Yikes! The summer is GONE! What the heck happened?? Well, we are heading into the most beautiful time of year! I love the autumn. I love the leaves turning, I love the late campfire smells, I love the crispness of the air, and I love preparing for the impending holiday season!
Catch up: Some of you know my mom has been fighting cancer. She still is, and I am hoping she wins that fight! If you are one who prays, please do so! Appreciated!!
We've got a long weekend ahead of us! Labor Day means 3 days off from work! NICE!! Went to a jam at the Cockpit Cafe last night (awesome time), attending (officiating) a wedding this afternoon, then off to Alfredo's in Wells at 6:30 for a little live music and merriment! Then on Sunday we'll have time with our worship group, a time I always look so forward to! We usually spend 4+ hours together, but the time always passes so quickly! That brings us to Monday, Labor Day. We haven't got anything planned, so I think maybe we'll sit at the mall, on out favorite bench, and just people watch! That's always an entertaining time!!
Enjoy YOUR long weekend too!
Be well friends!

Another 30 days has gone!
Wow, has it been a month since my last post!Yikes!So much has happened! We are just about to break into August, and Summer's best! I am hoping it won't be quite as hot as July was! A very dear friend will be getting married this August, and I get to be in the wedding party!! I am thrilled! I have known this young lady since she was 5 years old!! What a journey it has been watching her grow into a wonderful Christian woman. Sometimes I can't really believe so much time has passed!
My own good wife and I recently took a jaunt to Vermont. We stopped at Derby Line to see the library that has the Canadian border marked through it! Then we went to the Von Trapp family lodge, and on to Ben and Jerry's! It was a great time!
After serving in Pratt and Whitney for 27 years, I have applied for a job elsewhere. I won't say what it is just yet, in case I don't get the job. I will keep you in suspense until then!
Group worship in Windham today! Can't wait!! I made pulled pork for our mealtime!

Time Flies!!
Hey folks!
Been a while, hasn't it? The last post found me returning from Ohio to get Tina on a plane so she could get home due to her brother's death. She has been there since, and will be returning on July 6th. THANK THE GOOD LORD!! I sure do miss her!
Mom's final chemo treatment is also on July 6th. Recently a brain scan was done, and no cancer was detected there! In September she will have neurological testing to find out why she has a balance problem!
Holiday weekend on tap!! Can you believe it is already July?? Anybody out there have BBQ plans? Leave a comment! As for me, I will be having dinner with my son and my father, son's treat!!
Be Well!

Life goes on, within you and with out you
"Life goes on, within you and with out you" - John Lennon
Tina and I left for Ohio to visit my brother and his wife and son for a few days. It was a great time indeed! His wife had set up a BBQ for me to meet his other siblings, and his mom, and it went great! Alas, very early Monday morning we got a call that Tina's older brother had passed away. His name is Siong, and he is 58 years old. He had just retired from his gov't job, and was beginning his own business. We don't know when, or where, or how. That is life. I am surely going to miss by dear brother-in-law.
Enjoy your loved ones.

Mother's Day and the Mall
Happy Mother's Day!! It's gonna be a bright and beautiful day! We will be serving some sandwiches and chips and drinks to all those that happen by today! We have four mothers in our family, so there should be a few visitors! What are you all doing for your mother today?
Well, Tina got home safely last Thursday night, and I took that night off from work! We spent most of Friday hanging out at the mall, on our bench, people watchin! I wonder if there are readers out there who pass us by. Hmmm. I got my Gloria Jean's Mint Chocolate Bomb, and after a while we went to the food court to eat. Tina went to Panda Garden, and I went to Johnny Rocket's, of course! Have you ever really observed food courts? No matter where you go, every food court is the same! There is a burger place, Chinese food place, a pizza place, a soup and salad place, an ice cream place, and ALWAYS a plywood place! Just for kicks I went to the food court at 9am a couple of weeks ago. Nothin but seniors!! They were everywhere; walkin around the inside perimeter of the building, and then sittin in the food court sippin coffee and talkin! They were all gone by 10:30! It was a mass exodus! It was as if some silent alarm, only they could hear (probably hearing aid feedback) went off. Just 30 minutes later they youthful crowd started coming in, and I headed for my bench for some eye filling sights! I was NOT disappointed! Is there a kid out there today who knows where their back pockets are supposed to be? When you have to sit down to reach your back pocket, your pants are too low! I saw one young man holding his pants so they wouldn't fall. I could see ALL of his underwear, and part of his thighs, as he went by! I don't get it. What is the point to this fashion? But hey, it gives me something to watch as I sit there, for hours, amused.

Here comes Easter!
Have I ever mentioned how much I enjoy the holidays that demand family gatherings? On Easter this year, there will be 11 of us all eagerly awaiting the carving of a leg of lamb, and a large roasted ham! Of course, we will have the mint sauce, and the sweet potatoes, and the veggies, but more importantly, there will be games! This is a family tradition, one that allows us to witness the sudden awakening of intelligence, though I won't say whose! There is always alot of chatter, which gets on some nerves, and constant nibbling, which I particularly enjoy! Let us also not forget the candy!! Chocolate will be abound, and jellybeans, and those awful little marshmallow peeps! Ugh, I can feel the grainy grit in my teeth already! So why do I eat them? Hey, it's Easter!
Be Well Friends!
