Monday Morning May 19th..Happy Birthday to my daughter, Amy, 42 today..8 days to departure

Well Sunday was another hot day but a great day of worship both on line and here locally where Nancy and I greeted folks coming in the big front doors. We so enjoy all the hugs, handshakes and smiles as we greet all those leaving in the first service and all those coming in to the second service. We have one more Sunday in this position and hopefully we can do the same after getting back to our mountain church family as well in a couple of weeks. We so love the folks in both places and have been blessed to be welcomed by all. 

I had started the day much the usual with a 5 'ish roll out to my routines that begin with some quiet moments to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing, all seem to be holding with this post. I did venture out to hand water the gardens and harvest a mess of kale for one of the widow ladies in the church which we took with us. A couple other ladies saw this produce and wondered where it came from so now I have two orders for next Sunday which which clean out the produce from the garden this summer. I'm thrilled that i can bless some one with it instead of having to compose it back into the ground.

After church we met at a new eatery near the church at a Greek place and the food was delicious and plentiful but the best is from a couple weeks ago at the PHO Spot in the Largo mall, anyhow the lunch held me the rest of the day as I vegetated reading and watching some NHL hockey later in the evening. This coming week with be a busy one as we start packing as well as graduating ceremonies in Brandon on Tuesday for grand son Gabe and the again Thursday for Ava Mae and a graduation party next Sunday and of course getting the yards and gardens their final clean ups before loading the truck on Monday evening for an early morning start on Tuesday. I'm sure we will encounter lots more traffic as we leave the day after the Memorial day celebration, oh well, LATER

I was surprised that I was able to once again include of pictures on the blog but now that Nancy has an I phone its working again.
