Well, I did it again, I have procrastinated and haven’t written my  blog for a few days so it is catch up time again.

I am at work and I don’t have a lot of time before going home (actually this is Saturday).

Let me see, I know what I have to do tonight, I am trying to remember if I worked today or not and I think that I took the day off.  Grant is going to mow the RV Park and I will do the mobile home park.  I think it may be a good choice to do it this way, it is raining!  I may end up doing part of the RV Park tomorrow.

Well, tonight I lead the class on the “Seed Principle”, not sure I am ready to do this but hey what do I have to lose?  The only ones that will be there are the Pastor, assistant Pastor and a few deacons, why should I worry about that???

Actually, the study, after we got going, went quite well.  We decided that doing two lessons per night just didn’t get it.  We did make it through one chapter and we were supposed to do two plus a finishing chapter, way to much for one night. In fact, we went about fifteen minutes over just to get the one chapter done and the study that will come after this will be one chapter per meeting or what ever we happen to get done.

I know I have a picture… Lets see what I have….

OK, this is Bud the neighborhood dog.  I usually feed him in this basin and I guess he likes it, he has his foot in it so it won’t go anywhere.  Quite the dog.

Well, I have to get out of here because I have to finish up work.  Night Y’all….

I guess I have made a little mistake in the postings, I have posted some before the others, or maybe it is the other way around, oh well, I am sorry but I do get things mixed up sometimes.

I went to work today and dumped the trash, sprayed Round Up and did a little weed whacking.  I worked until noon and then went home.  Grant and I will change days for mowing, he will mow tomorrow and I will mow Thursday.  We just changed days and it will make things easier for the both of us.  I won’t have to move the picnic tables as long as he gets it done.

This afternoon we went to Cape to Wal Mart and I picked up a couple of cards for my “Hot Spot”.  Can’t get them at Sikeston, they don’t sell them.

We also stopped at the airport to see about the seating arrangements for the airshow and we are OK. There is no special seating.  We bought tickets for Don and Cheryl after we bought ours but we are AOK!

I fixed some brown rice and Dinty Moore beef stew for supper.  It wasn’t bad at all.  Linda made rice pudding from the left over rice and wouldn’t you know, I ate way to much but boy it was good.

Tonight we took it easy and watched some TV.  I had a little problem with my eyes though, couldn’t keep them open for some reason.

Had a nice relaxing night.  Time to say Night Y”all….

Sunday June 23rd 2013

It looks like kind of a nice day today, it will get warm I’m sure of that. 

I decided to call Miss Kay around 8AM this morning and see if she would like to go to church with us.  I was very surprised when she called back and said she would.   I told her we would pick her up in about forty five minutes and she said she was ready!

Kay is having a really bad day.  This is her son’s birthday and he died about 36 years ago in a skate board accident.  Her husband is also gone as are her parents so today wasn’t a happy day for her.

I guess she enjoyed church, she said, after I asked, that she would like to come back again.
We stopped at Subway and treated her for lunch.  We had a good visit.

This afternoon I was tired so I took a little nap, not sure it helped but maybe tonight I will be able to stay awake.

Church was good tonight. I think Pastor Randy’s sermons are almost better on Sunday Night, he is really relaxed.  He preached on John 3:3.  He kind of explained this statement was actually for the whole world, an explanation of salvation. Probably hard for a non believer to understand even though Nicodemus was a religious person and very knowledgeable about the things of God.  Good message.

We got some rain tonight.  I am not sure how much we got but it rained pretty hard for awhile.

We are taking it easy tonight and I know I will go to bed after the weather.  Guess that is kind of a habit.  I have already seen the weather and know what they are going to say but I stay up and watch it anyway…

Night Y’all..

Saturday June 22nd 2013

I work in the office this afternoon.  Shouldn’t be to bad.  I am taking  the computer with me and my book for Wednesday night.  That should keep me busy for the rest of the day, after my chores.

