Sunday doing a couple of things.


This is Miss Wells' home. She called me on Friday asking about cleaning, her outside windows? 
Thinking after church (Sunday) I can do that? 
But I got another call from Randy and his wife Ellen. I put up Christmas lights around the front of their home (on Tuesday last week) and the wind blew some of them off the hooks. 
So after church I went there first. I just bought some wrap ties this week-end and use them to keep them up and in place. Prayerfully.


While I was at Lowes while in Winter Haven I bought this glass cleaner. Miss Wells told me that works and that is what she wants done on her windows. No problem. After I got Randy's Christmas light up again. I drove over there and washed her widows with this cleaner. She asked me to get down some Christmas boxes, in her shed. All is well. She was very happy and I was too. 


Okay, got back home and packed for my trip to Nassau, Bahamas. This bag is for Billy and family. 


What everything in there the weight was 49.5. Great 50 is the limit. 
Got my stuff all packed (in another bag) and ready to go south again and get on the Tri Rail. For the airport. 
My Lord has been very much part of all that has been going on around me and blessing me at the same time. 
Praise HIM.

Driving home, on Saturday afternoon, I heard race cars.


I took this picture leaving. But this is the race track I could hear from 655 highway. It was kinda neat to hear them. It brings many memories back to me.









I pulled in and looked around and saw it was $30. to be in the pit area. I just drove around and out again. 
Folks memories are very special to hold on to. But don't live in the pass. 
As I live in a retirement area. I hear many people talking about the pass. Like I said that is great to do, I have noticed more like the pass than now. 
Over all live your life to the fullest an see what God has for you today. 
As for me I am getting ready, ready to drive south again. This time to the Tri Rail and then to the airport. There I will be flying out at 2? pm. 
Meanwhile if you think of praying, say a prayer or two for Tim and Felicia. They are flying out of Wisconsin. To here and then over. We will be on the same flight. Maybe not with the snow storm. I have not head yet if they are for a go. 
I will try to keep up with this blog. But as going to the Nassau, Bahamas might not happen to often. 
I am looking forward in seeing old friends and just trying to help here an there.

I am putting Friday and Saturday together.


This is at Race Track gas station. I filled up my truck ($2.27.9) and went in to get a large drink. While coming back out I saw this. This young lady has her hood up. I think she was checking her oil? 
That is a very rare thing to see. Not just because she is a woman. But, every time I fill my truck up. I always check the oil and water. 
I know my truck has over 243000 miles on it. So I need to make sure she is full and ready to go. 


I needed to stop at the post office. There I got a stop order for my mail. While I am gone for those three weeks. 


This is Bonita's guest bathroom. She told me about a water leak that she believes is coming from under the bowl. But as I got down under the toilet. I noticed the tank was loose. So looking a little deeper. It is the bolts holding the tank in place. Thinking NO. But I just tighten them up and all is well. 



Plus the bowl was a little loose too. All is looking good now. I put a piece of paper towel under the tank for two days. NO LEAKS PRAISE HIM. 
I have tried to replace those bolts and sometime they just don't seal correctly. I even have had to seal them in with some caulk. 
But for now all is looking good there. 


This is Greg, you can see he loves to joke around and have some fun. 


Well while here in Winter Haven I have been seeing ads on the TV for $.89 pancakes, at Burger King. 


They were pretty good. 


While I was in Lowes for something. I saw this display for carpet cleaning. 
WOW $29.99 for 24 hours??? 
I went to Walmart thinking, they are pretty much the only ones that rent machines? 



Plus the cleaning solution was $4.00 cheaper too. 
Oh well I will remember this the next time. Maybe??? 
Folks I am back home now and getting ready to go to church and then I have a very small job for Miss Wells. Clean her windows with the garden hose cleaner. Not sure how good it works. But she thinks is is great product. 
Well as my time here is winding down. I need to get everything in the suit cases and be ready to fly out tomorrow. 
So please take the time today to stop by your church and have a nice talk with our Lord Jesus Christ.
We all need to thank HIM for all we have and don't have.

This was our Thanksgiving dinner.


