It is Whit Monday here. We all have OFF here.

Does anyone out there know what is Whit Monday? I have heard this from some friends here, it is the 50 days after Easter Sunday. That means it is Peacost Sunday the day before. This island goes on holiday the same as England would have. So this day was a day to relax and do some Bible reading and just enjoy the time off.
I got up early and did my reading and then left for a real nice bicycle ride. This time I rode around the whole island. I have done it before but not as fast as this time. It only took me 4.25 hours.

I am looking forward in going over to Florida next month. I will (hopeful) do a nice ride there. What I do is ride to the train station, get on with my bike. Ride down to Miami, (79th Street) get off and ride to South Beach. It will take me about a hour or so. It is so beautiful down in that area. Riding is nice, the traffic doesn't not bad. I have been riding down there for over 5 years. It is nice and relaxing. I love listening to some music.
Today is pretty much gone now. So I will talk with you later on. May He bless this day the ones that are coming. Be ready for His coming.

I had a opportunity to help out my cousin.

It has been a while since I have trimmed and cleaned out her gutters too.  Oh, the reason I am here now is because Jeanne and her sisters pl...
