It was 65 degrees this morning for the walk and very foggy, turned out to be a very nice day with a high temp around 80 degrees. Cheri and I got the laundry started this morning. Cheri finished working with the laundry and some housework. I headed out to pick up my medications at the pharmacy and a stop at Rural King to pick up some dried soup made by Bear Creek. We used to buy it at Menards up north. The first time I have seen it down here. Maybe the real reason I went to Rural King was for the free popcorn.  On the way home I stopped and checked Kacey’s house. When I got home I worked on taking down the outside Christmas lights. I got the step ladder in the house to get Cheri’s Christmas containers down so she can start putting away all the Christmas decorations which will take a couple of days. Late this afternoon we made a trip to Lakeland to have dinner at Harry’s Seafood Bar and Grill. Cheri had a ribeye steak and I had the tender loin, another excellent meal. It is still our favorite place to eat. When we got home we settled in for an evening of TV watching Northwoods Law. Thank you God for blessing us with a beautiful day.

It was 62 degrees this morning and only needed a long sleeve shirt because it was foggy. Cheri was busy with housework and I went over to Donna’s to finish the skirting project. I was done by noon and happy to have that project done. It was really more than I am able do anymore. So it was a good lesson for me to say no to bigger jobs. After lunch I went to Lowe’s to return some materials I didn’t need and also to Advanced Auto to make a return. When I got home I headed for the shower and then to the recliner where Cheri was already reading. I read a little and napped before supper. Cheri made a ham casserole from the leftover ham for supper. It was really good and had to have a second serving. This evening I went out for security with Dennis all was quiet and nice to see the Christmas lights, some already have been taken down. When I got home Cheri finished watching a Hallmark movie and then we watched more episodes of North Woods Law and When big things go Wrong. Thank you God for blessed day. I forgot to take a picture of the finished shirting project but looked like the starting picture without the bowling.

It was 59 degrees this morning for the walk and no wind. I left the house at 6:15 am heading to Dade City for my accountability group breakfast and Bible Study. We are still in Romans chapter 8, some heavy stuff to understand. So happy to have Charlie Rodgers to explain it to us. It was around 9:00 am when I got home. Cheri had slept in and was just finishing breakfast. I headed to the bathroom shaving and getting ready to face the day. I headed back to Donna Perkins house skirting project. I thought I would be able to finish it today. But I quit at 4:00 pm as I wasn’t able to work anymore today. Thankful that I had the help of Dennis. The hot shower felt good on the sore muscles. I tried to read some before supper but that didn’t last long before I was napping. Cheri was busy with housework and made a batch of chocolate chip cookies for me. She fixed what I think was the last of the chicken casserole for supper. We watched Northwest Law and When big things go Wrong. Thank you God for guiding us through this day keeping us healthy and safe. 


Hope to finish tomorrow.

It has been a bigger project than I thought it would be.

It was another warm 53 degrees this morning. Cheri was busy with housework and deboning the ham we took for Christmas dinner. So we will have ham for a few meals and I think Cheri even froze some of it. I worked over at Donna Perkins doing the house skirting project. Dennis helped me, had good day getting the siding off and building a new support system. The landscaper over the years put too much gravel next to the house and caved in the skirting. It took a while to get all the stone and gravel away from the house skirting. After lunch Dennis and I went to Lowe’s to get the material we needed. By 3:30 pm we were at a stopping point which was a good thing as I was done for the day. Couldn’t wait to get home and get in the shower which helped make me feel better. Cheri fixed us left over casserole for supper. Larry and Denise came over to play cards, everybody was a winner tonight, I guess it also means everyone was a looser. Thank you God for a blessed day helping us through this day. 


Skirting project before we started.

You can see where it is caved in.

