ENTRY # EIGHTEEN HUNDRED & FIFTY TWO

Good Morning.
.
" Time is so precious-do not waste it ".
.

" Begin the day with God."
.
This is Monday morning and I am glad that I can tell you that Mary and I are at home, it feels good to be here this morning. We had a wonderful time in the four days that we were at our convention. I do need just a little extra rest today. I do wan't to tell you more later, but I may take an extra nap today. When you get 96 years old you will understand this a little better.

.
From the looks of my email I have several to answer, if you are among them I want you to know that I appreciate your mail and I will answer you just as soon as possible. Dad.

. We do need to see what AOL says about the weather in East Tennessee for this Monday.
.
Today.. 9/28/09
.
Windy. Mostly cloudy skies will become partly cloudy this afternoon. High 72F. Winds W at 15 to 25 mph.
.
. That don't look very exciting, but I will be able to take care of my wildlife today, Since there is no rain. I know that their feed is begining to get low.
.
I have been missing my friends Sara, Oreo and Misty. And I am in a hurry to go see them this morning. I need a Big Shelty smile to get me back in the right mood to do a little work this afternoon. Looking at those two Shelties will do the job.
.
I am sure by now that you know the way to Saras blog Sara's Dog Training this will take you right where you need to go. DAD.
.
What do you think about us having a cup of that good Starbucks Coffee I am useing the Sumatra + bold this morning, I like it very much. Why don't one of you pour me a cup sincc I am still a little tired. The link above will tell you a lot about Starbucks if you are interested. Dad.
.
As we were leaving the convention grounds yesterday afternoon I was thinking, what will be my thought for today. After hearing all that we did the only thing that I could think of was-

" Time is so precious. do not waste it."
.
You can see this above on my blog every day, and after sitting in the convention I know that it is so true. As I begin each day I would like to remember this. Dad.
.
Don,t forget to go see Jim this morning you know wher he is. Tennessee Granddaddy
.
I do need to stop, I know that I have not said very much. but after I rest a bit today I think that I will be able to go strong again. I am tired but I can still smile. Dad.
.
I hope that all goes well with you today, and we all do need to show all by our smiles and kindness that we are happy and content. We were reminded at our convention that whatever happens we should always remember that " God is still in control."

.
If all is well I will see you at 4 a.m. in the morning.
.
BYE BYE DAD.

ENTRY EIGHTEEN HUNDRED & FORTY SIX

Good Morning.
.
" Time is so precious-do not waste it "
.
"Begin the Day with God.".
.
These Monday mornings sure do come around fast. But I think that the most of us are glad to get back to our work. I do love to work I get tired sitting around doing nothing.
.
I think that a cup of that good coffee that I talk about would be good right now, its ready and I am ready to serve you.
.
I am sure that you will want to see Oreo and Misty this morning. I hope that they and Sara had some rest over the week end. I am sure that you already know the way to Sara's blog, if not here is the link that will take you there. Sara's Dog Training DAD.

," Give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.''

Thanks Joan ( Sara' Mom) for the nice thought above. Dad.


Below is a nice poem. Do you want to guess who wrote it?
.

All I Saw Was You
..
Married fifty years ago,
Before the fire they sat.
She took his hand and gently said,
“We’ve had a good life, Matt.
Remember how, the day we met,
The sky was, oh, so blue?”
“No, my dear, I really don’t,
For all I saw was you.”

“Remember our first date, my love?
I wore a brand new hat,
The wind came up and blew it off,
Don’t you remember that?”
“I’m sure your hat was lovely dear,
With flowers of every hue,
But I wasn’t thinking of your hat,
For all I saw was you.”

"What about our wedding day?
All our friends were there.
We had the clothes we’d dreamed about,
We made a handsome pair!”
“Of course, of course, my dear,
But I don’t recall my suit.
I know a lot was going on,
But all I saw was you.”

She snuggled closer to him,
On his shoulder laid her head,
He gently kissed her wrinkled cheek,
And as he wept he said,
“We’ve been together fifty years,
A couple loving, true.
And every day I thank the Lord,
That all I saw was you.”

Cam # 3 will be showing you more of the humming birds today. They are usually lots of them and the seem to be enjoying themselves. One thing that I have noticed about humming birds is that they love to feed in the rain and our weather is making them smile, DAD.

This is our friend Sara who lives in Italy. She said that she went hiking in Trentino - that is a mountain region, in Italy. She will be graduating from college soon.

.

I think that I could just write Rain for the weather report and not even look at what AOL says about it and I would be close to right . But we better listen to them. Here it is,

.Today..9/21/09

Showers and thundershowers likely. Humid. High 77F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 70%.

.

I am going to let this do for today. I hope to have a thought for today later this morning.

If I have left out something please go to my side panel. You might find it there. Dad.

I do hope that we can enjoy this Monday morning and not worry about it, we need to face the world with a smile and kindness and let them know that we are happy and content.

I will see you in the early morning if my life is spared another day. Dad.

BYE BYE DAD.
