.
 Below is the best picture as far as I am concerned. Father and son walking together after a game. It does not get any better than that. That is one thing I never experienced as my pop always had to work. They will learn as they grow up just how great is was to have their dad involved with their sports.


 Below you can see Tyler on the move fixing to mix it up with the pack. It was easy for me to follow him, I just followed the red socks it really helped. By the way they played Pinewood or Pineville from Osprey Florida. They tied the game 6 to 6, not bad for the first game.


I will be watching the Super Bowl a little, I don't know who to pull for as there are Gators on both sides.

I hope you have a Blessed Week!

“For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.” -Psalm 33:4-5

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 ...
