Saturday

Well the morning started out the usual way with our quiet time and lite breakfast(cereal and banana) before heading out to the beach. WOW was it ever a gorgeous morning, a nice breeze, blue skies and not to humid.

I must tell you a little about the Motion Film Fest held at the channelside area in downtown Tampa. Nancy and I volunteered along with 6 other members of our house church for Element from Pinellas. There were 10-15 other volunteers from the Tampa area as well. The attendance was lite the first night with I would guess 50 or so paid customers. I understand the second night(Sat.) was supposed to be well attended. The films were all made by amateurs, I think although several that I saw could have been shown on the big screen, they were that good. A few were "what was that all about"and some were very dramatic or down right spooky. I only saw 6 before we left at intermission, so there were another 18 or so to be viewed on the second half of Friday and then all new films for Sat. were shown. Bobby did a good job of organizing this first time event for the Tampa area.

The beach was so nice and Nancy and I did a couple miles walking in the surf as well as basking in the sun. I did a little swimming and the water was delicious. After about 2 1/2 hours we headed home for lunch then Nancy spent the rest of the afternoon watching all the stories about the Derby horses. Wow wasn't that a great race for an unknown horse at 50-1 odds to win by more than 20 lengths. Mine Than Bird will probably be our next triple crown winner if he continues to run the way he did yesterday.

We did dinner at the Botbyl's and Carol did the whole shebang. Great food and lots of fun afterwards with a game of Golf(card game). Nancy Jean won in close finish.

Well its time to get ready for worship this morning in Tampa at Element Church. Check out the website@Iamelement.org Later