Some of the new support system is built

It was 54 degrees this morning for the walk. Church was a half hour later as only one service today at 10:00 am. Pastor Randy’s message was titled “Jesus - Life of the World” from 1 John 5:11-13. We didn’t have Sunday school today so we were back home with our pizza at 11:45 am. Cheri watched a couple of Hallmark movies while I read and watched the Bucks football game in the bed room. For supper we had the Philly steak sandwich we got with the pizza. This evening we watched a couple of episodes of Homestead Rescue. Thank you God for time spent with you and friends.

Praying everyone received the good news about Jesus and celebrate Christmas with the correct sprit. I did my morning walk and the weather was pretty much the same as yesterday. Cheri and I got the ham in the crockpot this morning to take lover to Larry and Denise’s. We left the house at 1:15 pm and headed to Larry and Denise’s to help before everyone got there but they had everything ready. There were ten of us for dinner at 2:00 pm. No one went away hungry. After dinner it was time for visiting and playing cards. It was around 6:30 pm when we got home. We put the leftover ham in the refrigerator and will take care of it tomorrow. I settled in to watch the Green Bay Packer football game while Cheri read. A little later we got a call from Darren, Wyatt, and Brooke. We got to have a lot of face time with Wyatt as he showed us and told us all the things he got for Christmas. Later we didn’t hear anything from Kari so we called her and had a visit with her. Thank you God for a blessed day with family and friends.

The temp this morning for the walk was 43 degrees and no wind. We got the bedding laundry started before breakfast. After I got cleaned up I headed out to pick up Cheri’s meds. When I got back I worked on reassembling the golf cart charger. I thought about doing some work on the golf cart but my hands were cold. So I went in the house and worked on setting up my Kindle. Things went pretty good but have to work on some of the other things, waiting for the book that will help us with other things we can do with the Kindles. Cheri fixed us a grilled cheese sandwich along with chips and Christmas cookies and candy for lunch. We left the house at 5:30 pm to attend the candle light service. It was close to 7:30 pm when we got home. I was hungry because we left without any supper. Not wanting to eat late we had an English muffin with peanut butter and jelly. I don’t remember what all we watched on TV as it was a mixture of shows we don’t normally watch. Thank you God for helping us through this day and celebrating your birth with friends.

It was 42 degrees this morning with a breeze for the morning walk. Cheri and I went out for breakfast at the village Inn. It was very pricey at 26 dollars and change for a normal breakfast of eggs, bacon, hash browns, toast, and coffee. We could have driven to Dade City and had breakfast and paid for the gas to get there and back much cheaper. Cheri was busy with laundry and other house work. I headed over to Donna Perkins to check out her house skirting which needs to be repaired. She had some guys come and look at it and gave her a price on it and said that it needed to be replaced and couldn’t use the same skirting has she has because of the rules in the park and was going to have to use cement stacked blocks with a pored footing which will cost several thousand dollars. So after checking it out I will be able to repair what is there without having to put in something new. It is one of the them projects that I was going to do anymore. Larry and Denise came over and Denise set up the Fitbit that our neighbor gave Cheri. So I took Larry over to see the skirting project and between the two of us came up with a good repair for it. This afternoon Dennis and I went over to finish the deadbolt project. The rest of the afternoon was spent reading and did have a nap. Cheri fixed a new recipe called Chicken Parmesan Pasta. It was ok but nothing special and have at lease two more days of it. This evening we watched North Woods Law and When Big Things Go Wrong. Thank you God for helping us through this day keeping us healthy and safe.


Winners of the Gingerbread house building contest at church. There were around twenty different houses.

I guess our winter weather has arrived as it was 47 degrees this morning for the walk. After breakfast and getting cleaned up for the day I headed and put the new relay in the golf cart charger and now that is working again. The rest of my morning was spent in the recliner reading. Cheri got her morning work done and spent time with her new Kindle, already down loaded a book she bought off Amazon. We headed out a 11:30 am for church. After church we went to Tina & Joe’s new cafe in Zephyrhills. We had a. problem getting seated as we had to wait and several people went in and got seated ahead of us. We finally went back in and they forgot that we were waiting outside where they told us to wait. Then since they just opened they had run out of several things which made it hard for us to order. The food we got was very good. Because of the waiting problem Tina came and told us there was no charge for our meal. So we left happy that they took care of their mistake. Yes, we will go back again. It was near 3:00 pm when we got home so there wasn’t any supper. Cheri called her sister Sandy and visited for an hour with her. I read and had a nap. Out evening was watching Dateline and some home improvement shows. Thank you God for time spent with you today.

