America - the Right Way!! Staying Vigilant

here, there and across the globe | July 5, 2011 | Freepers of good heart everywhere

Good Saturday morning to everyone! Toby, we’ve had good rains all week. The downside, mosquitoes are proliferating.

[gulfcoast6]

GOOD MORNING! Nary a cloud in the sky, no breeze, starting off hot as all get out.

Not much going on here, just had some goodies for b’fast at the big house and being I am on ANOTHER diet, refrained from eating, passed up pancakes. I am seeking to loosing 40 pounds.
Toby

[Jemian]

Good luck on that diet. I’m having minimal success with mine, but I’m sticking to it, too. I have a least 40lbs to lose and I’ll do it or die in the attempt.

It is clouding up here and is supposed to rain today and tomorrow. Good!

It was a VERY emotional day yesterday as I watched several hours on my computer at work, distracting me from my work, but it was very important to watch this, praying for these brave astronauts, reading their profiles on Spaceflightnow.com, watching all the activities with the close out crew, watching the post launch news conference, praying for America and vowing to do everything in my power to promote America's continuation for human space exploration.

Thank you, Jem, for your thoughts for us.

[Jemian]

I can well imagine that feelings ran high all over your work yesterday. Are you planning a trip into the desert soon or perhaps fishing?

God bless the USA.

(on an unrelated note: I hate computers)

Thanks Jemian for your kindness and the ping!
Toby it is soooo good to hear your voice.
Two Thirds....we share your sadness and hope for the future.
lysie, dear friends....We press on!

* Toby, I can’t stop thinking about that little girl either, but we know she is with the Lord....and woe to those on this earth who would hurt a little child.
With your years of law enforcement, I bet you have special appreciation for those detectives, the judge and the state attorney who did their job very well, regardless of the outcome.

[Jemian]

Good morning! Have a blessed Sunday!

GOOD MORINING!!! The police did a great job with what they had, they just failed to prove what, when, where and why, we THINK we know but really don’t.

Allie is going to a church camp this week bout 150 miles north of us, will miss here this coming week.

Being that our services start at 1030 this morning I had better start my routine to get ready.
Toby

[gulfcoast6]

HOT already here today, nary a breeze in the air, time to start getting ready for church.

It was what is known as the "off Friday" where most are off, but I work them because it my most favorite day to work because there are never meetings and interruptions and I can really concentrate on my tasks. They all work 80 hours in 90 days so they have every Friday off. I work a straight 80 hours in 10 days. It was wonderful to not have any interruptions so I could concentrate on the mission in between work tasks.

The next trip I plan is to Kansas to see parents at the end of the month and then on August 3, I leave for the Cape to watch the launch of JUNO which happens on August 5 around noon EDT. Then a trip to the desert sometime later.

GOOD MORNING FROM THE MS GULF COAST, USA, HOT, MUGGY AND NO WIND AT ALL!!!

Allie is off attending a christian camp for the week, gonna miss that gal, sweet as can be, of course I take credit fot here sweetness to d and and she just smiles.

Hope to take a weekly jaunt to Sams and WallMart today, out of just about everything but coffee, I pick up something and D will put it back and get the cheaper brand, I see a can of what I want and just grab it.

I have a rocker on my porch, every morning one of my roosters will get on the back of it and rocks the house with his crowing, every morning I go out and tell his to watch it, he will be lunch if he keeps waking me up. He is better than a alarm clock.

Off to get some things done.
Toby

[Jemian]

Good morning. I know that you must miss Allie dreadfully. A week while you’re experiencing it, seems awfully long. But the time will pass and she’ll be back. She’s a wonderful girl.

It seems this is the season for Christian camps. Our church supports a Christian camp and they came yesterday to worship. Took up three whole pews, they did!

[gulfcoast6]

HI...Two appointments today, for knee and then for a vist with my every day doctor, don’t know why l won’t do but I reckon they are ‘spcial’ like they like my insurance company. Just glad to be around to be able to go to them.

The boys are doing so good, they love coming to pawpaws house as they have a free run of the place, including the fridge, I keep ‘special’ things in it for them like ice cream, fruits, drinks. Yes, I get insrutions not to give them things but hey, what are pawpaws for anyhow.

Back for the search for my keys, lost them.
Toby

[Jemian]

There you are! I, too, have been to see the doc today. Everything checked out fine. You’re a good grandfather.

Good luck with your appointments.

[gulfcoast6]

GOOD MORING!!! Got to ask, do any of the others check in on this site of all on the new one. SIL suppose to get it up fom me but I do thank you for getting on here every once in a while.

Do you get GEB on yout TV, the Oral Roberts channel on TV?
I am so impressed to see a collegs with the assemblies they have for the students, Never have I ever dreamed to see so many students walking with God. I am at heart a Baptist and grew in a Baptist church but because of my heat condition I have to go to a church close to where we live, it is a Assembly of God church. It is so much like the Baptist church I grew up in. Very structed. The kids can take and pick me up from church as they have a churgh across town they like. I am so proud to see them walking a Christian path. Tracy and Terry go on missions to Brazil every summer, sure wish I could go with them.

OK, it is off to the big house to see the kids, am going to do a ‘shack in the back’ cleaning today, it needs it.
Have a good safe, blessed day.

The docs I go to, as I am sure as the ones you go to, overbook, it is a sit and wait visit to see him. Yesterday they acutally for me to give me a knee shot and Allie went to school with one of the docs. He did come and said he was sorry they forgot me.
Toby

[Jemian]

Yes, they do come by sometimes and read your posts. You are a very important person to us. I’m still waking up this AM. It was the first very good sleep I’ve had in a long time.

I don’t think we get GEB. It’s not really a channel I watch. I don’t know very much about Oral Roberts or his university. His style is not one that I would enjoy and so I haven’t paid him attention. It always is wonderful when people follow the Lord, regardless of their doctrinal and denominational positions.

I thought Allie cleaned your shack before she left. Her week away is half ended! Yay!

[Jemian]

I have experienced your complaint about doctors. But, I went to a doc on Monday and a different one yesterday. In neither case did I have to sit and wait. That was nice. The first one was a doc-in-the-box and yesterday’s doc was a high priced opthomologist. My appointment was at 2. I arrived, signed-in, was the only one in the waiting area and hardly had sat down when I was called back. Very good service.

[gulfcoast6]

SIL suppose to help me get on the new place, he tried once before but couldn’t. Got to admit, I really miss keeping up with the ‘bunch’, so many folks have so much to say that makes sense.

Happy to report that we have some new baby chicks, the ‘old girls’ in the pen do nothing but be fed. Got 9 new chicks chiping and churping.
Toby

[gulfcoast6]

This doc I go to wse to come over to our home to see Tracy when we lived in town, he is George to me, not Dr and after his visit with me yesterday he left. I go back in a week for that second shot in the knee and he is going to hear from me. Tracy does not want me to but she knows me. Oh, I will be nice but will tell him I am dissapoited with his staff.
