Passing time...

Once again we are reminded that time passes by so quietly and quickly that we don't realize where it has gone. We have ended this week celebrating the 20th birthday of our Silver Persian cat. Our pets truly become part of the family and part of our daily routines. We are very blessed to have had such a wonderful pet for so many years and appreciate each day we get to share with her. I guess it's true.....Cats Rule...! LOL

Have a Wonderful Weekend...!

Encourage someone today...

Wow...I can't believe it's been so long since I have been on here. We have been able to get away for a short break and enjoyed meeting new friends at an antique show in Kentucky. For this I am very thankful...!!
As we meet and talk with people it seems as though there are too many wonderful people struggling with problems in their life with no one to encourage them. What a shame...!!!
They are battling normal stresses of life, or have an illness, or maybe issues within their families. It makes me realize how blest we really are.
Trust me, it isn't all paradise in our world either, but we have realized that you don't have to look very far to find others in need. I am more convinced than ever before that we need some "old time" people that know how to pray and am fully convinced that "real" faith seems to be lacking in today's society. We need people to stand up and be positive and encourage one another.
I am so thankful for parents that taught me that GOD IS REAL and that He will answer prayer. My prayer today is that God will make His presence known in the lives of all our wonderful friends and family. Whatever your issues are, I pray that God will move for you today. I wish that each person who reads this would decide that they are going to make it a priority to try and encourage someone else along the way. Who knows what blessings might begin to fall on all of us!
Love to all our wonderful friends and family and may God really bless each of you....!

I need a toy...

OK...I'm back here again and just had to take the time to show off the toy store we found recently while in Ohio. Anyone who knows me is aware that I usually have a toy and right now have none. What a shame...so...while riding down the road we passed this shop in a small town and my sweet wife said turn around and go back if you want to. Soooooo....we turned around and went back. What a great shop with cool classic cars. All the toys a guy could want...but I only need one...which one should I choose? Gosh...you all need to check out this shop and make suggestions...hahaha...

Well...guess it doesn't hurt to wish...

Check out this site and have a really great weekend...!!!!

Quick Note

Gosh..it seems like forever since I have been on here to post anything. I guess I am still waaaayyyy too busy... but I am trying hard to follow my own advice to slow down and enjoy life.
I am looking forward to developing my picturetrail site www.picturetrail.com/oldwooddesk .
The plan is to put a lot of fun stuff there for everyone to enjoy. Hopefully it will help you relax, recall some fond memories, and yes, perhaps, even be blessed.

I hope you all are having a really great week and will have a wonderful and blessed weekend!
Get out and enjoy the beauty of all that God has created!

I wanted to post a quick note to let you know that there will be... more to come...

Movie Night

OK..this is not intended to be a movie review...but I am saying that my sweet little wife and I had a great movie night last night watching this movie, "The Blind Side." It was really nice to sit back on the couch with a bowl of popcorn...lots of butter, of course...and just have something to watch that was positive and entertaining. Take the time out of your busy and stressed filled life to just relax and enjoy life with someone you care about. Push all of the negative stuff out of your mind and forget about all of the stuff you have to do. Trust me...it WILL be there waitin on you tomorrow. Anyway...find time to see some of the sights along your path and enjoy them with those you care about while you can. We never know about tomorrow so enjoy your life TODAY.

Have a really great week!

Beautiful Day...

Gosh...what a beautiful day today in southern Indiana...! A simple thing to be thankful for but I am very thankful nonetheless.
I enjoyed being outside working on the cabin for my sweet wife...!
I met some really nice people in the antique shop...!
I am spending the evening just relaxing and enjoying having a weekend to ourselves.
I think it helps to slow down and just look around us to see how blessed we are...
...then take the time to thank the One from whom all blessings flow...!
Have a great weekend....!

Take in the good...

OK...my guess is that there are others out there like me who are sick of listening to the news broadcast and all of the things that "someone" has decided to be news worthy.

My question is this, Who decided all of that negative garbage is news...?

I really am not interested in hearing about who killed whom, or what politician or sports person is cheating on their spouse this week. Aren't there people out there doing good things to help their neighbor and being a real friend to someone?

It isn't any wonder that so many people are depressed these days and can't seem to find happiness. I would suggest that at least part of the problem might be all of the garbage that we are bombarded with through the media, news broadcasts, and even our music. Now we even have to take it with us on our phones. Oh, I better not get started on phones....that is a topic for another day. Anyway...all of that to say this...

I believe you will have a better week if you block out the junk and just "take in the good."

Have a great week!
