Thank you

I just wanted to say thank you for all the wonderful comments that everyone has been leaving. I also wanted to say thanks to Kati and Shannon for giving me these awards. I think the last award I received was for perfect attendance in Grammer school. That's not true, I got a bunch of awards when I was in the Navy. I even got a letter signed by the President when I retired.





I can't believe I have had over 5000 visits to this blog. I must be doing something right. One of my neighbors who reads my blog and is now refering to me as "The Preacher". Did I miss my calling? I am working on tomorrow's post today so yall come back now, ya hear. (that's southern for please visit again)

Have a blessed Wednesday everyone.

I wouldn't be surprised if preaching turned into being your thing. Just as long as you keep on blogging about it :)

Congratulations on that 9 pound loss!
We're working to get 50 pounds off my husband in hopes he can cut out a lot of his insulin and maybe...maybe...maybe someday be free of it completely.

Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper

Were havin fried chicken so crisp and hot, With tatters and gravy make sure and take a lot. There’s green beans and fatback and biscuits with butter, And cold cold milk, straight from the udder. And fer desert, get ya some pie, There’s sweet tater, apple and of course yer favorite shoo-fly. YUMMMM YUMMMMM Hee Haw was one of my father’s favorite shows. He loved it for the ummmmmmm music. Or so he said. This morning, I was thinking about what to have for supper. A couple of things came to mind. First there was some chicken in the refrigerator but I remembered Salmonella and decided not to fix that. I bought a beef roast yesterday but now I am having second thoughts because of possible Mad Cow Disease. I could always make a salad but we might get e-coli from the lettuce. Ok the only thing left is water but with all the mercury and arsenic in water these days, maybe I will just sit quietly and breathe. I just hope there isn’t a smog alert. Then I thought why not just go out for dinner. The...

Pictures from Wadmalaw Island. Martins Point plantation as it stands today. (site of "The Notebook") Bohicket Creek. Shrimp boat at Rockville. If you are coming here from the "Time" article, please feel free to look around. I didn't find out until today that they used a link to my blog. Welcome. Very quickly, My wife and I got married at this plantation. It is right around the corner from where we live now so if you have any questions about it, feel free to email me and ask. In a few days, I will post some more photos of the house. I wrote an interesting story about the plantation as my last post. Check it out by clicking here . Thanks to my son, Gregory for taking the pictures. He is making a power point presentation for Irving House Winery. You can see it if you come for a wine tasting.

Thankful Thursday, We can do this

Hello everyone and welcome to Thankful Thursday. To tell the truth I woke up this morning, unprepared, thinking that I would only write a goodbye post and graciously bow out of blogging forever. Life isn't easy for me these days. I have more problems than most people would be able to deal with. Between family, work and financial commitments I am just about broke. My mental and physical bank account is drained and there is no relief in site. However through it all, I keep getting little glimpses of hope and that keeps me going. When I logged on this morning to make that goodbye post, I had some great comments on my last post. Those little comments (along with some really strong coffee) gave me the strength to keep moving and not give up. So here are the little things I am thankful for this morning; I am thankful for the person at work who told me this week that they didn't mind helping me because I am a nice person. I am thankful for the two 100's that my youngest son brough...