I didn’t think I would be walking this morning as it was raining before I got up. I checked the weather map and see there was a clearing here so I headed out for the walk. Well, I just got in the door from the walk and it started to rain. It rained on and off all forenoon and received 3/4 inch. I left the house at 6:15 am heading out for my accountability group breakfast and Bible study. Our study was the first part of Romans chapter 8. We went to pick up Larry and Denise at 10:30 am to go to Sam’s Club. Larry couldn’t go as he was helping a friend with an electrical problem. So it was me with two ladies. The main reason for going was to pick up a ham for Christmas dinner but they were out of them. I was worried we wouldn’t get one but found them at Publix’s. We had a late lunch when we got home while watching some TV. Cheri’s Kindle came this afternoon so took some time setting it up, hard when you don’t know what you are doing. We did get something set up. I ordered a book for dummies and seniors on to set up the Kindle, so will have to wait for the rest of setup. We had soup and crackers for supper. This evening we went over to Larry and Denise’s to play cards. Larry and I were the winners. The first game was close and a lot of fun but second game was a blow out and not that much fun. Thank you God for a blessed day keeping us healthy and safe.

It was 63 degree for the morning walk. After our normal morning of breakfast, coffee, Bible study, and exercises with headed out to Big Lots as Cheri saw in the advertisement that they had Kindle Pillow stands. But they were too big, but manage to find some other things. Then we headed to Tampa to pick up a part for the golf cart that is supposed to get rid of the noise it makes. We stopped a Winn Dixie for some groceries. We had a late lunch when we got home. Just got through with lunch when Dennis called and wanted me to install a dead bolt lock on their fiends door. After getting the hole made there were pieces missing from the lock so I have to wait for a new lock. Got home just in time to get cleaned up before Dennis and Sue  picked us up to go out for supper. We decide to go to Arby’s as it has been a few years since we were last there. After going there I now remember why we don’t go there. This evening we watched Dateline along with some other shows we had recorded. Thank you God for building us through this day.

It was another wonderful morning for the walk, don’t know how much longer we are going to have this great weather but enjoying it. Cheri was up early this morning to get the candy and cookies packed up to take to Sunday school. Pastor Randy’s message was titled “Jesus-The Light of the World!” from John 8:12. Our Sunday school lesson was titled “Judges” from Ezekiel 20:1-14. God judges those who reject Him as Lord. Charlie our Sunday school teacher couldn’t be here today. So I filled in with the announcements and prayers. Dwight Loomis did the lesson. There were cookie and candy to be had and then a cookie and candy exchange. After Sunday school we took some cookies and candy over to Art and Ruby’s and had a nice visit with them. It was after 2:00 pm when we got home. We settled in with some leftover salad from last night and watched a HallMark movie. After the movie it was time to watch the Packers football game. I only got to watch the first half before it was time to go over to Donna Perkins for pizza and ice cream along with some of her fiends. It was after 8:00 pm when we got home. Cheri went to bed to watch TV and I went to my recliner to watch the rest of the Packer game which they won. Then I watched the first half of the Bucks game, couldn’t stay awake to watch the whole game. Thank you God for time spent with you and friends today.

