DAD SHARING SOME GOOD THOUGHTS

The Secret
There is no place on land or sea;
On distant hill or valley fair,
In fruitful field or barren waste,
But lo, O Lord, I find Thee there.
In tumult of the noisy crowd
That throngs life’s busy thoroughfare,
In heart of nature’s solitude,
I find, O Lord, that Thou art there.
There are no heights in Heaven above
There are no depths of dark despair
There is no place in life or death,
But lo, O Lord, I find Thee there.
The secret of true sweet content,
Of quiet heart set free from care,
Is just the lovely certainty,
That where I go, Lord, Thou art there.

I love the poem above, it is such a comfort to us, and gives us peace of heart and trust in God as we read it, dealings that I have  had with men lately helps me to see that it does not pay to put to put your trust in mortal man, some of them ( not all ) will let you down..

Over in the panel to your right is a link that says “ Tomato Problem Solver” but you will need to go there to view it,do go you will find all that you need to produce better tomatoes than your neighbor, it deals with blight and other problems.I will have that link here in a few days, but you be sure that you go there now. Dad said so. Dad.

I am glad that I am beginning to talk more about Tomatoes and it will be mention a lot from here on out. Our Cam # 1 will be playing a big part in our fun when we begin getting our hands dirty putting these plants in the ground watching them grow until we big red tomatoes peeping out at us

We are having fun with # 1 until then watching Dad drink his x bold coffee and he even smiles at us when he can keep awake, but we even like to see him sleep, he works hard and he is due a little rest. Watch for him today.

Mary and I have not talked about any plans for today , Sunday we will be in our meeting, we do need to prepare for that important meeting.

I do not close these Saturday blogs

until late in the afternoon so I will be in and out all after noon.

I enjoyed this visit and today as I am .leaving you I am

I don’t know what to say about my mood this Friday morning. Some days things start off a little rough, but then as the day seems a bit better, so I am going to take a go at it and say that I am in a happy mood, if things don’t work out I can change it later.

 

Jim and Beverly are coming down this morning to do a little computer improvements and he has promised a meal at the Ruby Tuesdays, I am ordering Ribs, they are prepared good here.

……

I don’t know what our plans will be for this day, I know that Mary has to go into the city to take care of a few things, I think that I will stay here with my buddy Prince and let him give me a few lesson in naps, he is an expert.

……

Sherry we plan to stop and see you on Thursday, I hope that you will be there that day, I need to see a big smile and her a little hug. DAD

“ Love the Lord with all thy Heart “
Good Morning. ....
I have had a wonderful nights sleep an I feel like I am ready to face the conflict. I still need a little time to read and meditate as I have a cup of good hot Sumatra x bold coffee, I made it at an early, I do wish that it were possible for us to live closer together , we would have a wonderful time around the coffee pot, encouraging one another to keep pushing on to the end of our journey
I am in a Happy mood this morning, for a change every thing seems to be going as planned, but I am keeping my fingers crossed. Jim and Beverly are supposed to spend Friday with us Jim will be working on one of our computers . I am lucky to have three experts in my family to keep me going Mary, Jim and Beverly and I even know how to turn this Del on, right over to the right at the bottom.
I am almost a shame to tell you the tine but I will it is now 1:52 a.m. and don’t feel sorry for me, I am enjoying this and as I said up above I am in a Happy Mood, I am sorry that I cant show you this on Cam. 1 right now, I am doing a little work on it , it will be ready t a decent hour this morning, check it out you may see Dad drinking Coffee or sleeping. Prince may pass in front of the camera every few minuets.
“ Time is so precious-do not waste it “  Dad.
“ Do unto others as you would have them do unto you “

I should be doing more of the things that I LOVE to do best and that is helping you produce one of the Best Home Grown Tomato in your little garden, if you have just one plant I am as interested in you as if you had one thousand, so please call on me and I and the experts will do our best to help.

And the charges are reasonable , free to you, not even any sale tax, all I want from you is a big smile, and maybe a picture from you to use on this blog , pictures of growing tomatoes and the ripe fruit. Lets have some fun, and enjoy getting our hands dirty, it’s a good feeling.

I will be showing you pictures of our 50 plants when we get the plants in the ground, see them growing from plants to red ripe tomatoes, Mary will be using her traveling  Cam. # 1 to show you this.

I must tell Sherry that we will not see you until after the New Year 2012, but we will be stopping in soon. Dad

I am going to ask you to roam around again today in my side panel, it will tell you several good things. One thing that I need to mention is about my advertising space that I am offering, it is read in over one hundred countries and five thousand cities. This is ideal for your local advertising or in a far away country. Let me surprise you with a quote. white6416r@aol.com  I would appreciate hearing from you, my coffers are low.

This is overly long but I have enjoyed visiting this morning, enjoyed the coffee very much. If all goes well I will see you as the sun come  up over the hen house Friday morning.

