Thankful Thursday

Wow is it Thursday already? Where does the time go? It has been a really busy week for me so let me get right to my list before something else comes up. (Something did just come up but I am going to get this posted before I start my next assignment)

1. I am thankful for another great workout week. I have been pushing myself harder this week on my workout routine and it is beginning to show. I lost another pound, Whooo Hooo. Mary also pushed us hard last night at spin class and I am sore this morning.

2. I am thankful that no one was hurt in my little tree trimming escapade the other day. Things could have turned out much worse.

3. I am thankful that it is Thursday even though it snuck up on me. That means that the weekend is almost here which also means that Monday is right around the corner. It’s just another chance to put on my Monday morning happy face.

4. I am thankful that my boys are doing well in school and so far have had no major problems. I know there is a long way to go but it is nice to at least be off to a good start.

5. I am thankful for Faith, Hope and Love. I have Faith in God and that faith is growing day by day. No matter what today brings I keep hope that tomorrow will be bright. And I have love from my family and from God. Life is good!

Have a great Thankful Thursday,
Greg

It is always good to get off to a good start. I hope we will get off to a good one over here after Labor Day.

I'm in dire need of the happy blog, so I am heading over there.

Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper

Image
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.

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...
