It wasn’t a good day in
the Sharp’s house today. Cheri and I are fighting colds and today seem to be
the worse day. We were very slow getting around. In fact it was after 10:00 am
before I was done with my shower and then I never did get dress, just my jogging
suit. In my case it would be a shuffling suit. Cheri did get a load of laundry
done. We spent the rest of the morning in Bible study and then the afternoon
was napping and watching TV. We did get an e-mail from Larry and Denise wanting
to know if we wanted to go shopping. When Cheri turns done a chance to go
shopping you know she is sick. The only time I was outside was this morning to
get the newspaper.

It was a warm but pretty
windy, just an enough that you needed a jacket at times. Cheri and I still down
with colds and not feeling up to par. Cheri did some laundry this morning which
was all she felt like doing. I picked up Grandma at 9:30 am for her doctor’s
appointment. We had to wait 45 minutes before we got in. Now Grandma has to
have an MRI. So we had to go to the lab for a blood draw to see if she can have
the MRI. It was after noon before I got back home. We had quick lunch and then
down to the Rec Hall for Bible study. There were only five of us to study
Philippians chapter 3, we had a great discussion with a lot of input from
everyone. I think it was the best class we have had to date. After Bible study
Cheri and I went to the hospital to get an appointment for Grandma’s MRI, it
was another long wait to get the appointment. From there we headed to Wal-Mart
to pick up Grandma’s medicine. It was 4:00 pm and we decided to go to Panera
Breads for supper, we felt like soup and sandwich would be good. When we walked
in there was Mike and Pam right ahead of us. They both have colds and thought the
soup and sandwich was a good idea. So we got to visit while we eat. Then we
dropped off Grandma’s medicine and headed home. We were ready for an evening of
recliner and TV with a blanket, looking to feel better tomorrow.

It was another overcast
day with very little sunshine in fact there were a few rain showers this
evening. Cheri and I spent a very quite morning. Cheri made some more baked
oatmeal for breakfast. After coffee, newspaper, and computer work it was time
to do our Bible study to get ready for our Bible study Class tomorrow. We are
studying Philippians chapter 3. The last few days we both have been fighting
colds and not feeling the best. Cheri took it easy this afternoon and I worked
on Carolyn’s screen and found I needed to go over to her place to take some
measurements of the screen door opening as I need to make a whole new screen. I
also went to Lowe’s and picked up the additional door pulls I needed. I stopped
by the carport shop and got the estimate for the carport. Then he told me the
bad news that I wouldn’t be able to get a building permit because it was too
close to my neighbor. So I headed home feeling bad and wondering what my next
move will be. I think I might go ahead and see if something can be worked out.
He did say I could add about four feet which would cost way too much for what I
would gain and still wouldn’t be able to park two cars side by side. Because of
our colds I called Ron and Sandy to let them know we wouldn’t be coming for the
Life Group gathering.

It was warm again this
morning but had overcast skies and then late morning it started raining and
continued into the evening. Cheri said that she had house work to get done
today and some Bible study. I headed out to Carolyn’s this morning work on the
list of things she wants done. I change out the bathroom vanity lights,
installed new hinges and door pulls in the bathroom cabinets, installed a new
light switch in the closet and a new door latch. Check the exhaust fan in the
main bathroom which will need to be replaced. On the way home I stopped at Lowe’s
to get the materials I need to make a new screen for her front storm door. Cheri
talked to Pam today and her and Mike are very sick with colds so when I got
home Cheri headed to the grocery store to get a few things she needed to fix
Mike and Pam supper. Then we drove up to their place to drop off the Chicken
pot pies Cheri made.

It was 61 degrees this
morning when I got up. With all the cold weather and the projects I have been
doing my motorcycle riding has be neglected. So yesterday I sent an e-mail to
my riding buddies to see if any of them wanted to ride today, got an e- mail
back from Larry and Mike wanting to go. We left at 10:00 am and rode to Clermont
by way of the back roads. We stopped for lunch at McDonald’s and then rode over
to the Harley dealer to do some dreaming. I guess we didn’t have enough
dreaming because we rode to Lakeland and stopped at the Harley dealer there.
Mike did find a bike that he fell in love with and did some pricing on it, not
sure if he will be going back to do some more dealing on it. It was near 4:00
pm and 145 miles later when we got home. Larry had put a couple of new windows
in their house and still had the siding to finish and was going to do it today.
So after our ride I helped him finish the project. He did a great job, looks
nice. He still has some finish work to do inside. I think Cheri and Denise were
happy to see us go for a motorcycle ride because that means they can go
shopping all day, like it really makes any different if we go for a ride or
not. We weren’t able to watch much TV this evening as I was tired from the ride
and Cheri was tired from all the shopping.

