You ever have one of those days… It seems like you can’t get it all done ✅ Even though it started out as an “Easy Day at the office”… Getting off early! All I lack is “Finishing a few things up” 😊 Oh well, can’t let it get me down!
Just a phone call or two and I’m done for the weekend! Wait! Not so fast! Just one more thing…
I literally forgot about my blog today! 😳 Forgot much of my 4th of July “to-do” list… BUT – Good News! Long Weekend coming up!
The long awaited 4th of July Weekend! Are you ready?
Im gonna keep it simple!
- Swim trunks ✅
- Flip Flops ✅
- Charcoal ✅
- Meat to grill ✅
- Ice ✅
- Drinks ✅
- Straw Hat ✅
- Sun 👓 ✅
See y’all Monday 😎🇺🇸💥
PS:
I want to take a minute and say how thankful I am to be an American! No other country on the face of the earth affords us the rights and privileges that we have as Americans.
Have a Safe & Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

There’s not much more relaxing than floating on the river. Add to it a nice breeze, the sun ☀️ starting to set & Old Glory blowing in the wind… Priceless Zen
Summertime in Tennessee is hard to beat 😊

Rainy night followed by a rainy morning. I’ve been sipping coffee since early, thinking about the holidays and all the family we got to see and all the stuff we did. We are having one more late holiday get together with some out of town family and then it’s all about New Years!
Only a few days left in this decade! What will I do with them…
Today is the last Sunday of the year! Last Sunday of the decade to be exact! It’s been a good year! Fast but good. I have started a list of goals for 2020. #1 in the list, spend more quality time with family and friends. The more I think about it, that’s a goal worth striving for.
Have a great Sunday with family and friends!
New Years is Coming!

It’s been a great holiday! Family & Friends came to visit, catch up a bit & eat! 
The meal was followed by Football 🏈 and an epic nap! That’s a hat trick for an old man😊
Now, it’s a road trip for Black Friday! Wish us luck …
Y’all have a wonderful weekend!

What a beautiful, cold morning! I was going to do this blog on the porch with my morning coffee, but I didn’t make it 😊 A little too cold 🥶 … Yesterday was our Annual Fall Fest, and it was a Great one! Lots of family’s came out to take part in the festivities & Eat lunch with us. Kids fell in love with the animals, all the pumpkins were carved, the piñata was busted by a determined group of kids 😊 And Adam led a great class on seasonal pond maintenance.
I made a collage out of the 200 pictures I had to choose from 😊 Lots of Fun yesterday!
This was the last event of the season for the Nursery, which is always bittersweet… We have had some really high notes this year at our events & as always, I can’t wait till next year! ❤️
Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas are coming fast now. I hope we can all enjoy every minute!
Have a Great Sunday!

We had a great day off for our 26th. Wedding Anniversary! The weather was perfect 👌🏻 so we just made a day of riding around, eating out & Junking! Bought a few really nice old things (Junk to most 😊)… And finished the day off at our favorite marina with the perfect sunset 🌅. All in all, a perfect day! ❤️
This is my wife Jo & I 26 years in. We still Kickin’!
Here’s to 26 More! 🍾💥 ❤️

Happy Independence Day! AND – Happy Birthday America! I am so proud to be an American! And I am Thankful for all the hard work and sacrifice that has been made by so many down through the years to keep us safe and FREE! There is not another country like ours in the world & our people are willing to give all to keep it 🇺🇸
Happy Birthday America! 💥🇺🇸 “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”

This is always a busy weekend! Cooking & then cleaning up from the ‘Big Dinner’, is a given… But my personal list of to-dos seems to grow every year 🤔
- Take down and store Fall/Thanksgiving decorations with my wife. Then –
- Fire up the smoker & put some meat on for later…
- Get in the attic and carry the tree, decorations & other Christmas decor down & put together/set up.
Just a few Christmas trees from years past.
- Plant 150 Daffodil bulbs.
The traditional time to plant Spring flowering bulbs is between Thanksgiving & Christmas.
- Outdoor Christmas lighting (Not a lot)…
- Trash duty.
Then dinner and a night out…
Wow! Looking at my list, this looks a bit ambitious 🤨 😂
Have a great Holiday Weekend! And pace yourself 😊