The day went by really fast, I was surprised.  I got off work at 7PM on the dot!  We weren’t real busy but that is OK.  Doing the cleaning etc took quite awhile then the study and the computer pretty much took up the rests of the day.

I think this is a cardinal.  I was kind of surprised to see one here in this kind of weather, I just figured they were a cold weather bird.  If you notice the tree it only has a couple of leaves.  I think the tree is dying.  It didn’t have many leaves last year and this year it has less.  It isn’t dead yet but some branches sure look sick!

We spent a quiet evening at home, not a lot going on so I guess I will  just say Night Y’all…

Monday June 24th 2013

I am taking today off, we have a couple of things to do in town later. 

I let Linda sleep in and then we headed into town. I want to go to the Christian Book Store to look for a new Bible and I want to pick up a Bible for Nikki because she doesn’t seem to have one.  Nikki was saved in Sonny’s last Sunday School Class, what a day!!  We bought a Bible called “The Book”.  It is a lot like The New Living Translation which is what I bought for myself and Linda has one like it also.  The are a lot easier to understand.

We stopped at Aldi’s to pick up a few things and then headed home.

It is getting hot outside.  We don’t keep it real cool in here but it is comfortable because it keeps the humidity down.  It doesn’t take much for me to get chilly anyway.

We got to watch new new show last night “The Dome” and it wasn’t to bad, it makes you wonder what is going on for sure.

Not a lot more to say so I guess I will say Night Y’all….

Friday June 21st 2013

Going to be another warm day. I will mow Russell Street today, again.  It grows pretty fast and gets looking ugly pretty fast.

Mark wants the truck back so he can go home at 1PM so I had to hustle to get back by one.  I was back about ten minutes until one so I think I did good.  I sharpened the blades on the mower and gave it a little try and it seemed to do OK.

I went home around 3PM.  It was hot but mowing wasn’t bad at all, I didn’t mind it.

When I got home I enjoyed the time with Linda for a little while then went out and mowed our lawn and Tommy’s lawn.  Beautiful day to work outside!

Linda fixed taco salad for supper and it was excellent. We are back on our diet again, been eating beans and taco salad was a nice deviation from the beans…

I’m not sure if I mentioned about the Seed Principle but I did a chapter that I am going to lead next Wednesday and it is something else.  Didn’t do a thing for my ego!  I put in the space by the edge.  Can’t think of what it is called, I know I will remember later…(margin).. anyway, I wrote “oh me”  a bunch of times because I know that it is telling me I’m not doing things like I should be doing!  Would be a good night to stay home and watch TV.  Not going to do that, I need to face my shortcomings.

We got a call from Bren and she wants to come to the Floto Family Reunion an sounds like Kim may come also.  We will see what happens here, I am really surprised!!! Pleasantly surprised!

I had no trouble at all going to sleep tonight, can’t say the same for Linda, I think she was up most of the night.  Night Y’all…..

Thursday June 20th 2013

Got up this morning and it was really nice out, I opened the house again for an hour or so.  It is going to get warm today.

I was right it got up around 95 today and it is humid!  I trimmed some trees, did some weed eating and dumped the trash.  Oh, sprayed some Round Up too.  I went home at noon. I figured it was hot enough to take the day off.

At home I didn’t do much of anything definitely to hot to do much outside.   Tomorrow I will be mowing and that will take most of the day I think.

I still have been looking at tile saws but haven’t bought one yet. 

This stupid computer is giving me fits.  I was going to shut it off and it decided it was time to up date.  I think I finally shut it off after about three hours then had to take the battery out to get it to quit whatever it was doing.  I will probably find out later if it still works on the internet.  I can’t get on Facebook and now I can’t get my mail!  When I get back on the internet I guess I will find out.  I will have to wait until tomorrow to get on the internet. 

I think I will look and see if I have a picture to put in here….

I may have put this picture in here already, I can’t remember..

Not sure what kind of flower this is but but they are really colorful.

Time to say Night Y’all….