Today was the nicest day
we have had all winter, by 9:00 am it was already 60 plus degrees, didn’t look to
see what it topped out at but most have been near 80 degrees. Grandma went to
church with friends from her park so it was just Cheri and me. Pam called early
this morning and said that she was sick and they wouldn’t be in church. Pastor
Randy wasn’t in church today as he was with his father in North Carolina who
passed very early this morning. So we had Pastor Carl for the message today.
Our Sunday school lesson was from Nehemiah 10:28-39, Commit Your Way to the
Lord. After church it was Mel & Jan, Cheri & me for lunch at ABC Pizza,
a great place for lunch at a great price. On the way home we made a stop at
Staples, Cheri has been doing some paper work for Grandma and needed a legal size
document copied. Then stopped to fill the car with gas and the price is now up
to $2.29. When we got home it was time for me to get comfy in my recliner to
watch the Daytona 500 race. While I watched the race Cheri played solitaire on
her I-Pad and took a long nap.

It was 10 degrees warmer
this morning and warmed to be a very nice day to be out and about. It was a
relaxing Saturday morning. I asked Cheri if she wanted to go out for breakfast and
got a big smile and said of course. We went to Scotland Yards as we have been
there before and is pretty good; of course it is pretty hard to ruin breakfast.
When we got home I went and got the security golf cart so I could install the
extra lights and wiring. I started around 11:00 am and was near 4:00 pm when I
finished the job. Cheri was busy in her sewing room. The last few days she has
been looking for a table runner quilt pattern that she put away and can’t find.
When I came in the house she was all smiles and said that she found it. I knew
she wouldn’t quit looking until she found it. She is will organized and this
doesn’t happen very often, now me on the other hand it happens a lot. I cleaned
up and headed to the recliner to study the Sunday school lesson only to fall
asleep for an hour, probably would have slept longer but Cheri said that dinner
was ready. After dinner I finished the Sunday school lesson and settled in for
an evening of TV.

We had our coldest morning
for the winter, 26 degrees, broke several records here in Florida. I left Cheri
with her house cleaning and laundry while I went to Ron and Sandy’s to finish
the electrical work that I started last week. I finished that project around
noon and stopped at the place that was supposed to come and give me an estimate
on the carport. This was my third trip there to see about an estimate and this
time they said they would be at our place at 1:00 pm. Well he did show up and
took all the measurements and we talked about what I wanted done. He told me that
he would have the estimate done and prices to me by Monday. Of course I know
enough not to hold my breath. When I got home Cheri said that she had been on
the phone trying to get Grandma’s doctor appointments straighten out. The
clinic had called with a follow up appointment when we haven’t been to the
specialist that he sent us to. So after a few phone calls Cheri thinks that everything
is back on course. Later we went to Lowe’s to pick up a few materials for the
project I will be doing for our Life Group friend Carolyn. I want to start on
the repairs Monday. I also stopped at Tractor Supply to get what I need to
install the additional lights on the security golf cart. The rest of the day
was spent trying to catch up on shows we have recorded on the TV.

It was 37 degrees this
morning and is supposed to be much colder tomorrow. I don’t think it got out of
the 50’s plus it was very winding making the cold go right though us. We had a
10:30 am appointment to meet Carolyn one of our Life Group friends at her
house. She is getting ready to put her house up for sale and move to Green Bay
Wisconsin to be with her son to help raise her grandson. She needs to have a
few things done to the house to make it ready to sell and asked me if I would
do it. She has a list of things that I need to do and wanted to show them to
me. Cheri wrote down everything that she wants done. So next week I will be
working to get Carolyn’s house ready for an open house on March 7. I will be a
busy boy. It was almost noon when we got back home. We had lunch and headed to
the Club house for our Bible study class. There were only six of us today but
that didn’t stop us from having a very good lesson with input from everyone,
thank you God. After Bible study we picked up Grandma and took her to Wal-Mart
so she could get her hair cut. While she was getting that done we got groceries
for her. By the time all was said and done it was dinner time when we got home.
This evening we were invited over to Larry and Denise’s to play Hand, Knee, and
Foot. It was the guy’s night to shine as we won both games. When we got home I
watched the NASCAR Twin Dual Race that I had recorded, so it was a late night
and didn’t get to sleep until after midnight.

