Wonderful Wednesday

Wow it is Wednesday already. Where is the time going? I am busy as a beaver these days at work and at home but at least I am able to work. The clouds have begun to break up here and we have warmer weather on the way. How could I not wake up happy? And if that isn’t enough, look what I got in the mail last night:



It was from Sonya over at “Truth for the Journey”. She has a wonderful blog and I enjoy reading it and participating in Thankful Thursday every week. I won a contest over there last week and this was the prize. I have heard about this book and wanted to read it so I put my name in the hat and I won.







Also I am excited to be getting so many readers even though some of you are shy and don't leave any comments. I want to invite any new readers to leave comments when you visit, especially you visitors from far away places like; Canada, Mexico, Japan, Latvia, Denmark, Ireland and Germany just to name a few. Those were locations of some of my recent visitors. To tell the truth I don't even know where Latvia is so if you are from there please fill me in. So to all of you ghost visitors here is a VIDEO just for you. It's another one of those feel good videos that make the guys say ewww but I like it. Make sure and watch it all because the ending is awesome.





Have a great day,

Greg

I liked this book a lot. In fact, today on a another blog, I made the comment that "words are my love language." People throw those phrases around a lot now without realizing who has if not invented them, made them part of popular culture.

I like to visit some post that come from Italy, there great but the translator doesn't work very well, and not at all on comments. I don't know if it is on their end or mine, like if I need to change the way it interprets

Oh o.k., I started highlighting mine with a different font color. It is raining severely bad down here. We have drained the pool 3 times and it looks like it is due for it again.

Hello and congrats on your book win. I won a book on a blog recently too. Visit me and check out the one I won in my sidebar. Sorry I'm not from Zimbabew or Athens or anywhere exciting. I'm just from Michigan.

If you visit my blog, you'll see 2nd Cup of Coffee's comment that "words are her love language"

Come by and give me a read.

Hey Gregg,
Good book, congratulations on winning it! I had a copy, but I loaned it to someone I was counseling. Never saw the counselee or book again! So, I assume the book helped them so much they never had to come back! There should be a chapter in there on "Return this book to its rightful owner!" Eventually I will get another copy.

I liked the video, too.

If you get a chance I have a post up today on why we read and write. You might like to participate in that. wb

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...

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.

The legend of Flat Stanley (A Horror Story)

Image
There are a few things in life that upset me: Spiders, rude people, unruly children and spilling my coffee to name a few. But nothing gets my blood boiling faster than hearing the name Flat Stanley. On the surface, Stanley sounds like something innocent, but I am here to tell you that he is evil and has the power to tear your family apart. Flat Stanley was the brain child Dale Hubert, a third grade teacher from Ontario Canada. Back in 1995, he decided to start this project to inflict pain on unsuspecting parents and students as well. The concept is simple: You take a picture of Flat Stanley and decorate it. Then you cut it out and there you have it….Flat Stanley. Then you send it to other people and they take stupid photos of them with Stanley or you take him on vacation with you in order to ruin your vacation and Dale should be shot or better yet put in a pot of boiling oil and slowly fried and tortured and and and Ha Ha….Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha….Whahahahahahahahaha Sorry this happens every ti...
