Well Saturday was a total fun play day that ended with a surprise 60th birthday party at our neighbor and friends house that started around 4'ish. Nancy was completely surprised and even more surprised when she found out that I had known about the party and failed to give any hints that I knew. Everyone was to keep it a secret especially from me because they all say "I can't keep a secret". Oh well now we know I can.
The day started with my usual 6 ish roll out to my morning routines that start with a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble and then spent some quiet time with my Creator. I've learned that Paw Paw is scheduled for a total hip replacement on April 3 so we will head north on the 30th so as to see him before the surgery. We will make an overnight stop at the cabin on the way up and back. I do believe the winter's hard freeze's are over for this year so we will open the cabin from the winter regiment.
We had planned on being at the Seminole Rec. at 9 to meet up with our Bridgepoint Family as we were promoting the opening day(service) which is Easter for our new campus church at the Rec. We will have a live band, campus pastor but the message will be by video from the Tyrone Campus. We had a huge float and Nancy and I rode it along with several others as well. Some of our youths walked the 1/2 mile parade route passing out bracelets and waters to those watching. We got lots of high 5's, cheers and clapping along the parade route as our float played some lively music. Needless to say we were definitely the top attraction and we hoped that brought attention to our motto or goal which is to "help bring folks closer to GOD".
We got back just before noon and then settled into some lunch before Nancy took off with Amy and the kiddos to look for a possible pet. Ava is so allergic to pets that causes her to break out in hives so they will forgo that notion. Sam and Tyler met up with Bobby and Gabe at the Yankee's ball park in Tampa for a great time right behind home plate. I finished up a read and then headed to Home depot to pick up the extra two boxes of flooring so we can finish that project. Hopefully we can have the installers finish up this week and do the quarter round as well. I need to paint one more bedroom and then I will be finished with this redo or renovations that started with the kitchen and progressed through out the house.
Well Nancy had no idea we were planning a surprise for her 60th but the Botbyl's and Tracy's were planning this at first without my knowledge but I picked up on a couple of remarks that gave me the inside scoop. Nancy and I headed up to their house around 4'ish and there was no one there but I noticed the addition of some items but hadn't quite figured out how and when. We were all sitting out on their back patio and keeping her eyes from the front of the house. I was notified everyone was coming up from our house and then into their front door for the surprise when old"eagle eye" spotted Annsley and Ava coming up the sidewalk. Nancy walked around to the front of the house and then she knew something was going on when everyone on the walk up yelled surprise. She was completely surprised. Bobby's family, Amy's family, GG, John's Perry's Family, Betsy, Neil and Danielle plus Kathryn. Patrick didn't make it as he was home in Dade City with a bad cold. We had a grand time and the eatin' once again was terrific.
Well Kathryn spent the night with us as she didn't want to make the hour long drive. She will go to church with the Botbyl's as their soon to be daughter in law is getting baptized this morning. This will be our last Sunday at the main campus then we will transfer to Seminole for two practice Sunday's before opening the service to the public on Easter Sunday. Don't forget to worship today with other believers and honor our Creator. Pray for our nation and for those who want to make the nation a shining city on a hill with our Judeo-Christian principles, freedoms and liberties. Pray for those who have NO honor or respect for our constitution and who are corrupt in their thinking to allow foreign philosophies and religions to become mainstream.
We have been a blessed nation and there are those who want to see us fail totally; unfortunately some have even been elected. We have allowed corrupt politicians to gain a foothold and have allowed those who hate our way of life so much they are trying to destroy US(A) from within. It's only with the grace of GOD in His helping with defeating the Clinton's and Obama's in the last election that we still have hope. Now we must stand up for what is right; to protect the innocent unborn, defeat the crooked politicians, vet those who seek solace here from their cruel governments and defeat the biased media and once more honor our GOD and the principles set forth in His Word, LATER
