Sunday

Well what another busy day. It started out with fowl music around 6 AM but we managed to sleep through it until around 7. We had our quiet times then the usual bowl of oatmeal with fruit before getting ready to head to Tampa for worship at Element Church with son Bobby who is the pastor. Next Sunday will be their 3 year celebration. He has so many young families and their baby count is way up there with more on the way and a new boy born just Saturday. Yikes don't drink the water there!!! The Florida Blood Services mobile was there as well and several us gave. I'm up to my first gallon given as for years the patrol disallowed us from giving while on active duty. Anyhow the music was awesome and the message was inspiring and then we all took the LORDS Supper together in a unique way, one that I had never done before. Bobby's last series of messages were on the priesthood of the believer so each of us served the other the bread and juice and recited to each other individually what the bread and juice represented much like the way CHRIST served his disciples, Awesome!!!!

After church we headed back to Pinellas as we were carpooling with Dan and Carol so we decided lunch out and we stopped at Chili's were we had a good lunch. They loaded us up with salsa and chips, guacamole dip, fajitas and bunches of different dishes. We were waddling when we came out and of course I was wiping the sweat from my brow as I love the hot spicy dishes. After we got home I got into the Bucs game and the Rays game so it was flipping back and forth for nearly 3 1/2 hours and both teams won, especially the Bucs as they were losing by 17 points at the half. Great games as the Rays pulled within 2 games of the Sox's with just about 10 games to play in the season.

Nancy was busy baking birthday cakes as we are having the gang here on Monday evening for a big dinner celebrating GG, Tyler and grand daughter Annsley's birthday's because we were planning on leaving Wednesday for the cabin; but as of now unless Pap gets better that won't happen until October; he can't drive because of the swelling in his feet and legs. She made Annsley a separate cake with princesses on top and I'm doing smoked ribs. Should be another delicious feast.

Well I had to set the sprinkler on the front yard as its finally dried out too much and the grass is turning brown from all the heat even though some yards are still draining water. The squirrels have my yard so dug up I'm starting to remember how Bill Murray felt in the movie Caddyshack with the gophers tearing up his golf course. Yikes these critters are a such a nusiance and there is nothing here to keep them in check. Oh well!!! We were so looking forward to being in the mountains for some cooler temps and mountain get togethers with family and friends but thats not looking to promising until around the middle of October when we have to come back for Nancy's doctor appointment and to winterize the cabin.

Just a reminder for those of you who checked out our Amway store the Nutrilite specials ends the end of this month(Sept) and I'm not aware of when it will run again; thats a fantastic offer our team only is offering, check it out!!! LATER
