Cleaning up the boat, Don has been asking about going out. March 5th.





It's kind of crazy how the boat just sitting on the side of the house gets so dirty. But it only took me about an hour and half, so we are ready to go out. 



We all got up and loaded the boat. I am not sure what time we left the house. But it sure was a beautiful day.  This is March 7th. 


We left Stan Blum Boat Ramp. It on Hutchinson Island, it sure was a great day to go out. Now we are only riding out to the cannel (Jetty) and then go back into the Indian River and head North. 





This is the way we started heading north. 




It's kind of crazy how when the tide was going out. The island just appears. This pelican just found a place to laid and enjoy the sun. 


This is looking back south. The bridge is huge and going to be a great added view. 


I guess this speed boat, broke down and it was more north the last time I saw this. So maybe someone is trying to fix it up. It's kind of funny how this boat is just sitting here. There is a lot of boat here. 


Saw this kid on a wave board. Kind of neat looking. Like Back to the Future. 






We are heading back home and now we can take this off of our list and go to the next item. 
Their time here is winding down, and I keep asking what would you like to do tomorrow. 
Today, I read the Book of Jonah, while this time, I was waiting for the Space X had a launch at 8:36am. 
Sad part is I didn't see the launch at all. I guess it blasted off heading more east. 

Boy, this book God was trying to tell Jonah just do what I (God) tell him. JUST GO TO Nineveh. 
But He went the opposite way. But God did His thing, Jonah was on a ship and God cause a storm to happen and boy were the crew scared. They were calling out to their god and then they cast lots and Jonah was the one God was causing the storm for. So, they went to him and asked all kinds of questions and then they tried saving themself by throwing everything overboard. They were scared that they would die. But Jonah told them to throw him overboard and they would be saved. So, it came down to yes, we don't want to upset God anymore and threw him overboard.
The seas settled down and the storm stopped instantly. Jonah went down in the sea and God arrange for a great fish to swallow Jonah, And Jonah was inside the fish for three (3) days and three (3) nights. 
Okay I did read the whole book this morning, But I really don't want to tell you what happens. Please get your Bible out and You read The Book of Jonah. 
Folks I get so excited when I read my Bible, I just love reading it and sharing with you guys. 
Your Bible is a Personal Book for You to read, once you start reading it you will look forward to getting up and reading it each day. I know someday, I just get up and run out of the door. I feel like I missed read it. 
He Loves You Very Much.

This is Tuesday and Wednesday. Pretty much stayed around the house. Jeanne was working.



On Tuesday evening Jeanne grilled some steaks and just a relaxing evening. 


On Wednesday morning I went and helped Jeanne with something at school, then came home and asked what would you like today to do??? So, I thought maybe the Jetty would be really nice this morning. 
You can see how our beaches are so gone. The tides and the higher tides have been pulling all the sand out and destroying them. 






Still was a beautiful day. 
Got home and I went back to school and helped Jeanne get out of there and headed back home. 
As we driving home Jeanne got a phone call from Micheal. (her niece) She was telling Jeanne that Payson (daughter) won all four (4) Counties Award. The sale of her cow would be at 7pm this evening. That sounds great, we get to go to the Fair and see her and the family will be there too for support. 



This was the first cow out for Auction. Boy she was huge and heavy. I think she weighted 1300 pounds? 


This is our grandniece (Payson) You can see how she was trying very hard to pull it. 
But this cow won in all four (4) counties. Beautiful and massive too. I think 1225 pounds) 
 




Oh, I guess I have been spelling her name incorrectly. PAISYNNE.  Sorry, I am not a correct speller much. Oh, this is her brother LEIGHTON. 
This is where they kept there two cows at during the time at the fair. 
Afterwards we all just started walking around to see what kind of food there is? 


They always have different kinds of people acting as statues. 



We just stopped to rest a few minutes. Oh, this is Jeanne (wife) Don and his wife Meg. 





I saw this flag, it sure looks like our neighbor's dog Smokey. 




I think we walked the whole fair and Don was somewhat impressed on how big it was. 
I think Jeanne and I got a funnel cake, corn dog and I know there was something else. Don got curry fries. It was a great evening. I know I was very tied at the end of the day. I think Jeanne drove us home. 
Folks I have been so busy (Being, Under< Satan, Yoke) I have been trying to post our time on my blog and have been running out of time to read my Bible, POOR EXCUSE. 
I will go out and read it now. 
I love you all and please don't get sidetrack like I do pretty much everyday. 
Jesus LOVES YOU.

Okay, I needed to drive down to Fort Lauderdale, I had to get some paperwork form the county.


So, we had to park at a parking lot garage. So, we are here, why not walk around and check this area out. It has been a while since I have been in this area. Riverwalk. So just started next to where the office build is and headed south to the river. 


We started going along the river heading east. Folks this place has gotten so much better than the last time I was down here. (2004) I used to ride my bike down here and ride along the shore. I don't remember the beauty before. They have really cleaned up this area and it sure was so nice and relaxing too.  


The buidling you are looking at is the air vent for the tunnel below us. If you read the following pictures you can see what this is. 




Then dug this tunnel out many years ago, it's US 1. I think this is the only tunnel in Florida. 





Now my crew is looking at where to go next. 


We heard some people talking about a ferry that is free and will take you back west and drop you off. So we waited about 5 minutes and boarded the ferry. 











While on there the gentleman explained a few house and buildings to make it like a tour guild. 


That is the ferry we rode back to the parking lot. It really was nice and the cost is FREE. But he asked for a tip. So, we gave him something. 


It's kind of hard to see, but there is a gentleman playing his piano. He kept playing the same lyrics, but I think he was blind and looked like he wasn't doing well. So, he had a tip jar, next to him. I hope folks gave to him. 



I think this area; there was signs on trees and the area itself. 







We are back where we started out at. headed towards the car and left. Now we will be going to Char Hut, my favorite place to get a hamburger plus onion rings. 


Now this picture shows the Old Riverwalk Area. We didn't stop here. We are getting very hungry and want to get back home before dark. 
Folks I didn't take the time to read my Bible. I am sorry for that. 
I am trying so hard to keep up on everything that is going on at school and around the house too. 
Just to let you know Jesus Christ LOVES YOU VERY MUCH. 
Just have to ask Him into your heart and He is there. 

Thess guys are just reminders that He is with you each and every day. Just trust in HIM TODAY. 
I try each day to hand some of them out to whoever is willing to take He. 
What I see on the news and just so much happening around the world, we all need PEACE OF MIND. 
He Jesus, will give it to you. JUST ASK HIM INTO YOUR HEART PLEASE
