Big deal, right? Happens every 365 days, but hey, this could be the one! This could be the year I finally keep that stinkin resolution! This year I resolve to keep my mouth shut more at work. Actually, I should probably practice that no matter where I am. Also, I will try to be a calmer driver, but it's difficult being the ONLY perfect driver in Maine! OK, I let that out of the bag, but it feels good to brag!
Some of you know that mom is fighting cancer. Continued prayer please, and thank you. Mallory is due to pop any day now, adding another girl to the family! Bella Rachel Cain is just waiting for that perfect time that only neonates know. SOON.
Worship time today! We have been unable to join our church family for the past two weeks, and I am grateful we will be meeting today! I sure am missing those precious loved ones!
Still exercising the camera when the opportunity arises! Check out Facebook for new pics. Next December will present great photo ops with the end of the world and all. I will post those pictures as I take them so they can be viewed before we all perish! I wouldn't want anyone to miss them!
What a crazy winter, huh? I think we've had a total accumulation of 6 inches of snow this season! AWESOME! I love it! I'm hoping we've seen it all for this winter, and we'll coast through without another flake! That said, I expect to receive death threats from all those snowmobilers for that remark. To them I can only say, clearly I am praying harder than you are!
Still meeting at the Cockpit Cafe, Sanford Airport, every other Friday for the Acoustic Jam! It's open to the public, come play or listen! Next Jam date is January 20, 2012, at 7:00pm! See ya there!
Till my next post, be well friends!

Labor Day 2011 - ALREADY!!
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!

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.
Be Well Friends!
