June 4, 2014 Wednesday

Started the day with a walk at 7 am.  Wanted to get it in before the rain.  Bonus!  saw 6 bunnies on my travels. 


Gospel of John chapter 14 -  Jesus said, I go to prepare a place for you.  This is a very uplifting read.  It reminds us that God sent Jesus to earth, to intercede for us.  If you know the son - you know the father and vice versa.  God knows you and wants you to know him, and has prepared a place for you.


On this day:
1998 - We were a little short on help.  Me and the one arm neighbor (he had a broken arm) loaded the large Ryder truck with Ma and Dad's belongings from their home here in the shores, including a 300 lb safe from the basement, and an Italian scooter.  Dad was under doctors care, having just had a heart problem and Ma was so sad leaving her home.  Jim (the neighbor) and I somehow loaded the entire truck and hitched up a trailer with the jeep on it, behind the truck.  We were still laughing by the end of the day, well Jim and I were.  The kids and I drove them to Florida to their condo the next day.  I'm glad the kids went for distraction.
1998 - George and Ira Gershwin received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. That was their excuse,  where were you?


Parenting - Aaron and Nicole took time from school to go down to Florida and help keep Grandma and Grandpa's spirits up.  Aaron and Grandpa were in the Ryder truck and I followed in the Lincoln with Grandma and Nicole.  It took us a full two days, with just one overnight stay.  I'm glad the kids had that time with them.


Book club -  So Theodore thought himself a cowboy........  Mornings on Horseback.