GOOD MORNING.
……

We have moved Cam. # 1 to a new position  that I think you will like better, test it out t0day. DAD

……

What is yourvmood is at this early hour 2;56 a.m. A few have doubted that I am actually here at this hour now you can check me on Cam. #1. I may be crazy but I am enjoying it, and my mood is happy, can you say that.
I must go and get that Sumatra x bold coffee going, don’t go away I will be right back.

 

Its on perking, do you smell it ? It may be a little strong for you, it is x bold and I used an extra scoop. I have two friends that went to FLORIDA for a long vacation, I hope that they can find a Starbucks Store there, let me know Joan.

 

This coming Sunday we will begin living in a new year, 2012. Are you wondering what it will be like, well I am. most of us begin to think of new year resolutens  , well I am not, I am going to set down and make a list of all the things that I did not do in 2011 that I should have done and left undone, I am sure that I am going to be surprised and ashamed of myself for the way that clean sheet looks this morning. There is a little saying that says “ It is not what you do son, but what you leave undone, that will give you a heart ache at the setting on the sun “. Think that over this day. DAD

 

Our bible study is Titus chapter 3, We have enjoyed this little book, Paul was so proud of Titus and depended on him so much. The meeting will be here at our home.

 

Now Our plans for today could be just a number of things, some that we do not know about yet. We do want to start talking about home grown tomatoes.

 

We do need to ask you again to roam around our side panel, it is a great help to me while I am busy.

 

I have enjoyed this mornings visit, and if my life is spared , and you don’t lock the door I will be here Thursday morning.

 

Please remember to “ Live for others “

Dad and Trula. They were the oldest two patients at this time. Dad is 98 and

Trula is 96.  This was taken at the Christmas Party that they planned for the patients.

Trula is the poet I was telling you about.

How are all my friends feeling this Friday morning ? I am in a very Happy mood. Mary and I visited Heather at the Wound Center and we got a pleasant surprise, I am off of the Oxygen treatments, I am 0n my own, so we did not have that early trip this morning. Dr. Heather wants us to see her in two weeks, just to be sure that all is well.

I am going to miss every one up there, It is going to be a little sad for us, I am already wishing that I could see a big Sherry Smile.

And Sherry tell ever one over there that I can see that “getting ready” room in my mind, and Mary and I expect to drop on you very soon.

Good Morning
“Times so precious-do not waste it “
A few of the most truthful words ever spoken , remember then and do try to  “ Live your life for others “
I am hoping that all is well in your part of this wide world.
I am in a Happy mood again this Thursday morning, it seems that things have been going better for a few days, I had better enjoy them, they could go away so soon.
I will be going to see Sherry this morning. I am enjoying these Oxygen Treatments so much, and I would like to be there right now, and the big smile that I get from Sherry and all here smiling crew, and that  does include Doctor Hall. When I see all those smiles It seems do as much good as the treatment, could that be true, Dad thinks so.
We have an appointment with Heather in the Wound Center at 8: 30 am. I am sure that things will go good there.
Mary and I are going to be busy after all the above. I need to be something about producing those good home tomatoes, roses and smiles. Now that is some thing that can not be toped for a melt in your mouth flavor, they are produced out in the open garden with plenty of sun apart for enough air circulation. Unlike these hot house tomatoes , produced in crowded sheds no sun, rain from above to water, I am sure that you have been fooled many times with those big Red tomatoes, you feel like that you are chewing something that is not good.
“ A good memory is fine , but the ability to forget is the true test of greatness “
“ Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it”
“ Its right to be content what you have, but never with what you are “
“ A minute of thought is worth more than an hour of talk “
These four thoughts are from a little book called Apples of Gold. I have owned this little book for many years, and read in often.
I must get that Starbucks Sumatra x bold started, I will come back later for my cup.
I must go, Mary, Prince and Dad send their Love to all this troubled world.
We must not forget this today, “ Live for Others “
I will be back in the morning if God has mercy on me and give me another dad of life.

Ever one was one big smile
When it was time to leave for home Mary and I did not want to leave, but needed to get back to Prince, and get our hands dirty again, that is what I like to do.

No I have not received any lemons , just plain sensible advice from my friend Heather at the Wound Center yesterday, I had thought that it would be completely healed, but she found just one very small spot that she wanted closed an she is going to do that with just a very few oxygen treatments. Now would you not be glad for her care and interest, I am. Thanks Heather. I wish that there more like you in this cold cruel world. Dad

Good Morning.

How are you feeling on this Monday morning ? I hope that you are able go to your job with a Smile on your face. I am going to try to do that, but is going to be hard.

Why don’t we just go ahead and think about Starbucks x bold coffee, it might helps us get a little push off, it is ready and I am going to serve you, sit down and meditate as you enjoy

It is hard for me have very many thoughts this morning, I will tell you that we had a good meeting yesterday , and a few naps with my friend Prince in the afternoon , he is a true friend, never complains just happy to be here at our side

“ If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything. “

“ When the One Great Scorer comes to write against your name. He marks not that you won or lost but how you played the game. “

These two above from Fathers Book of Wisdom

I hope that we can keep relaxed this day and not have any thing to worry us. One of the greatest comforts that I have is that God in heaven is looking down on us, and he sees us, even our thought, and that he sees not as man sees us but in His Tender Mercy. So why does it matter what men say about us, Jesus said something like in Matthew fivee. DAD

             Good Morning,

 

“Time is precious; Do not waste it.”