It is hard to write a blog
when you haven’t done anything. It was another cold day and not wanting to be
out which was ok as Cheri and I continued in Bible study getting us prepared
for out Bible study class tomorrow that we are leading until we can find a
leader. This is something we never done before, we need prayers for us to learn
what we need to teach the class. The fact is we are the ones that need to be taught.
We were the ones that worked to get the class started and thought that we had a
leader but had stepped down because of illness. We now have fourteen in the
class and one or two more each week. I did go out to see about making arrangements
to have the Security golf cart here Saturday so I can install some additional
lights on it. I also resigned from the security team. I had some
disappointments and thought it would be best to let someone else take my spot.
This evening was our Life Group Gathering. We met Mike and Pam at Capri Pizza
& More for a bit to eat before heading to our Life Group. We look forward to being with our Christian
friends and learning Gods word. Tonight’s class was on Jacob: The Deceiver God
Used. We also want to wish our son in law Coz a Happy Birthday.

It was a warm morning but
windy has there is a front coming through with rain and colder weather later
this week. Cheri and I spent all forenoon in Bible study putting things
together for our Bible study class on Thursday. I had a security meeting at
1:00 pm which lasted about an hour. Then Cheri and I made a trip to the Bank to
get some information on the Homestead Act. Our next stop was the hospital to
pick up Grandma’s C-san that they put on disk for us to take to her doctor. Cheri
had called earlier in the day and was told it would be ready 1:30 pm, knowing
how things work here in Florida we waited until 2:30 pm to pick it up and it
still wasn’t ready and had to wait about ten minutes. Then we headed to the
doctor’s office to pick up all the paper work that has to be filled out for
Grandma’s appointment as it is a new doctor that she hasn’t seen before. Then
we stopped by Grandma’s to see how she was doing. She was in good spirits and feeling
good again which was good news. She gave us a list of things she needs but that
will wait for another day. The rain started around 3:00 pm and came down really
hard for a while and then just a steady rain that went into the night. I just
checked the rain gage and we received just under an inch and a half.

It wasn’t as cold this
morning in fact it was up to 62 degrees by 9:30 am. The reason I know this as I
checked just before we went out the door to go to Orlando to visit friends
Bruce and Jeannie Braaksma from Wisconsin. Bruce had built our new house twenty
two years ago back in Friesland, Wisconsin and we have been friends ever since.
They have a time share in Orland for a week. It was near 10:30 am as we approached
Orlando and thought that the traffic wouldn’t be bad but I was wrong about that
because the last ten miles was in stop and go traffic on I-4. I think we have
had stop and go traffic every time we have been there. We had a wonderful visit
catching up from the last year when they were here. They took us out for dinner
at the Barbeque Pit which was pretty good. Then back to their place for more
visiting. We waited until 8:00 pm to leave, figured the traffic wouldn’t be a
problem at the time of the evening. Yep wrong again, we had stop and go traffic
for about four miles. All in all it was a wonderful day to spend with friends.

I got an e-mail from
Grandma around 5:00 am this morning telling me that she was sick and wouldn’t
be going to church today. Pam came to church without Mike, Pam said that his
neck and shoulder was bothering him and didn’t feel good. Pastor Randy had a good
message: What Does It Mean to Be Holy from Ephesians 1:4 and Peter 1:15-16. In
Sunday school we studied Nehemiah 9:32-37 return to the Restoring God. After
Sunday school we had pot luck (Linger Longer) of soup, salad, and dessert. It
was all very good and we got a chance to meet some more of our Sunday school
group. On the way home we stopped by Grandma’s to see how she was doing, said
that she was sick to her stomach and hurt all over, think maybe she has the
flu. It was after 2:30 pm when we got home I told Cheri I was exhausted and
didn’t want to do anything. She said that she was tired too. We both took naps
in our recliners while trying to watch TV. It was cold again this morning the
ground was white with frost.

