DADS SATURDAY ENTRY THREE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED TWENTY FOUR

Be true today let not tomorrow with anxious fears becloud thy soul, be true today fret not  nor sorrow thy cares upon the Savour roll.

Good morning.

I have a Happy mood today for many reasons, ones is that I am writing this journal to be read on two days, Saturday and Sunday, I do not write any more until Monday morning, that does mean very much to me, it means some relaxing ,rest and renewing because of our Sunday morning meeting, I could not make it without that meeting, I don't like to miss meetings. Then I will have something to say on Monday, if I can come up with something interesting.

I do miss the Oxygen treatment on these week ends, we only go 5 days, we will be back there early Monday morning. I am afraid that Dr Hall is going to kill me, that is kill me with kindness. His staff has went all out for me always very kind and smiling when I see them. DAD.

Our schedule is not very much for this day, mostly resting and preparing our meeting room, and of course a nap or so with our buddy Prince.

It is still cool here 40  degrees at 4:15 a.m.

    DADS SATURDAYS ENTRY THREE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE

    Live for others every day, it will bring you a lot more peace than living for yourself. Dad.

    Good Morning.

    I hope that all my friends are doing well this favorite morning of the week, we all are looking for a little renewing and relaxing so we will be better able to meet the enemy of our souls on Monday morning, don't worry he will be there waiting on you

    I have wanted for a long time to tell you a little of what goes own each morning at the Hyperbaric oxygen therapy from the time we arrive until we are tucked in our car for the  trip home. What I am going to talk about is kindness. I am not going to call any names because I might leave some one out, just the kindness that we receive.

    Mary and I try to arrive in their parking lot around 9 A.M. them Mary calls to the office and in seconds there stands a young man with a wheel chair to take me to the waiting room where we are prepared for the treatments , and the lady  who meets us there is so sweet, she seems to know every one by their first name.

    Now the kindness does really begin. We are taken to the place where we enter by some of the kindest young men that you could ever meet.They make sure that you are seated and have blankets to keep you warm, then you are prepared for the oxygen, hoods and all that goes with it. And all during the two hour stay one of these young men stay with us,to watch over us and see that all is well. Now do you call that kindness. Dr Hall I do think that you have the best group of workers, that I have seen, they work so closely together with no complaints. DAD

    I did not get your permission to write this Dr Hall, please read it today and let me know if is alright , if not I can remove any are all of it,  Dad at white6416r@aol.com I hope to see you Monday morning.

     Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

    I have been told to always respect my elders. Its just getter harder and harder to find one

    and another good one

    They tell us that life begins at 40 but they don't tell us what kind of life

    These two above from Over The Hill & on a Roll

    Partly cloudy. Slight chance of a rain shower. High 26C. Winds light and variable.

    Mostly cloudy skies early, then partly cloudy this afternoon. Slight chance of a rain shower. High 79F. Winds light and variable.

    I am sure that you remember how I work on this Saturday journal. I keep it open until mid afternoon for any thing new that some of you might have to send me. this is the last one until Monday morning, but you can read this one all day Sunday

    Please use the side panels for more. So I am not gone just hanging around sipping on that Starbucks  x bold 'mm good.

    Sending my love to all the world, and I do think of all of you every Day

    Just a short note after our Sunday morning meeting , I feel so much better now, I believe that I can face what ever comes my way. Dad

    DADS SATURDAYS ENTRY THREE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED SIXTY ONE

    Good Morning to you on this Saturday morning, a favorite morning for all of us. We think of a little rest and relaxing  for the next two days. I am not so sure about us. We have been invited by Jim to a  cabin that he has on Douglas lake for lunch.

    My niece and here husband are going to let us ride with them, which we do appreciate. We will return in the early afternoon to get everything ready for our Sunday morning meeting.

    BYE BYE TOMATOES, yes the season is over, when you view Camera  # 2 today you will see a mostly vacant spot, but just give me a few more working days the first of the week and I hope to be able to show you a Wildlife Habitat that the birds and every other wild creature that comes our way will SMILE.

    friends who understand me better than myself,

    who support me through good days and bad days.

    They are like colorful anti-depressants that I take on different days.

    Real Age doctors tell us that friends are good for our health.

    Dr. Oz calls them Vitamins F (from Friends) and counts the benefits of friends to our well being.

    If you take Vitamin F constantly you can be up to 30 years young a "different" part of me...

    With one of them I am a polite,

    I joke with another friend.

