Good Morning.
.
Today's weather report June 7th 2011.
Mix of sun and clouds. Near record high temperatures. High 34C. Winds light and variable.
Sunshine and clouds mixed. Near record high temperatures. High 94F. Winds light and variable.
That report makes me smile, with just a good shower today and I would feel a little better, it is fast becoming dry here at Dads Tomato Garden, but we have tried to give the tomatoes a little water about every other day.
.
Shooting My Universe Here is one that I always and as many do make time to look at it. Thanks Steve. DAD.
.
It is now 4:40 A.M. Tuesday morning, I awoke at 2 A. M. and I could not go back to sleep, I said to myself it is to0 early to be writing a blog, what can I do with the time, and here was my thought why don't you just sit here sipping on a cup of your x bold coffee and think of all the blessings, all the good things that have come your way in the past years of your life, and try not to have one thought about a few times when I may have been discouraged, they were few anyway.
....
I know that these blessing began early in life. A good Dad and Mom who were so kind to me, they began taking me to Sunday morning meetings when I was a very young boy, I should always Thank them for that.
.
When I met LaVerne in 1935 at one of our church conventions and fell in love with her, and we were married Nov,29th 1935. Then I did realize that I had so very much to be thankful for. LaVerne was known for her kindness and love for every one, at her funeral one of her favorites songs " Live for others every day, Be a blessing while you may" was used. The years that we were together were the best of my life.
....
I could never forget what my two children have meant to me, most of you know them both Jim and Mary, it seems that I just grew up with them, we were together at work or play they were there. I have pulled them many miles on Douglas lake where they were expert water skiers, and the blessing of it all is that they are still with me, and since I an old man now they are now helping me to keep on going a little longer. Ain't I fortunate, I got the best bargain. DAD
....
I had better stop this, it would take more than one book to tell you everything, but it at least gives you a little of what went on in my young life. Now why don't you sit down and count your blessings, and I know that it will be as the song says, " You will be surprised what the Lord has done"

ENTRY # EIGHTEEN HUNDRED & TWELVE

Good Morning.

"Time is so precious-do not waste it.''

"Begin the Day with God."

This view of the mountains in The Smokies is always a good thing to view in the early morning as the sun is coming up. It helps us to be thankful for all that God has prepared for us in nature. The link is below. Dad.

It is too early for me to be sure but I do think that I am feeling better this Wednesday morning. I did get a lot of rest the last few days, and I know that has helped me.. But I want to tell you another thing that has helped, I received so many emails and comments from my friends wishing me well, it touched my heart. We all need to appreciate our friends more than we do. DAD.

Now as soon as we have our hot drink coffee or tea and I finish this blog I am headed to the outside where I love to be. Everything is ready, sit down and smile..

Wait just a minute I can't go outside until I have checked on those two beautiful Shelties, Oreo and Misty you will always find them right here. Sara's Dog Training and Sara will be close by taking good care of them. Thanks so much for showing them to us Sara, they bring us a lot of pleasure watching them get their training. And what a wonderful trainer they have. I want a Sheltie so bad. DAD.

Since I have been taking it easy for a few days I have been watching the humming birds out side my office window. ( see the picture up above ) the feeder is so close to me that I can almost touch it. They began coming here the 1st of August in droves. They are a pleasure to watch. Dad.

What to take to bed with you - not a joke .

Pretty neat idea. Never thought of it before. Put your car keys beside your bed at night. Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your Dr's office, the check-out girl at the market, everyone you run across. Put your car keys beside your bed at night. If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car.. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around. After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there. This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.
P.S. I am sending this to everyone I know because I think it is fantastic. Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone. My Mom has suggested to my Dad that he carry his car keys with him in case he falls outside and she doesn't hear him.. He can activate the car alarm and then she'll know there's a problem.

Please pass this on even IF you've read it before. It's a reminder.

This above was sent to me by my good Friend rilmich. Thanks.

We had some cooler weather on Tuesday. Several thunder storms passed over in the afternoon and the temperature fell fast into the 70's for a while

AOL has the prediction for today ready. Here it is.

Today-- 8/12/09
Variable clouds with showers and thundershowers, mainly this morning. High 84F. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 60%.

It's time to go and since I am feeling so much better I don't want to stop, but I must. I tell you that it is wonderful to be able to smile and it really coming from your heart. I feel that I can do enough today to pay for the coffee that I drink.

If every thing continues to be good today you can look for me at your door real early on Thursday morning. I am going to Smile today and I want you all to join me if it is possible.

I am glad that I have you as my friend.

BYE BYE DAD.
