Labor I don't wish onto anyone. WEEDING. No fun, but much joy afterwards.

This is the rose garden that Jeanne's mom had while she was still alive. Folks after we moved into her home. I tried to keep the weeds pulled and have lost the battle, but not the war itself. 

Okay we put CPRESS MULCH in all of the garden areas. The weeds kept coming back. So I think two years ago or maybe more. I went out and bought 3/4" to 2" rocks. Bought it buy the truck load. I don't remember how much it cost. But I do remember how much work there was. I dug up the beds and put down the weed bearer black screening. Then brought in the rocks and filled up every flower bed and gardens around the fruit tree too. Weeds keep coming back. Folks I thought this would solve my trouble. It didn't help. Okay now I am going to pull the weeds out and pick up all the rocks and clean the beds out again. 

I started another project too. It is getting all the Christmas Decorations out the large shed. I brought them and put them in the living room and back tp cleaning out the flower beds. 

Okay where do I put the rocks I pick up? Well, this it the area I was thinking building a place to put the boat. next to the house and put the up railing all the way around the area that the boat will sit onto. I just put up one board for now. 

Okay all cleaned out and now what should I do? There is rose bushes still in here, so I don't hurt them. I just sprayed a little Round Up around the beds themselves. I drove over to Home Depot and bought 8 bags of BLACK MULCH. Thinking maybe it might make it look better? 

I put the black mulch down and Jeanne told me that she loves it, and it will make the roses pop with the black mulch. 

This is the next flower bed I need to clean out. This is the next day Monday. Oh, this weekend we drove over to Orlando and had a great dinner, and this restaurant called Shogun. 

We got to Orlando and parked the car and noticed we still had about hour or so before the restaurant opens up, 5:30pm, they open. So, we walked around the area and checking out different souvenir shops. This area is on International Drive, Orlando, Florida. 

These are old license plates. Yes, they are expired. Think if I was a thief wow just but one of these plates and steal this or that, no way to trace the plate? 

Maybe I should think like that? I just thought it was kind of weird, to see for sale. 

Now we both saw this sign and thought, wow, now that's a great deal. I have eaten at Brazilian Steakhouse before. I think it cost much more than that, $19.99 ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET. Yes, I remember now $40.00 single. 

Maybe next time in town? 

Okay it's time for dinner. 

You sit at a table that the chef is there and cook you whatever you want. The guy was funny, and it was a lot of fun to watch him, perform. 

It's only open 5:30pm to 10pm Thursday to Sunday. You need to make a reservation, before you get there. Kind of a busy place. The food was good and was sure did enjoy the show. The really nice thing about this trip was, we had a 50% off both of our meals. So, we saved for bucks. We were talking earlier that maybe we need to find a hotel and get some rest before driving back home. Went online after eating and found a hotel right down the road from the restaurant. Motel 6. yes, the price was not bad, and reviews were pretty good too. Total cost $106.00. Got into the room and the air was turned off, but the room was 57 degrees. So, I turned on the heater. Then looked in the shower and it doesn't look like anyone cleaned this bathroom since the last customer. So, no showers tonight. I hated not taking a SHOWER BEFORE BEDTIME. We got to sleep, but I kept rolling around and not a great sleep time. 

Got up and went down to the lobby and got our receipt and I didn't say anything about the room. I just wanted to get out of there and get home. 

Okay now it's Sunday Nov. 24th. Went Calvary Vero, then saw Jake and then drove over to The Pig and Fish Restaurant on Hutchinson Island.  Meet the grandkids and Krista. Had a wonderful lunch and drove home and relaxed the rest of the day. 

Kashlyn, Kaden and Krista and my little girl. 

Okay Monday is here and her I go again, cleaning and weeding out the flower beds. 

I got some of these pictures mixed up. I didn't put the black mulch down until Monday morning Nov. 25th. Ph, well but now you can see how nice the black mulch looks and prayerfully I can stay on top of the weeds.

So, today is BLACK FRIDAY. Why am I still home doing my blog? Well, we talked about getting up early and going Black Friday shopping. I thought why not let my little girl

 sleep in the get caught up on this. 

So, today I read Genesis 11 and 12. The Tower Of Babel. Folks I just know what I read and it's kind of confusing. The people were building this tower to hit the heavens, 11:7 Come, let's go down and give them different languages. then they won't be able to understand each other. (8) In that way the Lord scattered them all over the earth.: and that ended the building of the city. (9) That is why the city was called Babel, because it was there that the Lord confused the people by giving them many languages, thus scattering them across the earth. 

Chapter 12 Is about Abram, later called Abraham. Father of many nations. 

Folks all I know is at the end of the Bible Jesus Christ is LORD. 

Thank you for taking the time to read and look at all the pictures. I hope you enjoy my blog. 

 

Last Thursday evening Jeanne and I went out to relax.