    I sit down and talk about serious matters with one of them.

    With another I giggle at every silly thing.

    I have my coffee with one

    And dance with another.

    I listen to one friend's problems and give them advice

    Then I listen to another advising me.

    They are all like pieces of a jigsaw,

    When completed they form a treasure box.

    A treasure of friends!

    They are my friends who understand me better than myself,

    who support me through good days and bad days.

    They are like colorful anti-depressants that I take on different days.

    Note: I have done all that I can do so that you may make a comment, if it does not work it must be AOL's responsibility to check into this problem, other writers seem to be having the same problem. What I am getting here is that when I get to the end of this journal and ask to make a comment it only sends me to the next entry, and at the end of that  entry it will let you comment. Strange , come on someone and help me. DAD

    I am sure that you have noticed that the tomato plants on Camera # 2 are gone, yes the tomato season is over, but it will be back soon, until then this spot will be an improved Wildlife Hibatat for the fall and winter months

    It will take us a few days to get it set up and working properly. Watch for it. DAD

    The weather is always interesting to us, this below is for the day at Dad's Tomato Garden

    Today

    Showers and thunderstorms late. Hot and humid. High 33C. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 40%.

    Partly cloudy in the morning followed by scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon. Hot and humid. High 92F. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 40%.

    I am going to be real careful right here this morning . Yesterday  I must have done something wrong, I kept getting reports that you could not make a comment on my journal, so if it takes me all dad to write, so what if it is better. I am sure that I will be hearing from you soon, DAD

    " When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a manner that when you die the world cries and you rejoice "

    " Be true today, you may not have a tomorrow " DAD



    Good morning.



    This is one mornings that we all look forward to. We think of a few days of time to rest and relax and get renewed in Spirit and body, and the thought brings me my first smile of the day.



  • Dad's Outdoor Web Cam-1

  • Dad's Outdoor Web Cam-2

  • Dad's Outdoor Web Cam-3

    Through The Storms I did not know His love before, the way I know it now.
    I could not see my need for Him, my pride would not allow.
    I had it all, without a care, the Self-sufficient lie.
    My path was smooth, my sea was still, not a cloud was in my sky.
    I thought I knew His love for me, I thought I'd seen His grace,
    I thought I did not need to grow, I thought I'd found my place.
    But then the way grew rough and dark, the storm clouds quickly rolled;
    The waves began to rock my ship, my anchor would not hold.
    The ship that I had built myself was made of foolish pride.
    It fell apart and left me bare, with nowhere else to hide.
    I had no strength or faith to face the trials that lay ahead,
    And so I simply prayed to Him and bowed my weary head.
    His loving arms enveloped me, and then He helped me stand.
    He said, You still must face this storm, but I will hold your hand.
    So through the dark and lonely night He guided me through pain.
    I could not see the light of day or when the storm might wane.
    Yet through the aches and endless tears, my faith began to grow.
    I could not see it at the time, but my light began to glow.
    I saw God's love in brand new light, His grace and mercy, too.
    For only when all self was gone could God's love shine through.
    It was not easy in the storm, I sometimes wondered, Why
    At times I thought, I can't go on. I'd hurt, and doubt, and cry.
    But God never left my side, He guided me each day.
    Through pain and strife, through fire and flood, He helped me all the way.
    And now I see as never before how great His love can be.
    How in my weakness He is strong, how God cares for me!
    He worked it all out for my good, although the way was rough.
    He only sent what I could bear, and then He cried, Enough!
    He raised His hand and said, Be still! He made the storm clouds cease.
    He opened up the gates of joy and flooded me with peace.
    I saw His face now clearer still, I felt His presence strong,
    I found anew His faithfulness, He never did me wrong.
    Now I know more storms will come, but only for my good,
    For pain and tears have helped me grow as naught else ever could.
    I still have so much more to learn as God works in me;
    If in the storm I'll love Him more, that's where I want to be
    !



    I want to thank Joan Crane who lives way down south for the poem above, It came when I needed it so much, who told you Joan ?



    Just read the journal again and to remind you that the $6.00 price on the two books pictured above is wholesale only to businesses



    People might think they can order one or two for $6.00



    Wholesale buyers should buy a box of 20 to get that price.

But I hope that I can keep on going. I know that I have the help of my many friends world wide.



    Mary and I will be in our Sunday morning meeting. There is another meeting at 4 P M at Inspirit but we seldom get to go as it a little far for Mary to drive, and as you know Old Dad does not drive anymore.