I had to wear a long sleeve shirt for my morning walk with Dennis. When we walk we alway come back by our house. Well, this morning when we came around the corner my truck was running. I have remote starting on the truck but the remote was in the house. Don’t know what happened to make it start up. The good thing is that it will only run for 10 minutes before shutting off. I have had it start up before but it was because I had the remote in my pocket and have bumped into something to make it start. I went out and did an electrical project here in our park today. I also did more work on dismantling the golf cart. Cheri was busy making cookies today along with doing the bed laundry which we normally do on Friday. This evening we were invited out for dinner at Skip and Joy’s along with Dick and Linda part of our date day group. It was a good time visiting. It was 9:00 pm when we got home and was ready for bed where we watched some TV before calling it a night. Thank you God for a blessed day.

The temp for the morning walk was still in the low 60’s, we have had some great weather for December. Cheri and I headed to Dade City to have breakfast at the Black Eyed Pea, so that was our outing for the day. Cheri spent the whole day making Christmas candy and a seven layer salad. I worked on the golf cart until noon. After lunch I did some internet searching for parts for the golf cart. I even went to the golf cart dealer and didn’t have the part that I was looking for. With their help I located the part at a dealer down and Tampa but they are open on Saturday, so it will be a Monday trip. The Kindles we ordered came this afternoon. They were the wrong ones and as it turned out I had ordered the wrong ones. So I boxed them up and took the to the UPS to have them returned. That is one thing I like about Amazon, they make it easy for returns. I did order the right Kindles and supposed to be here Monday. This evening Larry and Denise came over to play cards. After loosing six straight games, Larry and I won both game tonight. Thank you God for a blessed day helping through this day keeping us healthy and safe.  


Ready to start working on the cart.

It was 62 degree again this morning but felt colder this morning, maybe more humidity in the air. We got the laundry started first thing this morning. Cheri had a 9:00 am appointment for a haircut and then stopped and got groceries. She was back before I headed out to work over at Donna’s. Worked on a shed door and some siding repair. I also stopped by Kacey’s to check her house as its been a couple of weeks since I was last there. After lunch we got a call from Pat and Roger wishing us a Merry Christmas, had a good visit with them. Cheri worked on getting the Christmas letter in the computer so I could e-mail it out today. Our off the air CBS channel was back on dish today. Felt bad that we missed the final episode of Survivor. I will have to see if I can get it on demand. For supper Cheri fixed a frozen bag of shrimp scampi that I picked up and wasn’t very good. This evening we watched several episodes of Northwest Law before calling it a nigh and we both napped through some of them. Thank you God for helping us through this day.

It was 62 degrees this morning and breezy for the morning walk. After breakfast and getting cleaned up for the day I headed to the recliner and napped until it was time to leave at 11:30 am for church. I just can’t seem to get enough sleep. Cheri was busy with house work this mooning. After church we went to have a late lunch at Tina and Joe’s new cafe, still not open. They are opening tomorrow, Tina showed us around as it is an old house with tables and chairs in every room. From there we stopped at the library to our library cards so we can check out books on our new Kindle when they arrive Friday. Then a stop at Ollie’s where Cheri bought seven new books. Then we headed to DQ as they have a lunch special with a sundae and can only use the drive through as the dinning isn’t open. So we ended up at Jersey Mikes for subs to take home. We watch a show while having our late lunch and early supper. After lunch I napped while Cheri watched a movie. CBS has been removed from the Dish Network so we are missing all the shows we watch, not happy. Do you think they will reduce our monthly bill? (Not) I searched for something else to watch on TV but didn’t fine anything that was interesting. Thank you God for a relaxing day and time spent with you.

It was 63 degrees for the walk this morning. I left the house 5:45 am heading for my accountability group breakfast and Bible study. I left early because I was making pancakes and sausage for breakfast along with coffee with the help of Bill McCaffery. There were seven of us and all went well for breakfast. We finished up Romans chapter seven and the first part of chapter eight. Cheri was busy working when I got home. After I got cleaned up I did some work on the computer. After lunch we went to see Rick and Gloria Thrash. Rick had fallen and broke both knee caps. He is doing some better but not able to bend his knees. Cheri fixed more hotdogs and potato salad for supper. We went over to Larry and Denis’s to play cards and the girls won both games, they now have won six straight games. Thank you God for a blessed day and spending time with friends.