This be my cuz Greg. He brought over the dinner from Tampa (Largo) area, Publix. Not sure what he paid? But it was more than $48.00. The reason is I think last year it was that? 
I asked but he told me not to worry about it. I really thought that was very nice of him to buy our dinner. 




You can see Bonita and Greg did all the work for dinner. (Really was more late lunch 3pm) 



It really is nice to be with family during holidays. As we sat down, Greg prayed for our meal and families that don't have much to be blessed. Thank Him for what we do have, family. 


This was my plate. I was a very good boy and ate everything on it. But at the end I was full. No seconds? Maybe I did go back for more turkey and then watergate. 


My Cousin has two small kittens. They have the run of the house. They are sure cute and just trying to figure out what all these things are. She has boxes laying all around the house for them to have a place to play. 
Well this is Thanksgiving evening now. I was sitting there thinking, at 6 pm Walmart starts their Black Friday deals. I really thought about going. I asked if they wanted to go? 
Both said no. Plus I really don't have any money to waste on toys. 
I will be flying over to Nassau, Bahamas on Monday afternoon. 
I have already spent more than I should getting ready to go over. 
Oh well, it is Saturday today for me, I am at McDonald's for my coffee. As I write this blog I just wonder how my family up north are doing. I have not checked the weather for a while now???
Here it is 67 and a little over cast. Not to bad.

I relly hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I sure did.


Well yesterday I was telling you about playing darts. I took a picture while sitting here yesterday at McDonald's. But it would not down load then. So I was talking about doubling out. You need 22 points to win the game. So if you look at 9am on this board you can see the number 11. The smaller rings gong around the board . The out side one is doubles and the inside one is triples. 
So you need 22 points to win. Shoot at the 11 and the outside ring. YOU WIN. 




Okay as my first day here in Winter Haven, Bonita and I rented a carpet cleaner. I went to Walmart and got it. It cost $37.+ to rent for 24 hours long. The cleaner was $25.+ So if you can find someone that does this for a living, it might be cheaper to have them come over and do the cleaning for you? 
Oh well need to get it done and ready for family. 



These are the two small kittens that my cousin has now. They are so cute. Running here an there. 




The cleaner did pretty good. I brought over my plastic runners from my home for now, to use. 




Okay got that done, cleaning. I took the renal back and needed to pick up a couple of items for Thanksgiving dinner. This place was crazy. The shelves were some what empty.  


Oh here is the sweet potato's are???? 



The marshmallows were not on the shelf but in the middle of the aisles. 


I now all this is gone by now. This was for Thanksgiving Black Friday deal last night, at 6pm. 




Everything was wrapped up and notes saying will not ring up until Thanksgiving after 6pm. 
Well I wanted to go last night, but why??? 
I really don't need anything. There are some wants??? But maybe during or after Christmas?
So I really hope and pray you all had a wonderful day yesterday and wish you a great Black Friday.

I am putting up more Christmas lights.


Well this is Donna's home. I was here last week putting up her lights. But she went out an bought another string of the them. So I added clips to hold them up and they are all up now. She told me after (26th everything is 50% off or more) Christmas she will be buying more lights to go all the way around the house. 



This is is Randy and Ellen's home. Last year we did the hard work putting the clips up and then the lights. So the light went up easy. But she had a bunch more of displays to put out this year. It took me about 3 hours to get everything out and up. 
There is a couple more items to put out. But she told me the she would be able to to that later on. 


These are the Dart teams. On Tuesday evening we play darts as teams. I think there are now 18 teams. 



Hey we tried our best, BUT lost two more games.(2/wins and 4 lost) We are scoring well. But it it the double out we keep loosing. 
Playing 501 near the end of the scoring, you have to double out the last score. 
Example: You need 22. So you shoot for double 11's. I thinking you might be reading this and saying what is double out? 
On the dart board there are 20 number go around the board. 
But on each number there is a spot for double the number or even triple the number.
I took picture of a dart board but I am using McDonald's inter net Not working to good. 

Folks today is Thanksgiving Day. 
I really pray that each and everyone of us, really try to remember to thank our Loving Lord for all we have and what happens in our lives. 
Some days are not always good ones. But we need to still thank HIM for those days too. 
The reason is if we had great day each day. We would not need HIM.
PRAISE HIM THANK HIM TOO.
