Folks this was a big job, but by God's grace I got it done.


I wrote about why I had to tear this all down and move everything over to our property. Where these are stacked up is on my neighbors' property. He has this Pit Bull, very loving dog, but he found out that he can climb up and jump over the fence to visit Presley. Meanwhile the pile has been shifting and ready to break thru the fence. Well, after I started moving the pile on Thursday, Travis (neighbor) he built these pallets around the pile so his dog can't get up and jump over anymore.  
That was very nice of him to build it up like this. But I really just want to move the pile over to our back yard. So, I took down the pallets and piled them up on the side of the pile. 

This is the puppy that has cause the shifting of the pile. His name is Smoky and he is just wanting to play and have some fun. He really likes playing with Presley, but Presley sometimes is not in the mood and even snaps at him and Smoky still thinks he is playing. But as I move everything over to our yard, You can see that most of the boxes are water damaged and a pain in the butt to pick up and move them over. 










I am really trying to get them in order and sell them on Market Place or Craiglist. 
Jeanne thinking maybe put the 8X8 octagon Mexican Tile in our house.? 
We will see what happens. 







These are most of the 8X8 tiles. 1372 pcs of this tile. 









Here are a few more boxes of 8x8 tiles. 
Funny thing is happening while I am writing this blog. 




The railroad crossings are going up and down. No trains or anything causing it to malfunction. 
I called three different numbers to talk with someone. There was no answers on any of the numbers. So I called 911 Emergency, told her right oof the bat, NOT AN EMERGENCY. Just told her about the railroad crossings. She told me that someone has been called and it will be taken care of. 
It kind of sad, you just want to help the drivers so they don't have to waste their time waiting. The numbers on the web sites no help at all. I walked out to the box next to the tracks and there is no signs to direct you on what to do. 
Okay enough about that. Today I read Habakkuk in my Bible. 
Habakkuk is complaining to the Lord. How long, O Lord, must I call for your help?
Folks I know there is a lot of stuff going on in our world these days. I ask Him myself the same question? WHY? By reading this book, I am understanding more each time I open it up and realize He is right next to me and He is listening, but sometimes His answer is No. Yes and even Maybe. 
People I really hope and pray you are praying and asking Him to help you with what you are dealing with each day. I know I do. I can walk away and know He is in control and I just need to keep focus on Him and ONLY HIM. 
Praise Him Today. 
May He Bless You. I know He does my family and I each day.

It has been a while since i have visited this place.


It seems to be harder to make the effort to get my butt here anymore. Hey, I am staying busy helping Jeanne out at school (before and afterwards) and doing things around the house too. But around 1pm, I try to make time to come here and work out some kinks out in my body. Folks I know coming here really does help me out and get my body back in to shape, it's just hard to find the time. 



I usually start on this machine; this is like doing sit ups and strengthen my back at the same time. I use to only lift around 110 pounds, now up to 150#


This is leg presses, this really helps me bend my knees and you can hear my left knee crack. My doctor told me to keep it up until it hurts me. It hasn't hurt yet. This is at 200#


This is Pull downs, it helps stretch my arms and build up some strength too. I have the weight set at 150#


Now this one does hurt sometime. It's leg extensions. I think I have it set at 70#. The reason is I have the bar as tight as I can and just extend my legs out and back. 


This is Seated Pull sideways pull ups. This helps my arms too. I think I am pulling 100#. 
After this one I am about ready to leave. 


I go back to the back extensions at 200#. 
folks this took me about 30 minutes, and it was worth every minute. 
I know I could use my time here, but this day I needed to get to the school and help my little girl out. 
I think we need to check what we need at the school and go shopping while we are on Spring Break. 
Yes folks being teacher is a lot of work and time is put into each day to make sure everything is ready to the students to make something or there is a event or something is always happening at Westwood. 
We are on Spring Break and Jeanne is trying to get caught up on grades and financing, Jeanne sells food to the teachers, like breakfast and sometimes lunches. But while she is doing it, sometimes we get so behind on the paperwork and to let the teachers know that they owe her money's. That has been the first part of Spring Break. Meanwhile I have been moving tiles that we were given a couple of years ago and since, they are sitting on Chris's property, There is a family living over there and have a large dog (Smokey) Which he found out that the pile of tiles are a great place to jump up and jump over the fence to see Presley and me. But while he does this, meanwhile the tiles are breaking and falling though the fence too. So, on Tuesday I started moving them over to our property and trying to stack them up and prayerfully will not fall over. 





Hopefully today I can get the rest moved over and stacked. My prayer is to sell them and get them out of the yard and don't have to worry about them anymore. 
Thank you for reading my blog and I know it don't always have great stories, but by
 God's Grace I am still trying to get HIS WORD OUT TO ALL THAT ARE WILL TO LISTEN.

Well my best friend Don and his wife (Meg) left today.


It's been a wonderful time to spend with this guy and his lovely wife. Hey, I am not sure if I ever told you the story about how I meet Don? Well, I had a birthday party back when I was 7 years old. The only reason I know this is my dad and mom took a movie of it. So, I have been his friend since. That is was 67 years ago. Yes, to me it's been a up and down road, but I am happy I still call him my best friend. 
I can tell you this, while they have been staying with us, we did have some very heavy talks about our past and what is next in his life. So, I was very happy to be here for them. 