This place is called the Square Grouper Restaurant. It's located on Hutchison Island. It's only a 10-minute drive away. We were here last Thursday, old friend (coworker) of Jeanne (while working at the Virgin Collage) was in town for that week. Visiting other friends and family. 

I am sorry don't remember Margie's friend is on the left side. Margie. then my little girl Jeanne. Margie and her friend had Nachos and Jeanne, and I had hamburgers. Margie used to work alongside with Jeanne. This is when she worked at Virgin Collage. That correct COLLAGE. She would have around 6 students for about 5 hours a day. Margie taught the like Freshmen's. Jeanne would teach the upper grades. She loves doing pastries. 

Okay our time with these two was enjoyable and Jeanne really enjoyed herself getting caught up with all that have happened since she has been teaching at Westwood Hogh School. We said our goodbye and Margie was heading back home in the next day or so. 

Okay enough about this evening, back to our evening. 

  

 

I don't think I have ever been in a restaurant that you have to be 21 years old before. I know the first time I have ever been in here, was on my birthday Dec. 17th, 2018. I would see Jeanne at the Crossing Church a few times and would ask her to go have some coffee or lunch, she would say, maybe next time? I was told is took me over a year for her to say yes. So, on the 17th, I went to pick her up and we went here for a quite time and just get to know each other. 

Okay, where I am going with this is, not sure. 

This is looking west along the Indian River channel. This is the channel we go out when heading out to the ocean to go fishing and site seeing. 

This is the east side, going out to the ocean. 

Look at that beautiful smile. She just loves looing out and watching the water go by and just relaxing. 

This was our dinner for this evening. Nacho's and they really tasted great. We sat here for about a hour or so. Another beautiful sun set and it was getting chilly too. I had my hoodie on, and it sure felt great. You saw what Jeanne had on, T shirt. She loves colder weather. 

So, I time here was very enjoyable and tasty too. 

Well today I started reading in Genesis. Yes, I have finished reading thru the Bible. I started reading on March 2, 2023. What i do each morning is. Read two chapters and the Proverb for the day. Like today is the 26th. Proverb 26 today. 

Getting back to what I read today. 

Chapter 1 and 2 of Genisis. 

Wow this is how Our Lord started the earth. it took Him 6 (six) days and He rested on the 7 (seventh). 

Thinking about this is very heavy and I could reread it again, just so I can understand it. 

It really is that hard to understand, but there is a lot to see. 

Just think God's timing is everything. 2 Peter 3:8 But you must not forget, dear friends, that a day is like 1000 (thousand) years is like a day. 

We look at Genesis and asked when God Created in 6 (six) days, about 6000 (thousand) years ago. This is based on the idea that the days of creation were ordinary 24-hour days and that the Bible genealogical records can be used to calculate the age of the Earth. 

Now that is what Google tells me, so, where id the idea of the Earth being Million plus years old? 

Folks, like I said earlier To God a 1000 (thousand) years is like a day for God. 

Folks I don't have the answers, but God's word does. 

Please start reading your Bible and ask him to help you. he is just waiting to help you. 

Where to start, I have been told many years ago, Start in the Book of John. It starts out heavy but after a few verses you will be able to understand, if not ask questions. 

HE LOVES YOU AND WANTS TO TALK TO YOU. 

 

Fixings and making food for the teachers and students, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO WESTWOOD HIGH SCHOOL.

Frist of all look at how beautiful this sky is. Thank you, Lord, for your artwork just for us to see. 

This is Nov 20th. Get to school early. Yes, this is the start of a couple of really busy days. 

Thanksgiving Lunch is almost here. Yes, we are feeding all the teachers and Jeanne's students. 

Here Jeanne is making the turkey stock for the gravy and other things she needs to make these fanatics lunches.

This the bread for the stuffing. 

I am not sure which period this is but these are a few of her helpers to make this all happen. 

Now this is Thursday morning. I know this because we are warming up the sweet potatoes and everything that we need for the teachers luncheon today. A,B,C, these are the periods for the lunches. 

After we served the teachers, the students get to eat some great food too. 

I think this is the next day for Thanksgiving lunch for her students. Folks all of these children helped us make this happen. It took us this whole week to get everything made and ready. So, my baby loves giving back to the children that help us make it happen. 

So, now this weekend is the start of her vacation for a whole week. So, today is now Monday Nov 25th.

We are so happy how everything came together, and everyone enjoyed some great food and just thanking Our Lord for everything. We are so blessed and highly favored, 

I am almost finish reading though the Bible. Yes, that means the Book of Revelation is coming to an end. 

I read chapters 21 and 22. I recapped by looking back in chapter 20:7-15. The Defeat of Satan.  

Folks these verses are very serious. #10 Then the Devil, who betrayed them, was thrown into the lake of FIRE that burns with sulfur, joining the beast and the false prophet. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever, 

It scares me to think what this means. FOREVER AND EVER. HELL. 

This doesn't mean after 10 years in prison you get out and are free.  

FOREVER AND EVER. 

Do you have a relationship with Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savor?????