Sorry I am late this morning as I had an early appointment and couldn’t get the blog done before I left, so here it is. It was 66 degrees for the morning walk with Dennis. Cheri was busy with her Monday’s house work. I had a 10:30 doctor’s appointment this morning and didn’t get into a room until 11:30 am and then waited another half hour before the doctor came in. Ten minutes later I was done. So I waited and hour and a half for a ten minute visit. Well, the good thing I am still alive and kicking. It was 12:30 pm when I got home. Cheri fixed us lunch and watched a TV show while having it. The rest of our afternoon  was reading and napping. Cheri made potato salad to have for supper along with hotdogs. It was a normal evening of recorded TV shows. Thank you God for helping us through this day keeping us healthy and safe.

It was 62 degrees for the walk this morning. Cheri was up early this morning to get the fruit cut up for Sunday school and the cake ready to go. We left for church at 9:00 am. Pastor Randy’s message was titled “Grace and the Covenants” from Galatians 4:21-5:1. Our Sunday school lesson was titled “Saves” from Ezekiel 11:2-4, 14-21. God    offers hope in the midst of judgment to those who trust in Him. We stay for a while after Sunday school to visit and getting the information I need for next Sunday as I will be doing the announcements and prayers for Sunday school. We ordered our pizza and picked it up on the way home. We settled in with the pizza and a movie. I couldn’t get into the movie so after the pizza I read my novel and finished that before the football game started. Cheri watched more movies and I went to the bedroom to watch the Bucks win their game with Buffalo. Then watched the Packers win their game with Chicago. It was midnight when the game got over, Cheri even watched the whole game with me. Thank you God for time spent with you and church friends.

It was another 64 degree morning with no fog for the walk. It was a busy day for Cheri. She went grocery shopping and making food to take for Sunday school tomorrow. I went back to work on the neighbors golf cart batteries and managed to burn out my 12 volt charger as lot of smoke came out of it. I decided the batteries were too far gone to bring them back. It is sad because if they had taken care of them they would still be good now. After lunch I went over to Mike and Pam’s to install the voltage converter and voltage inverter on their golf cart so they can display Christmas lights. I got it done just in time as tomorrow night is there golf cart parade. Cheri fixed us the last of the lasagna for supper. Larry and Denise picked us up at 5:45 pm to do the Walk Through Bethlehem at a local church. We have done it before but it was several years ago. Normally we would have played cards afterwards but I was too tired and exhausted. We went to bed early and watched a little TV there.

It was a 65 degree morning with no wind or fog, very nice morning walk with Dennis. I got the bedding in the washer, something we do every Friday. Today we made the bed with the new sheets that Cheri bought. I went over to the neighbors to put water in the golf cart batteries and check the voltage which should be at 48 volts and I checked and it was at 1.4 volts. I put my charger on two of the batteries and it kept kicking out but after a while it started to charge. I had plugged in my golf cart before going to the neighbors and when I came home mine wasn’t working, depressing as I had just repaired it a few week ago and was working fine. I took it apart and seems to be the same relay that I replaced before. Cheri told be she would like a Kindle for Christmas and not knowing any thing about them. So we went to see Ron and Sandy as they both have them and to have them tell us about how to use them. We also went to Culver’s for lunch and then back to their place to visit. When we got home I went back to check the neighbors batteries and it was still charging. Disconnected the charger for the night and will go back tomorrow to start it again.  We had leftover lasagna for supper. We watched the Chicago shows this evening along with Tough as Nails. Oh yes I order two Kindles for us and should be here just before Christmas. Thank you God for helping us through this day and tine spent with friends.

