Navel Air Station Pensacola

We had a wonderful time visiting Al & Jane Head in Pensacola as they hosted us at the NAS where they volunteer. After a nice visit to the beach and a wonderful dinner we were on our way to Naples, FL. Enjoy the video.

Trip to Brazos Fellowship

Prior to departing the valley for the summer I had the privilege of visiting Brazos Fellowship (http://www.brazosfellowship.com)/ and spending time with some really great brothers: Loui Canchola, John Atkinson, Will Lewis, Shawn Parish & Company. The church is located in what was once a movie theater converted to sports bar. These guys have done a great job and it was a joy hearing their story and getting to know them. No doubt the place to be while in College Station.

Introduction to Christ

Recently received this video from a friend. Very cool and provoking. (And no he isn't Richard Pryor)

Romans 3:23 "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

Romans 6:23 "The wages of sin is death"

Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

Eph 2:8-9 "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God: not as result of works, so that no one may boast."

Romans 10:8-9 "if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."

SEEK HIM, He is not far off.

Final Wood shop project

As we got the motor home ready for the road and closed the house it was also time to finish out at the wood shop. After finishing the Miller table it was time to make Jenny's PEZ cabinet.

Larry helped with the doors and telling when I needed to sand more. All in all it turned out pretty good. Sure learn a lot on each project.

The cabinet holds about 200 PEZ, so now Jenny only has about 1,000 PEZ in storage under the house.

South Texas Fishing

What a great spring for fishing. As we prepared to depart south Texas and head north to see family and friends it seemed only right to take a pause and head out for a couple of fishing trips. It's always fun to be on the water and every trip is interesting when your out with Larry (Booth). Here's Jenny on Laguna Madre as we were salt water fishing. Also closed the season with a trip to Falcon Lake in Zapata to load the freezer with Catfish.

Dave, Vicki and Jud come to visit

As you might know David (Jen's brother) and Vicki were wed last year while visiting us here in South Texas. Jud and Jenny stood up for them and it was a wonderful time as they are truly matched souls.







Well they came back a few weeks ago and what a fun time we had. We jumped on the bikes for a trip to South Padre Island. Jud enjoyed Jen's scooter and David trailered the pumpkin down. And of course what would a trip be without a scooter break down? You guessed it, Dave broke a drive belt. The good news was it was under warranty and the local dealer got the job done the same day, saving the trip.








Next it was off to Mexico for a shopping trip to Progresso. The truck looked like Sanford & Son as they headed back north.



Loli, Jen & I had a wonderful time!

The Kids in the Valley

Our family came down to visit a week ago and it was a great time. Andrew, Tyler, Tracy & TEYA were here for a week away from the cold cold north. When the kids left Chicago it was -13*.

Uncle Andy enjoyed his time in the warm weather with Teya. We were also greeted with the good news that Andy has gotten a full time job with benefits. No doubt a blessing from God in this economy.

While here in the Rio Grand Valley we attended a Killer Bees Hockey Game, got international with a trip to Mexico, Off to the beach at South Padre Island, Fishing & Boat ride on the Rio Grande, Santa Ana Wildlife area & too much more to list. The time flew by & we sure do miss them now.

Here is Papi with Teya at the top of the hawk tower. She is so funny. When the wind blows she sticks out her tongue like Mylo use to do.

Oh yea that is a Mexican fish!

Loli Pop enjoyed her baby sitting and just hanging out. She stayed in our loft and gave her RV to the kids.
