Pilot Mountain....

As we travel to Kentucky and back we always pass by Pilot Mountain.  It's such a beautiful mountain to look at depending on where you are in your journey and how nice the weather is that day.  

Billy Joel's 100th Madison Square Garden Concert Live TV Event...

Sunday night we got to watch a live televised event of Billy Joel.  I hate that I haven't seen him in person in all these years.  He's one of my favorite artist.  Such an amazing musician.  He sounded as good as he did back in the day.  His piano playing was phenomenal as always.  Here's a pic that I took of my tv screen as he was singing.

Late Happy Birthday to Scot (4/15/2024)....

 

I loved you yesterday! I love you today! I’ll love you tomorrow and forever! You are my best friend and the love of my life. You are my compass, my true north. I’m so thankful for the incredible man of God that you are. God blessed me so far beyond what I could’ve thought or imagined when He gave me you. I’m so glad that we get to do life together and that we get to celebrate birthdays and other special occasions with one another. Happiest of Birthdays Babe! May it be your best birthday to date as we celebrate together as a family.

Last Weekend in Kentucky...

Last weekend we had a great time with the family celebrating Scot's and Jeff's birthdays.  We also enjoyed time spent with Scot's parents.  We pulled out the reel to reels and had a great time watching them as a family.  Scot had to do a little work on the projector though but it was working splendidly.  

Well Done Good & Faithful Servant!!!

Yesterday we got the news that this amazing man of God went on to be with his Lord!  He was on the road and had been for quite some time preaching at conferences and churches.  He had just preached the night before his passing an amazing message.  I watched it online and it still all seems so surreal that he's gone.  Our lives have been impacted so much because of Brother Jerry's ministry.  We've followed his preaching and read his books a ton.  He will be greatly missed here but I'm sure he's so enjoying being with Jesus.  He wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.  Our hearts and prayers go out to his wife and daughters at this time though.  May they feel God's hands around them like never before in their lives in this time of loss.   

We Stand With Israel!!!

No matter was our country does we, as a family, will always stand with Israel!  It seems things are going from bad to worse here because of those running things but we will always Stand With God and God's People!  That will never change!!!

WOW! What A Difference!

In just a couple of months time Tim has changed a ton.  Here's a picture to show you just how much he has changed in his muscle development.  

Tim doing weightlifting now has been amazing.  This change has been huge for him.  He doesn't turn 16 until next month.  So impressive all the gains he's had physically, mentally and in the weights that he is lifting now.  I shake my head a lot these days at such amazement at how far he's come and he's not even been doing this a year yet.  It won't be a year until August.  

Eclipse in Wendell,NC pics....

Here are a couple of pics of what we saw today.  We weren't in the path of it so the only way to see anything was to take pics of it.  The sun was still bright but it looked on the ground like it was a shadowed sunlight.  Also, I was able to get a partial of the diamond ring.  The iPhone 15 Pro Max Camera got great shots.

More Pics from the Meet taken by Cate (owner of Athletic Lab)...

 Here are some more pics from the Meet that Cate took.  She did an awesome job.

Anniversary of Dad's Passing (4/6/2024)...

It’s hard to believe it’s been 22 years since my dad passed away. He didn’t live long enough to walk me down the aisle when I was married or see his grandson born. Tim and his cousins, Tristan & Iris, have his hazel eyes. My dad lived a hard life and had a lot of flaws but all of us kids still loved him. He would have really enjoyed spending time with all of his grandkids and great grandkids. All of us 7 kids have our memories and stories to tell of our dad. Even though he’s been gone all these 22 years he’s never been forgotten.