It was another warm morning walk but very foggy again. It was a normal morning with breakfast, coffee, and Bible study. Cheri does her exercises and Bible study. After all that it time to do some work. Today was laundry day I start the laundry and Cheri finishes it. The only thing I did today was plug in our golf cart to charge the batteries. Our neighbor wanted me to check out their golf cart as the batteries wouldn’t take a charge. It has been a year since they have used it. The first thing I did was check the batteries and they where bone dry. I told them to get some distilled water and I would fill them and then see if they will take a charge. The rest of the day was reading and napping. Cheri fixed us lasagna and Texas toast for supper. This evening we watched some recorded shows and all I remember is some home improvement shows and Alaska Last Frontier. Thank you God for helping us through this day.


I have made a decision that as long as I am not working anymore and not traveling I really don’t have any thing to write about. So my last blog will be December 31st. I started the blog back in 2005 and pretty much wrote everyday so out children could follow us as we travel full time for eight years.

It was 67 degrees for the walk this morning. Cheri made us French toast, bacon, and juice for breakfast. We watched a bit of local news while eating and having our coffee. Cheri worked on the Wednesday housework. I went outside and cleaned the bugs off the car and truck and then took them through the car wash. After that was done it was time to get cleaned up and leave for noon church. After church we stopped and got some milk. Then home for a late lunch. The rest of the afternoon was spent reading and napping. This evening Larry and Denise came over to play cards. Once again Denice and Cheri won the card games by a huge amount. Thank you God for taking care of us today and spending time with you and friends.

Please take time to remember what Japan did to us 80 years ago that got us into a war where we lost many lives. It was a warm 62 degrees for the morning walk, so nice to have Dennis back to walk with. I left the house at 6:15 am heading to Dade City for my accountability group breakfast and Bible study. There were seven of us this morning and studied the first part of Romans chapter seven. It was a little after 9:00 am when I got home. Cheri was already busy with the Tuesday housework and then made a batch of chocolate chip cookies. I went over to Mike and Pams to instal a power inverter in their golf cart so they can display Christmas lights. I needed 12 volts DC for the input to the inverter but their cart has eight volt batteries and can’t get the 12 volts I need without a voltage converter. So we sat and visited for a while. When I got home it was lunch time and Cheri was just finishing with cookies. After lunch I ordered the voltage converter and then to the recliner to rest, read, and nap. Cheri fixed leftovers for supper. Then settled in to watch TV shows we had recorded. Thank you God for a blessed day.

It was another foggy morning for my walk, 56 degrees. I left the house at 8:15 am heading downtown fo a haircut. When I got home Cheri was busy with Monday housework. I did some computer work and then read my book. After an early lunch we left the house at 12:00 pm heading to the Tampa airport to pick up Dennis and Sue. We took our books along with us so we could read while waiting for them to come. We got them hone around 3:00 pm. They wanted to go out for supper as they didn’t have any food in the house. So we picked them up at 5:00 pm and went to Jersey Mike’s for subs. When we got home we settled in to watch a Hallmark movie or should say Cheri watched the movie as I slept through it. We went to bed early and watched some TV there before calling it a night. Thank you God for taking care of and giving us safe travels.

I didn’t walk this morning. I did get up at my normal time but just didn’t feel like walking and went back to bed. I finally got up at 6:00 am. We left at 9:00 am for church. Pastor Randy’s message was titled “A Personal Plea” from Galatians 4:12-20. Our Sunday school lesson was titled “Commissioned” from Ezekiel 3:8-21. God calls people to consistently proclaim His truth. On the way home we ordered our Domino’s pizza to pick up. The rest of the afternoon was a movie, football, and napping. We just had a snack for supper. We watched another movie, Dateline, and home improvement shows. Thank you God for time spent with you and church friends.

