Sitting on the porch swing with my girl this Sunday morning 😊 It’s 29 years today… 29 years in the blink of an eye 👁 Time is a funny thing… When we sit together time stands still. When we are apart or waiting on one another to get back, it sometimes drags on… Time is an illusion…

Im fixing breakfast for Jo this morning. She wants fresh tomatoes, biscuits, milk gravy and eggs… Another reason we get along so well 😊 Great minds think alike!
After breakfast, who knows what will happen!
Y’all have a great day!
“Love grows more tremendously full, swift, poignant, as the years multiply.”

Yes, I laid off today… Did some personal things, forgot about my blog, then sat down to watch a little football at the house… With my crew!


With all the B.S. going on in the world, a little football sounds pretty good!
Have an “Uneventful” weekend…
Go TITANS!

Thanks Pete! We all need a long weekend!
By the way, I’m talking about Mr. – 👇🏻
“Peter J. McGuire, a carpenter and labor union leader, was the person who came up with the idea for Labor Day. He thought American workers should be honored with their own day. He proposed his idea to New York’s Central Labor Union early in 1882, and they thought the holiday was a good idea, too.”

Most travel plans have been put on hold, as I’m sure you are well aware… So for our Anniversary trip, we decided to do it by Boat 🚣♀️ Talk about social distancing! Tanning, reading, jamming music, taking photos, and just cruising the boat. Only stopping to take dip or refuel at an available marina.
We taken many a road trip as well, but there’s nothing like just floating around on the river for a few days!
“Dark brown is the river.
Golden is the sand.
It flows along for ever,
With trees on either hand.
Green leaves a-floating,
Castles of the foam,
Boats of mine a-boating—
Where will all come home?
On goes the river
And out past the mill,
Away down the valley,
Away down the hill.
Away down the river,
A hundred miles or more,
Other little children
Shall bring my boats ashore.”
~ Robert Louis Stevenson

I just had to amend my Blog today… it was on deck to publish… and I forgot to pull the trigger 😳
I, WE are taking a few day’s off to celebrate and to try and slow it down a little… Jo and I always try to plan some time around our Anniversary & we both look forward to time together. The years are literally flying by… But, I’ve apparently been having fun, because I haven’t really noticed 😊
So, we are gonna take a break for a few days and try to relax. I will share some pics from the road over the next few days.
Thanks 🙏🏻 Have a great weekend!

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!
I literally forgot about my blog today! 😳 Forgot much of my 4th of July “to-do” list… BUT – Good News! Long Weekend coming up!
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! 🇺🇸
