Fear Fades When We Trust The Father

Been a long journey, which continues to this very day. Hope you are having fun and feeling and doing well.

Chip away, Go Frogs

Looking up, smiling, and let's do what we can do well, and leave the rest to the rest. Have fun with it.

Oh Well, and with Love

Yes, that is my mother, she is 92 and losing her memory, but she still recognizes us on a good day.

What Must That Be Like?

Just can't get there from here? Consider the source, if you will.

Looking Better

Yep, that injury to your loving face from falling is improving, Merry Christmas, mother.

Merry Christmas

Building the blocks one choice at a time.

Merry Christmas

Such Fun seeing little ones, soon to be exploring on all levels of learning and life, enjoy the simple Joy of being alive and young.

Merry Christmas

That is the Joy of a happy Elizabeth, how very lovely to see and share. More Joy to follow in the coming days. Merry Christmas.

Chipping away one splinter at a time.

It is still standing, are we still moving right along through thick and thin?  Hope so.

Wednesday, December 17, 2014

Yes, smile when that happens.


Stuff happens, to all of us, not to worry or get in a hurry, smile when you say that.

Email

Just don't. Why not call or come over to say "Hi"?

The Noise

Continues, not to worry, that too will end.

Oh Well

One of the joys of life? Sitting around with a bunch of guys who have unique perspectives, good humor and stories well told. Thanks, Bob, Carl, Jerry, Jim, Don and of course Marc.

and then? It was time.

A happier day at home, a treasured memory, thank you.

Holy Ground

Could be the ground under these beautiful colorful flowers and leaves, or where Joshua stood. It is all Holy Ground. Be here at this moment. Dr. Kevin Elko, "Be Where Your Feet Are." It works one chip at a time.

Complain about what?

Complain about what?

Not worth the time or aggravation, correct it and learn from it, sorry.

Friday, December 12, 2014

Deeper? or Broader?

Do we explore the universe or simply concentrate on deepening our understanding and relationship?
Just curious today.

Thursday, December 11, 2014

Stuck?

It happens, sometimes we need to step back and look up and smile, other times a kick in the pants might be of service. Just depends on how we are wired and where we happen to be on a given day.
Wouldn't you agree? or do you have another idea you might like to share?

Round To It

When I just can't seem to get to Home Depot to buy cleaning supplies thank God for Amazon. When my mom falls down and hurts her head, thank you, staff for being their when I can't so she can get the help and treatment she needs. We all play our parts.

Sunday, November 30, 2014

Oh Well,

Fellowship, conflict, turkey, stuffing, and plenty of pies? Oh Well, let's enjoy the good of it and forget the rest.

Be Thankful and full of Joy

Be Well, Have Fun with Today, and Be a Bold Blessing

It could be a smile, or chocolate chip pancakes or a hug, or a shoulder to cry on, or money. Who knows how or who we can help today.

Saturday, November 22, 2014

Wasn't that fun?

Nothing like visiting with grandchildren, feeding them, laughing with them, and seeing them wonder and wander, thanks for the mind opening experiences, kids.

Short Winter in Dallas,TX

Why is that? Well we could be lucky or it could be God's design but it just doesn't stay cold long here, may well get another freeze but not this wet warm weekend/

Wednesday, November 19, 2014

Plugging Along?

We can do better than that, but not to worry or get in a hurry, just keep the vision in mind and take a step toward it.  Okay?

Pressing On, Regardless of Results, and You?

She we get older and tired, and at times confused, but we press on, regardless of the results. Let's be cheerful along the way and excited about each adventure, right here and now.  Okay?

Easing back into it.

Yes it is cold and it did snow in Dallas, Texas, but we are easing back into the world, looking forward to getting over what ails us, and having our pool equipment repaired. What a blessing Eddy Fuentes has been to this family.

Nothing Like a cold snap

To knock off accuracy and make shells not function properly or was it my bifocals? Did not seem to bother my son J.J. all that much.

Wednesday, November 12, 2014

Wow, what a day

Power shuts off at home? How did that happen? God only Knows. Office, calls, skeet shooting in freezing cold with high winds, won the worst shot, nothing like old age and bifocals to make us have a great big John Checki Laugh, seeing a 25 year client PUTC, picking up the check, getting it off to the provider, and having a fine meal at home, negotiating some special dispensation for my wife who does what she does daily, then on to the next stop. Oh? and TCU is in the Final Four College Football Playoffs?

Happy Wednesday, Y'all.

Trees are turning pretty Fall colors in Texas, the temperature dipped below freezing, great day for a roaring fire and a lovely afternoon with one we love, wouldn't you agree?

Veterans Day, Thank You for Our Service.

Yes, some of us, learned how to shine boots, march in formation, shoot a weapon,  take orders, peel potatoes, and look forward to getting a leave. Lovely experience for me in Fort Polk, Louisiana. Wow did I learn a lot. No, not the lessons most people learned, sorry, that's a totally different story and if I live long enough, I might get around to telling it. In The Mean Time, Thank You for Volunteering, and/or reporting, training, reporting, doing the duty, and coming back alive. Go Frogs and Aviators.

Monday, November 10, 2014

USPS mail at the office not at home, oh well, thought tomorrow was Veteran's Day.

No kidding. Not to worry, there will be a Thursday for some of us. Hasbrouck Heights High School class of 1966, approximately 140-150 graduates, 7% gone (died) by this year 2014, wow, what a surprise, at least five of us were in the U.S. Army, back when Viet Nam was a War, and yet.... No I did not nor will I pretend to have gone anywhere East of Louisiana, during that war, yes, I did volunteer, and was inducted and served, but that is a story I'll tell another time, not today. Thank you Veterans who served, here, there and where ever we were assigned. May God continue to Bless us.

One More Than We will order?

Hardly ever a great idea, wouldn't you agree? Especially if we are not already home.

Sunday, November 9, 2014

What Would That be Like?

Still can read, and write, yet, the hearing is gone, and the acumen wavers, there are smiles and laughs, that is the best we can do after a while, wouldn't you agree?

Saturday, November 8, 2014

Look What they have done to our song, Ma.


Yes, multi-generational photo's on the phone, isn't that fun?   Ma,?

Not Sure How This Happened?

Follow up, Follow up, check the work, the process, the intent and the bottleneck. Never give up that process.

Thursday, November 6, 2014

We are not special?

Trucking Along, How About You?

Yes, the wine country (Napa Valley, CA) was fun, look forward to more of those wines being delivered to us here in Dallas, TX, sooner rather than later.

Wednesday, November 5, 2014

Wow, that is just too bad.

Not a day goes by, without surprises and lessons learned again and again. Who lost what who just has to have this or that.  Silly, or as one would say why tell me?