Happy Valentine’s Day to
everyone. It was a special day for Cheri and me as 48 years ago today I asked
Cheri to marry me. So this was the day we got engaged. It was also a busy day.
I copied all the tax papers and got them in the mail to our accountant. Then we
went for haircuts. I had to make a stop at Lowe’s to pick up some new filters for
our drinking water. Then a stop at Wal-Mart to pick out our valentine cards for
each other, after reading them we put them back on the rack and then bought a
few groceries we needed. Then it was home for a quick lunch and to put away the
groceries. Then we went to Home Depot to look at and price counter tops for the
cabinets that we are looking at. While we were there we also looked at back splashes
and flooring. After all of this it was 3:00 pm and I wanted to take Cheri out
for dinner to celebrate our engagement. Looking for something different and
nice we chose the Black Stone here in Zephyrhills. Cheri called for reservations
and they told her they weren’t accepting anymore but told us that if we came
right away we could get in. So by 3:30 we were ordering our dinner. It all
turned out to be a big disappointment, we both had rib eye steak along with the
salad bar, the salad bar was ok but the steak was really bad, tough and no
flavor and pricey. From there we went to the Lakeland mall as I wanted to buy
Cheri a dancing necklace for our special day. We did find one that Cheri liked
and one that would fit my budget. We were back home by 6:30 pm and time for me
to get ready to watch the first race of the NASCAR season. Oh yes it was a cold
day, was in the low 30’s this morning and did get up to 62.

Wow Friday the thirteenth
supposes we should be extra careful today. Well there was no time to worry
about that was a busy day for both of us. Cheri did house work, laundry and
finished the taxes. I went Ron and Sandy’s to work on their electrical problem
they have in the house. I was there a while back and found the area where the
problem was. Today I work on it and trace the problem to some old wiring that was
in the patio ceiling. It took me from 9:30 am until 3:00 pm to get everything
working again. I still have to go back to cut in an electrical box and rewire a
wall fan that wasn’t in stalled correctly plus put the rest of the ceiling back
up in the patio. I guess between two and three hours to finish the project. I
had to quit early has Mike and Pam were picking us up at 4:15 pm to go out for
dinner and then to Haines City to hear The Chosen Ones. They are a traveling
gospel singing group. Mike and Pam are friends of theirs as they came from the
same area where they lived in Illinois. We got to talk with them after wards to
hear some of their stories. We all came away filled with the spirit of God.
What a wonderful way to spend the evening hearing great gospel music and being
with close friends.

to 70 degrees before the day was over. Cheri was out and about this morning,
had a list of things she needed to do. I stayed home, inside where it was warm
which was ok has I needed to do Bible study this forenoon to get ready for our
1:00 pm Bible study class here in the park. We are in need of a Bible study
leader. Cheri and I are trying to take the lead until someone steps up to lead
our group. Maybe this is Gods way of calling us to lead but I know there is
someone out there that could do a much better job. We have one more couple that
is going to join us next week. The rest of the afternoon was doing computer
work, getting our appointment list up to date and sending out e-mails to the
Bible study group. We finally got the last piece of information we needed for
our income tax, hope to get that in the mail this week. This evening we had
Larry and Denise over to play cards. It has been over a week since we last saw
them as they also had company. We played Hand, knee, and foot which the girls
won one game and we guys won one. We also played one game of Skip-Bo which
Larry and I won.

Katherine made us baked
oatmeal for breakfast this morning, something we haven’t had before. It was
very good and will be having it again tomorrow as we had some left over. Cheri
has the recipe so we can have it again sometime. Bro and Katherine left around
10:00 am, sure hated to see them leave so soon. We had a wonderful three days
with them, three days of fun and laughter. At 11:00 am Cheri and I headed to
Tampa to get some pricing on kitchen cabinets at Direct Buy. They will send us
the quote by e-mail. We also looked at flooring while we were there. Stopped on
the way home to fill the car with gas, it has gone up over 30 cents in less
than a week. All it takes is someone to have a hiccup and the price jumps up. We
had to be home before 3:00 pm because the guy was coming to give us an estimate
on the extension for the carport. Well once again no one showed up and no call
from them, just another normal Florida disappointment. No matter who you talk
to they all tell me that it is hard to get a contractor to come and give you an
estimate. Tonight was supposed to be our Life Group gathering but was canceled because
most of our group wasn’t going to be able to make it. So Cheri and I had a
relaxing evening watching TV.

