From Jim: "How's this for 2 big crappie. The biggest was 15 inches, and the other was over 14 inches. We caught only 6 keepers, but the size was good. I'm safe at home. Love, Jim" .
Mary and I are proud of Jim, he is my son and her brother and he writes Tennessee Granddaddy six days each week. DAD.

Too bad it is a rainy weekend in Albany. This is Tulip Festival Weekend and there are over 200,000 tulips in bloom in Washington Park. Albany was settled by the Dutch and every year the city is alive with Dutch Tulips. The streets are scrubbed by girls in dutch costumes to begin the event. I thought you might enjoy this video showing many of the different varieties and colors of tulips. If it were sunny I'd be there taking my own photos. Joan

.Life's book
No matter what else you are doing
From cradle days to the end,
You are writing your life's story,
Each day is another day penned.
Each month ends a 30 day chapter,
Each year is the end of a part.
And never an act is mis-stated,
Or ever one's wish from the heart.
Each day when you wake the book opens,
Revealing a page clean and white.
What thoughts, what words, what doings
Will cover that page by tonight?
God leaves it to you, you're the writer
And never a word shall grow dim
Till the day you write the word finished
And turn back your life's book to Him.
Sent to me by John M. Thanks John that is good. DAD.

I hope to be here again in the morning. I will have my thought for today a little later today.

Morning Dad! I will be sorting though pictures to find some roses to send to you.
I hope you and Mary are doing well. I can't wait to hear about the trip to the grocery store!
Have a good day and don't work too hard!
I love you,
Vicki in Birmingham
Good Morning DAD...
This morning it is sunny but the winds are strong, about 25mph. So I'll work indoors today, after taking a coffee break with you. You have a lot of really good stuff for us to view and read today.
I hope all your bloggers will spend 3 minutes watching that amazing, awesome video of the US Navy Ceremonial Drill Team.
Or take the time to smell the tulips in Washington Park.
Life's Book is a good one. I especially like the lines you posted in "red"..
"Each day when you wake the book opens,
Revealing a page clean and white".
Once when my grandson was having a really,really bad day, yelling and being angry. To calm him, I told him that somewhere it was the beginning of a new day, let's close our eyes and pretend we are there. When we open our eyes it will be a new day and we can start fresh and make it a good day. It worked on a 6 year old and we had a wonderful day!
Hope those afternoon showers gently water your gardens. Enjoy the day. ...Sara's Mom
GOOD OLD TOMATOS - - - THEY ARE USED TO ENHANCE SO MANY DISHES. sam
Glad you had a good weekend and enjoying your coffee as usual this Monday. I'm getting my 2nd cup now. Have a great Monday!
I had a tomato sandwich today, it was yummy!! xxxxxx
Dear Dad and Ms. Mary:
That is a beautiful poem you share with us! and so are your friend Steve's pictures of white violets. We have purple ones here, and lots of beautiful roses in just about every color. Wishing you and Ms. Mary a beautiful afternoon. I'm thinking about another cup of coffee. Love from Jamaka and fams