As we were eating breakfast, I asked about how their time here went. Well, I guess I asked the wrong question. Because Don went on, how he didn't do this or that.  I asked them each day, what would you like to do today? I know Jeanne and I had a great time, and I really hope and pray that they did too. 
Folks sometimes it's the way I ask questions, I have a reason for the question to see how they answer. 
Like this question, 

This question is my hardness one to ask? The reason is this is YOUR FUTURE. Not mine. 
I know where I am going. 
If you are still not sure? Please read in your Bible. John 3:36.

Okay, my friends vacation is winding down.


I think Don and Meg went to church and Jeanne and I stayed home and watched Calvary Chapel on line. Don came back and just laid back and fell asleep and Presley was laying alongside of him. Surprised me. I am not sure if I showed Don this picture or not. I think he will be very surprised too to see this. 
We sat around a little while and I got the crew back up and loaded the car up and drove north. 
Jeanne stayed home to get some schoolwork done. 


Okay, I really think Don drove us. We got near the Vero Beach Board Walk. Got out and started walking it. Not sure I think we needed a potty break first. I walked down to the beach and just see what is happening there. 



The weather was beautiful and the water was 69 degrees. I think I would wait to go into the water. I guess I am more a Floridian than I want to believe. I have lived in Florida since 1984. Wow, that has been 42 years, the real sad part is I had to use the calculator to find out how long. My mind is not doing math as it used to. 



We started walking and I noticed Meg and Don had a faster pace than mine. So, I told them to go a head and I will be here waiting for them. 



Okay they walked it twice and ready to keep heading north. so, I took a picture of the board walk and the park right alongside of it. 
While driving, we were using the GPS. I saw a park entrance and thought this must be the park entrance. 

Oh well I guess not. So, Don asked do we want to go in? Sure, we started walking up the sidewalk and I saw a couple of ladies walking towards us and I asked. what did you think of it? They both said for the best $2,00 spent in a long time. Make sure we see the video first and then walk around. 







This is a well that the settlers dug and stay on this property for their time here. 


We did walk in and Don paid for us and walk right to the theater and sat down and watched it. I think it was like 45 minutes long or so. Came out and Don and Meg, stopped and listened to a tour guild Mike (I think) No Braid is his name. Maybe? Okay they stood there and I just walked around and took pictures and tried to list what they were listening too. 
The video was talking about fleet of ship left Europe (Spanish Galleons and one French ship) and head back to Sapin form Havana, Cuba with gold, silver and all kind of valuables. On July 24th, 1715, these ships ran into the hurricane and were destroyed the ships and all of the things dropped to the bottom of the ocean. Which was near Sebastiana and 700 lives and over 14,000,000 pesos worth a treasure went down. There is so much more to the story. 
Folks I don't to tell you everything here. You need to come on down and see this place yourself. 






These guys here, were the ones that really stayed and did find a lot of items 


You can see there was two or three ships went down right off the Fort Piece shore. 

The gentleman (Not Mike) in blue is our tour guild. Very knowledgeable of China and Japan plates, cup and bowls.  and other glass item's He use to have a antique story. He was showing Don and Meg all kinds of ways to know if they are worth anything. 
The gentleman (his name is Mike for sure) He is a treasure hunter, and he has found many things. 
Asked him and he told me yes, many things. Plus, he is still looking. 


Then the gentleman (Culver) in brown works for the Parks Department, He was very friendly too. Hey, is seems like all three of these guys hang out and look at different things and talk about them. Really was a nice time listening to the knowledge and wisdom they all had on this place and the treasures themselves. 


We got back into the car and headed a little farrier up. Pulled in and walked down to see what the crane was working on. I am not sure at all. I know at the Jetty (Fort Pierce) is trying to bring more sand ashore and fill the beaches up. Not sure here?  



We left here and started heading back home. We had a nice talk about tressures and how real it really is. 
Got back home and I think I took a shower and we headed back out to go get some dinner. 



This is the restaurant Jeanne, and I went to the day or so before don and Meg drove down here. 
ELMAS CHINGON. 

If you remember, I was talking about this place and not sure what this name really means. Don, told me that there are a few ways of reading this. 
Hard worker, there a couple of other means. I really don't want to say. 
It can a good name or a bad name.





I think they were enjoying themselves. Sometimes it's hard to figure. 
Well, we finished and headed back home. Jeanne said her goodbyes and I guess I was really tied and went to bed earlier they everyone else. 
Next morning I will share on the next blog. 
Reading my Bible, folks reading all I have lately has been a eye opener. The Minor Prophets, Hoses was written in 760-720 BC, Joel 800 BC, Amos 800 BC, Obadiah 840 BC, Jonah 793-753 BC, Micah 735 BC, Nahum 663-612 BC, Habakkuk 610-605 BC, Zephaniah 640-625 BC, Haggai 520 BC, Zechariah 520 BC, Malachi 450-430 BC. In the beginning of this area of the Bible they were talking about what will happen to Isreal, could be Babylon/ Or what is coming. 
Now is The Major Prophets, Isaih, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel and Daniel are called Mayor, the reason is their books are a lot longer and more to their story  
All I know now is, our world is not doing well at all, Sinning is happening more than it happen during SODAM AND GOMORRAH. 
Please folks please check your heart and make sure you know Jesus Christ. 
I am not trying to scare you or push you wrongly. 
He loves us and wants all of us to trust HIM, 



 

Folks this was a big job, but by God's grace I got it done.