Bro and I another. Not sure how it happened but we all came out at the end at

house I showed Bro what I want to do to the carport, showed him carport down
the street that was extended a couple of weeks ago. Back to the house for
lunch, then Cheri and Katherine headed to Beall’s to shop. Bro and I went to
Lakeland to shop at Harbor Freight when I got a call that the quote for the
kitchen cabinets was done so we headed to Home Depot to pick it up. Then we stopped
at the place that was supposed to come and give me an estimate on the carport.
They told me that they would be here tomorrow at 3:00 pm. After all this was
done it was time to meet Cheri and Katherine back at the house as Cheri had
already picked up Grandma so we could go to Lakeland for dinner at Harry’s. It
has been a long time since we have been there. We had gone there last year with
Katherine and Bro and they wanted to go there again. I had forgotten how good
the food was. On the way home we dropped Grandma off at her place and then home

but by the time we got to church I took my jacket off and didn’t need it the
rest of the day. We picked Grandma up at 8:45 am to go to church with us. The
choir was all men this morning and they were very good. Pastor Randy had a very
good message which was from the book of Exodus and Sunday school class was from
Nehemiah 8:1-12. We didn’t go out for lunch with anyone today as we had company
coming early afternoon and needed to be back home. So we brought Grandma to our
place for lunch. Later Bro and Katherine, long time friends from Wisconsin
arrived. We had a great visit with lots of jokes and laughs. Cheri fixed the
Lasagna she had put together yesterday along with garlic toast and fresh baked chocolate
chip cookies, love it when we get company because Cheri goes all out cooking.
We played SOB which Grandma won. Then it was time to take her home. When I got

away a bunch of totes that Mike and Mary returned. I even took time to weed the

back to the Alaskan rally this afternoon to do more visiting. Spike the caravan
owner had a wonderful dinner of chicken and barbeque ribs for us. After dinner
he had a magician do his show which was very good. Then Spike did some give a
ways and then told us that he was not having three tours anymore, only two and
they would be three days longer making for a 37 day tour. This was the year we

It seems like I move a
little slower in the morning, think old age is catching up with me or I hope it
is just the weather. While we were drinking coffee this morning I asked Cheri
what she was going to do today and she said that she had a few thing to get
done for the company we have coming. Then she asked me what I was going to do,
the best thing I could think of was to stay out of her way. After a slow start,
coffee, breakfast, news, exercise, and shower it was already 10:00 am. So I
spent the rest of the morning and part of the afternoon in Bible study getting
ready for Sunday school and our Thursday Bible study. Late afternoon we got a
call from Larry and Denise wanting to come and get the rug shampooer and were
checking to see if we were home. Pretty soon Larry showed up on the motorcycle and
we wondered how he was going to haul the shampooer on the motorcycle. Well it
turned out that they lock their keys in the house and the only thing they had
was a key for the motorcycle. We had a set of their keys here to use to check
their house when they are up North for the summer. So Larry took the keys went
home and got in and got the keys for the truck to come and get the shampooer.
Late afternoon we headed down to Lazy Days for our Alaskan rally. It was fun
getting together with the friends we make on the two trips to Alaska. Cheri got
to show some of her quits that she made over the last year. We get to go back tomorrow
evening for more visiting and good food.

I checked the rain gage
and we received 3” of rain though the night and this forenoon. Not wanting to
be out and about because of the weather Cheri and I worked on our lesson for
the Bible study class this afternoon. Then we watched a Dr. Larry Ollison video
titled What Happens When You Die. It was very good and then we watched a Tony
Evans video titled What Happens When You Die. Dr Ollison’s was ten times better
than Tony Evans. I must say though that we are studying a book of Tony Evans in
our Life Group and it is very good. Our Bible study class was at 1:00 pm and
had a small turn out as most of our group was out of town but that didn’t stop
us from having a great discussion in the first chapter of Philippians. After
Bible study Cheri and I went to get groceries. I didn’t think we bought that
much but still cost us $145. It has been a while since we have had an evening
to ourselves and felt really good, an evening of catching up on some of our

I was going to sleep in
this morning then I remembered that I didn’t set the recyclables out last night
and they always come around 6:30 am. So I got up at my usual time and got the recyclables
set out, wouldn’t you know it they didn’t come until round 10:00 am. It was on
the cold side again this morning and the weather report said rain and then
turning colder. I had wanted to wash the car inside and out today. Around 11:00
am the sun came out and had warmed up enough that I did wash and detailed the
car. It was a bigger job than I thought it would be. It was late afternoon when
I got done. Cheri did what Cheri usually does on Wednesday, vacuuming and
dusting, and Bible study for our Life Group this evening. We met Mike and Pam at
Walgreens at 5:15 pm and rode with them to Wendy’s where we met Ron and Sandy
for supper and a visit before going to Ron and Sandy’s for our Life Group gathering.
It was another great evening with Life Group friends and learning Gods word.
Our lesson this evening was about Rahab. We never did get the rain today but I
did wake up around 1:00 am and it was raining pretty hard.

