A Dream Come True:

A Dream Come True:

 Hello Everyone:

Have not posted a blog for some time, so today is the day. Today is a special day for me that has been in the works for about the last year and a half. 

My Granddaughter, Bekah started driving school about that time and also starting working part time after school hours. It is always good to be able to dream and make plans, so this blog posting is about the plans Bekah made back then. She told me that when she got a job, and also got a car, she told me that she was going to come pick me up and take me to either breakfast or lunch. 

All this time, I have kept this promise in the in the back of my mind. Well today, that dream came true. For both myself and Bekah. She got her license about two weeks ago, and last week, I received a text stating that today, Wednesday, May 27th was going to be the day. I actually drove to her house as she wanted to go a place that was closer to her home, so I did, and our journey began. 




Now; you must understand; I don't like being a passenger in any vehicle, but today, I had to put those thoughts aside and be driven to our destination. It's quite something to remember this young woman being born and growing up through the years, and now will be a senior in high school, working and driving herself around. 

Another strange thing is the fact that most of the time, when a grandparent goes out with a grandchild, the grandparent pays. Its just very weird, scary, and unnatural to sit there at lunch and see my granddaughter take out her debit card to pay the bill. Don't know if I'll ever get use to that idea.

When all said and done; I had a great time being in her company. Bekah; I just can't express my love for you, you made this Papa's Day; or for that matter, how much I love all my grandchildren. 

Blessings to all:

Something A Little Different Today!

Hello Everyone:

First; let me start off by reminding you how this past Winter was here in the North East.

The first picture was taken from my bedroom window...

























This shot is from our patio door
























As you can see there was a lot of snow covering everything this past Winter. We moved into the building where the above pictures were taken in December 2014. During this Spring, the weather has not been of the sort, where you could go out onto the patio and enjoy the sunshine. Now; I must be honest, my wife loves sitting out in the sun, but not me. I will always seek the shade to be more comfortable.

Today, Monday, May 4th was the exception; I decided last night that today, after sending out the "Word of Encouragement" that I was going to do as little as possible. Matter of face; I made up my mind to spend a good portion of the day sitting outside on the patio.
























Early in the morning the sun comes up and hits our side of the building, bathing our patio in bring sunlight, as there is nothing to keep it from doing so. However; after about 10:30, half of the patio goes into the shade, and by noontime, the entire patio is all shaded. My kind of place.

My chair:
























My wife's chair:
























Today was so enjoyable, that I may even go back outside after dinner.

Well; short blog,I know, but just wanted to share with you the what I did, or did not do today; I hope you had a great day as well.

PS; I might even try this again tomorrow; maybe start a new trend for myself.

Blessings:
