What we did on Mother's Day.

We were invited for Mother's Day breakfast at the Elks Club in Port Saint Lucie, by Christa, (daughter in law) .

Her is the gang, Cashlyn, Kayden, Christa, friend, Judy, Les and my little girl Jeanne. I went up and got us orange juice and toast. Hey, the food was great and very inexpensive. I found out on very Sunday they do this. You don't have to be a member to enjoy breakfast. They offer you eggs (anyway) bacon and sausage, toast, biscuits and gravy and orange juice and cranberry juice too. 

I think it was only $10.00 

It was very nice of Christa to invite us and just sit around and get caught up with each other. 

Afterwards we said our goodbyes and headed back home. 

We are not really too much today. 

Oh, we need to make TURMERIC. Hey, my baby has made this for us for a while now. It really does help with aches and pains and just seems to help make us feel good too. 

It really kind of easy to make too. We buy ours's at Publix (grocery store). All need to do it cut it up and put it in water and bring it to a boil and shut it off and let it set. Then get your strainer and pour the liquid into a pitcher and then put into smaller bottles and refrigerate. 

 

I think we filled 20 some bottles and just put them into the refrigerator and enjoy whenever you want to.

Hey, I was told not to have more than one a day. 

All I know it really does help my body, and the taste is not bad. Sometimes I add lime juice or something like that. But at the end of the day, I have more energy and just feel better. 

Reading my Bible. I am in 2 Kings chapters 13 and 14. Folks I am sorry in this book it just keeps telling us how the kings did evil and just sad to read to see how God was pretty much just letting these kings do what they want, and it seems like it always ends not to good. 

All I know it our God loves us, and He just wants to listen to Him and do what He tells us. 

So, folks my prayers are that you are seeking Him and asking for his wisdom, and we need to be willing to listen. 

 

It's so nice when family comes to visit.

Well, this is Friday evening. Jeanne's cousin (Chris) came into town and will be staying with us until his doctor appointments are taken care of. So, we decide to go to the movies. 

Going to see The Accountant. Before we went to the movie. There is a real nice restaurant right across the sidewalk. Casa Amigo's Mexican Restaurant. They have two of them. One here and the other is on US 1 heading towards Jensen Florida. That is the one we usually go to. But as w planned to go to the movie, this works out much better. 

This is Chris, Jeanne and me. Here we are just cleaning up and getting ready to go across to the movie. 

The crowd was just coming in after we ate. It really was a great time to eat and get caught up with Chris. We went to the movie, and it was really not as good as the first one. But still enjoyed it. 

Next morning is Saturday and Flea and Art's Craft Market. 

This is Connie's Tent. She sells orchids. She has been doing this for many years. She has her daughter (Pam) helping out today. Plus, her grandson is always there with her. The reason Pam is in town Butch Connie's hubby is having some medical things going on. So, she is helping here and at home too. 

We are checking out different foods to eat. Chris wanted tacos and Jeanne wanted a Gyro sandwich. 

Well, got the food and sat down on the cement benches that going all the way along the shoreline. 

The weather was a little cloudy but is sure had a nice breeze. Plus, the view was very nice. 

There is most the time a band playing under this tent (like). These guys were playing Rock and Roll. 

brought back some good memories. 

This is my cousin Debbie and her hubby (Jon) and I little girl Jeanne. They drove in town to spend it with us this afternoon. So, walked around the yard and then sat inside the house and got a little caught up. 

We planned on going out for lunch. So, we went to the Square Grouper. It's on Hutchinson Island (south). It right next to the Jetty. We all got something to eat and just enjoyed out time. 

This was our view and it sure was beautiful. As our time was winding down. We walked out to the parking lot and said our goodbyes and had some big hugs too. 

Debbie and Jon are now driving north to their daughter's house in Melbourne, Florida 

The reason is Sunday is Mother's Day, and they are going out and celebrate that special day with her and her hubby. So Debbie and Jon will drive up there and they already have a motel and are all set to just relax at the pool and each themselves. 

Okay reading my Bible. Today was 2: 1-2. Here is talking about how Elijah and Elisha are traveling together and it's time for Elijah to be picked up by a Chariot of Fire comes alongside Elijah, and he said his goodbyes and climb into the chariot. 

It's a sad part for Elisha, but he understands and now he is taking Elijah's Coat and is ready to be used by God. 

Folks each morning God has a plan for each and every one for us. 

Now we need to listen and just do it, and He will guild you and bless you every day. 

 

Hello everyone, I really am trying to get caught up. This is May 8th Thursday evening.

Okay why are we here? Well Jeanne was asked to help out dishing out the food for this FFA award banquet. The building we are in is Indian River Community College. 

We got everything in order and now waiting for them to come and get it. 

I really couldn't take pictures while the folks were coming up to get the food. But we sure were busy. That just kept coming. 

Afterwards we all had a chance to get some grub. 

After servicing everyone, they all went back in and the banquet went on. 

Meanwhile we started cleaning up and putting the food that was not served, put it in the warmers. 

It's kind of funny. This morning our Principal Alfonso made a announcement, that all the teachers are welcome to come out tonight and get themselves some good food and enjoy the banquet. 

So while dishing out the food we were very sparing. Didn't want to run out? 

After we put everything away. Chet Gray was talking with our helpers, what the plan is now. 

This building is brands new. This is Indian River Community College. Yes, this collage is in Fort Pierce. 

It was a beautiful banquet, and we all had some fun eating brisket and chicken and all kinds of sides. 

Well, I still am reading my Bible. But today I finished up the blog before here and it took me a while to get is done. 

But by God's GRACE, I got is done. 

I promise I will share with you the next couple of chapters I read. 

My prayer is that you seek Him and just trust Him too. 

 

This is April 26th Saturday and a day to walk around this great Orchid Show in Vero Beach.

Well, we were here about three months ago. So, Jeanne wanted to see what else they might have this time. As we walked around, my little girl found a couple of orchids she wanted and brought them home and ready to be repotted and put under one of the Margo trees. After we left here, we took a drive over to the north bridge, Hutchinson Island. The reason was the week before I took Don and Meg over there to show them the new bridge that is being built. 

Jeanne was asking, maybe we could stop at Littel Jim's Restaurant? Sure, why not. So, we pulled in and took a short walk up to where everyone was hanging out at. The bar, we walked around and looked into the small store there, selling t shirts and hats plus other things for people to buy.  I asked Jeanne what do you think? The reason I asked, this place a packed. people everywhere. Really no sitting room to have lunch and it was very loud too. I know my baby is not into crowds, to tell you the truth, I am not anymore. I used to enjoy going to busy places. Thinking yes, this my kind of place. Not anymore. Sorry to say, the older I get the more I love just being with my wife and that makes me very happy. I love having family around and just enjoying their stories and all that is going on in their lives. But when it is over, I love just going home and relaxing and even taking a nap. 

So, we decide to leave and maybe come back during the week when the crowds are smaller. 

Okay today is Mom's Day. We will be going to breakfast at the Elks Club in Port Saint Lucie. We are meeting a few friends and the grandchildren. I will be sharing in a couple of weeks those pictures. 

Okay today I read in 1 King 18-20. In this 19th chapter talks about how Elijah ran away. Chapter 18th The reason is Jezbel sent him a message saying, May the gods also kill me if by this time tomorrow I have failed to take your life like those whom you killed. Now what she is talking about. Elijah (himself) and 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Asherah, who are supported by Jezbel.  They all meet on Mount Carmel and got two bulls. The prophets picked the bull they wanted to sacrifice. Placed him an altar. Elijah told them not to set fire under the bull. He told them to call Baal, they started out and got louder and even started cutting themselves to get Baal to send down fire. This started in the morning, BUT there was no reply. Then they danced wildly around the altar they made. About noon Elijah began mocking them. You'll have to shout louder, he scoffed, for surely, he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or he is relieving himself. Or maybe he away on a trip, or he is asleep and needs to be wakened! So, they shouted louder and following their normal custom, they cut themselves with knives and swords until the blood gushed out. They raved all afternoon until the time of evening sacrifice, but still there was no reply, no voice, on answer. Then Elijah called to the people, "Come over here! They all crowed around him as he repaired the altar of the Lord that had been torn down, He took twelve stones, one to represent each of the tribes of Israel, and he used the stones to rebuild the Lord's altar, then he dug a trench around the altar large enough to hold about 12 liters. He piled wood on the altar, cut the bull into pieces, and laid the pieces on the wood, then he said fill four large jars with water and pour the water over the offering and after they had done this, he said Do the same thing again! And when they were finished has said, now do it a third time! So, they did as he said, and the water ran around the altar and even overflowed the trench. Then Elijah the prophet walked up to the altar and prayed, "Oh Lord, God of Abraham. Isaac, and Jacob, prove today you are God in Israel and that I am your servant, prove that I have done all this at your command. Oh Lord, answer me! Answer me so these people will know that you O' Lord, are God and that you have brought them back to yourself. Immediately the fire of the Lord flashed down from heaven and burned up the young bull, wood, stone, and the dust. It even licked all the water in the ditch! And when the people saw it, they fell on their faces and cried out, 

"The Lord is God! The Lord is God!

O am sorry this was so long, but someone out here needs to turn their live to Jesus Christ today.