It was another 40 degree
morning and then warmed slowly to around 64 degrees and was windy. I had to get
around early again this morning as I had to pick Grandma up at 8:45 am for her
out patient C-scan for her sinuses that she is having a problem with. Then it
was a trip to the other end of the hospital for her bone density test. After all
was said and done it was around 11:30 am when I got home. I had gotten a call
from Ron this morning and was telling me they have an electrical problem. The electrical
breaker for their sunroom and patio had tripped and not able to reset it. Ron
thought it might be a weak breaker, so I took my collection of breakers and
went to check out their problem. Well the problem wasn’t the breaker, after
doing some isolation I found the problem is in the wiring on the patio. I disconnected
the wiring to the patio so they could have power in the sunroom. I didn’t have
time to dig into the problem and will go back next week to fix it. On the way
home I stopped by Larry and Denise’s to see it they got the concrete for their
driveway and patio poured. It was all done and the forms had been removed,
looks really good, wish I would have had them do mine as it turned out pretty
bad. When I got home I had an hour to rest before going to church for men’s
night out. Cheri did her usual Tuesday house work and some more work on taxes
as we got some of what we needed in the mail today. She also spent time reading
and watching TV.

I was up a little earlier
today as I had to have Grandma to the doctor’s office by 8:50 am for her
fasting lab. So I didn’t get my exercise done until I got back home. We did
some more work on taxes and still need a few things to come before we can
finish them. When I was putting up the wall in the sunroom I knocked Cheri’s porcelain
pelican off the cabinet and broke it. I felt really bad because I know Cheri
really liked the pelican. So today I got out the glue and put Mr. Pelican back
together again. This afternoon we went to Wesley Chapel to see the movie Black
and White. It is a must see movie. It was pretty warm this morning and then by
noon we got rain and the temp started going south for the rest of the day. I thought
we might get a call from Home Depot on the kitchen cabinets or a call from the
guy to give us an estimate on the carport, but nothing. That’s one thing I have
found out about being in Florida people will make appointments with you and never
show up and they don’t even call to tell you they can’t make it. Then I feel it
time to look for another vendor but the same thing happens all over again.

Hard to believe we are in
February already. Not sure where January went so fast. We picked up Grandma and
took her to church with us. I had e-mailed Pastor Randy for his message notes
and got a return e-mail telling me he was out of town spending today with his
daughter who had a baby on Saturday. So Pastor Carl was going to deliver the
message. Pastor Randy said that he would get in touch with Pastor Carl to see
if he had message notes that Grandma could have to read. Well we didn’t get and
answer from Pastor Carl. So it was a hard day for Grandma. The message was hard
to follow and Cheri couldn’t really write anything for Grandma. Sunday school
was really good, studied Nehemiah 7:1-8. It was just Grandma, Cheri and me for
lunch today. So we thought that as long as it was just the three of us we would
try to get into ABC Pizza for lunch. We did get the last booth so that was good
that we didn’t have to wait. After we dropped Grandma off at home we went to
Wal-Mart to get Grandma’s groceries and medicine. Being Sunday Wal-Mart was
really busy. After all was said and done it was around 2:30 pm when we arrived
home. I tried to do some Bible study but was tired and ended up taking a nap.
Cheri was reading and playing on her I-Pad. After my nap we watched some TV and
then got ready to watch the Super Bowl. Which I thought was a big disappointment;
even the advertisement wasn’t that good. I didn’t care for the half time music
but thought the lighting effects were great.

Cheri and I spent the
morning with Bible study. We had our Sunday school lesson to go over, worked on
our Life Group daily lesson, and did some reading and internet searching for our
Thursday Bible Study Group. At 12:30 pm we picked up Larry and Denise and
headed to Dade City for the Kumquat Festival. It is a one day event that draws
over 40,000 people. This year it seemed like there were over 50,000. There are vendors
lined up on all the streets downtown, if I was to guess there were somewhere
around 300 selling anything and everything. Cheri and Denise shopped the
vendors and Larry and I went to the car show. There had to be over 200 cars for
the show. When we were done with the car show we sat by the court house and listened
to a band play, it mainly to sit and rest while the girls were shopping. There
were several bands playing in different areas. On the way home we stopped at a
couple of second hand stores. Denise was looking for some special glasses for
smoothies. She did find one glass and a quilt rack she bought. We went to Sonny’s
Barbeque for supper and then back to Larry and Denise’s to play one game of
cards. It was a great day spending time with God and friends.