Meet Mr. Squirrel who visits Prince and me quite often.

 

My Brother’s Keeper

As I walked along life's pathway,
My brother walked there too
I saw my brother slip and fall
I wondered what to do.

I took my problem to the Lord,
The Lord already knew.
And as I talked it o'er with Him,
He told me what to do.

He spoke to me of His great love,
His mercies ever new.
And if my brother I would help,
I would need this love too.

So if I see my brother fall
In keeping strong and true.
I'll take it only to the Lord,
Who knows just what to do.

      By Ray White              

I think that I am in a good mood this morning, I hardly know, so many things have happened around me right in front of my eyes the past few days that  does cause me to loose confidence in man but not in my Heavenly Father, He is up above us looking down to see any that is doing good. What a    thought but also a con one, why should we ever worry.

In the poem above talking about our brother making mistakes a lot of people cannot wait to tell it to their neighbor instead of the Lord, and also wanting to be the first to do it, I despise gossip. DAD

Mary and I have not made any plans for this day, only to take is easy, but I have made plans for us to have a cup of Sumatra x bold coffee it is ready and I am going to pour, Joan you sit right down in that rocker over there and Relax you try to do to much for others

An old timer is some one who  remembers when we counted our blessings instead of calories.

Middle age is when we can do as much as we ever did but would rather not’

These two above are from Over The Hill and on A Roll.

We have no intentions of violating any ones copy write, if you think I have let me know and I will correct it DAD

 

You will find as you look back upon your life That the moments when you have really lived are the moments when you have you have done things in the spirit of love.

By Henry Drummand

I do want to tell you that I do sell advertising in this journal write Dad for prices.

We are also writing a book of our own, we will keep you  posted on this.

I must go will see you in the morning.

DAD’S THURSDAY ENTRY TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED SIXTY NINE

Sweet is the rest in bearing the cross
Good Morning,
I am in a happy mood this Thursday, and I have a lot of reason for for being happy.

This picture above sits on my desk and brings me many pleasant thoughts  of past days. His name was Scottie, and to me there has never a companion like Scottie, When I worked he was with me, when I was lying in the shade Scottie was there, He is gone now. his grave along with Prince is under the Flag in our back yard
Snowflakes and Dear Ones
..
Gentle snowflakes fall upon me,
Melting fast upon my face,
There’s no way that I can keep them,
If in my heart they have no place.
Very fragile, very special,
Are these snowflakes from the sky
They remind me of my dear ones,
As they gracefully flutter by.
Scarcely do I see their beauty,
Barely do their rare imprints
Fix themselves upon my fingers,
Till I’m wondering where they went.
In this world so temporary,
Filled with ephemeral things,
Surely everything is fleeting,
Flying ‘way on speeding wings.
Like the snowflakes that are melting,
When they touch my skin so warm,
Yes, myself, my friends, my family,
We’re on that solemn journey home.
Snowflakes can’t be kept in bottles,
You can’t grasp them as they fly,
You just have to dearly love them,
As they slowly flutter by.
We cannot keep what can’t be held,
And just as snowflakes disappear,
Often on life’s lonely landscape
We’re deprived of what is dear.
Yet no one really leaves us,
Though we’re far, so far apart,
As long as we believe in snowflakes,
And keep them always in our hearts.

Time is so precious- do not waste it living for your self alone, Liver for others.

Good Morning.

I am in a very Happy mood this day,

We are home from the oxygen treatment, and I am going to try and send a little news of how things went. We spent two wonderful hours in the treatment and I came out feeling wonderful, so relaxed and feeling that I am  getting so much help here, these treatment that I am getting for a few days are just a little test to be sure that my friend Dr. Hall has done a good job on old Dad. I don’t know how many more of these that I will get, but I am that it will be enough to do the job.

I do want to mention that the ones that were on duty today had that big smile’

I highly recommend these Oxygen treatments to you and wish that you would check on it now, and begin to feel better. You would need to talk to your doctor about this, and I know that he would know what to do

I hardly know what our plans are for this afternoon, one of mines is a good nap with Prince, and he has beat me to it, he is right here at my side sound asleep, cats don’t seem to ever feel the need of working.

Mary had a doctor apointment at two p.m.when she returns she plans to work on a few pictures that we need for another  project that we are working on, we will tell you more about at a later date..

I will be talking tomatoes, tomatoes and more tomatoes very soon now, I have already been looking at the seed catalogs, and makes you want to star as early as possible

Jim and Beverly are going to visit us on Sunday, they will be with us in our Sunday morning meeting, and he hinted that he might take us out for dinner.

I need to stop and get started on my nap, and I am hungry, I think that I can find something in the kitchen. I plan to see you in the morning with a smile and a cup of that x bold coffee.