It was 52 degrees for the morning walk. I left the house at 6:00 am heading to Dade City to have breakfast with a couple of church friends. After breakfast we went to the church Sunday school building to pick up the tables and chairs to take them to Sharon and Bill’s for our Sunday school Christmas party this evening. When I got home I visited with Cheri as she was finishing her breakfast. I got cleaned up and left at 11:15 am to take Donna Perkins daughter Kathy to the airport. It was around 1:30 pm when I got home. We had a late lunch while watching some TV. We turned off the TV and both napped for over an hour. Then it was time to get ready to head out for the Christmas party. We had a good time and were 34 of us, a lot of good food. After the party was over we guys loaded the tables and chairs and returned them back to the Sunday school building getting them set up for tomorrow. Cheri and I were both tired and went right to bed when we bot home. Thank you God for a blessed day and spending time with friends.

I had another good walk this morning, sure is lonely without Dennis. They will be back on Monday. We got the laundry going this morning and after the washing and drying we got the bed made. We left the house at 9:50 am heading to Wesley Chapel to have the car serviced. It took a lot longer to get it done as we had the transmission fluid changed. We stopped at Applebee’s to have lunch, so no supper tonight. On the way home we stopped at Wesley Chapel Wal-Mart. It was really busy and took a while to get checked out. Never understand why they have so many checkouts and only a few open, a lot of people waiting. When we got home Cheri worked on getting the cranberry salad made for the Christmas party. I went over to Donna Perkins to see what time we needed to leave in the morning to take Kathy to the airport. This evening we went over to Larry and Denise’s to play cards and the girls were the big winners. Thank you God for helping us through this day.

I got my 2 mile plus walk in again this morning, 51 degrees and I was over dressed, got hot before I was done. We got the laundry started this morning and then headed out to the flea market. I had to buy a bag of kettle corn, been a couple of years since I last had any. We also bought some books. On the way home we stopped at Kacey’s to put the stickers on her house and car. After lunch we went over to Mike and Pam’s for a visit. It has been a long time since we were together. It was after 4:00 pm when we got home. Cheri fixed us a hamburger and fries for supper. This evening we watched a home improvement show, Homestead Rescue, and Life Below Zero before calling it a night. Thank you God for a relaxing day and time spent with friends.

Wow! Another month has gone. My morning walk was good but long as no one to talk with while walking. This morning Cheri was busy with her house work and me on the computer. We left the house at 11:30 am heading to church. Pastor Randy message was about Psalms 59, He makes it so easy to understand what King David wrote. We were supposed to go and see friends after church but they weren’t feeling well so that got canceled. We did stop and got the new house stickers and also house stickers and license plate sticker for Kacey Barker as she is still in Michigan. From there we headed back to Zephyrhills with a stop at Jersey Mikes for sub sandwiches for a late lunch an early supper. I got a call form a party here in our park that wanted me to remove an ADT alarm system which didn’t take very long. My afternoon nap stretched into the evening while Cheri watched a couple of movies. We thought we had several shows to watch but they were repeats. We did watch a home improvement show, Survivor, Tough as Neils, and NCIS. Thank you God for time spent with you and keeping us safe and healthy.

It was colder at 41 degrees for the morning walk. I left the house at 6:20 am heading to Dade City for my accountability group breakfast and Bible Study. There were seven of us this morning and finished Romans chapter six. On the way home I stopped at Lowe’s to get some table leg protectors to keep from scratching the floor. Then a stop to fill the car with gas. While was there I got a call from Dennis and Sue telling me their son had just passed away and wanted me to take them to the airport at 10:45 am. So I headed home and got cleaned up while Cheri was doing the Tuesday house work. I already had to go to the airport today to pick up Kathy Willis (Donna Perkins Daughter) at 1:30 pm. So after we dropped of Dennis and Sue we went to the cell phone lot to wait for Kathy to come in. We dropped off Kathy and stayed for a visit with her and Donna. It was around 3:30 pm when we got home. Because we missed lunch Cheri fixed us pancakes for an early supper. This evening Larry and Denise came over to play cards, Larry and I were the winner tonight. After they left we went to bed and watched a little TV before calling it a night. Thank you God for blessed day with friends and safe travels
