Wednesday

Good morning all! Feeling good today. The Hurricane is over and just heavy rain and some wind. No big deal. One thing I have learned in Florida. God hates Mobil Homes. Every storm there is always some good ol' boy who's Mobil Home gets blown away.
Alligator season just started. All the swamp buggies are out. Nothing like having Billie Bob and Bobby Ray running around with 30/30 rifles, with a couple of cases of beer in the middle of the night killing Gators. I must admit, I love Bar B Q Gator tail.
I have a new law for the Olympics. If you can play a sport and drink a beer at the same time, it should NOT be an Olympic event. Badminton? Ping Pong? Give me a break! Why not cookie making or Game Boy playing?
Well, today is pick up the tree limbs and clean the yard day. Since we have 5 acres, I think I'll hire some kids to do it.
Peace and Love to all! Mark

Tuesday

I am writing this in the middle of the Hurricane. The "eye" of the storm is right over us, but we are OK. Heavy winds and rain all night. The dogs are going crazy, but all is well. The TV stations blow all of this out of proportion. The biggest problem has been keeping the surfers and wind sailors off the beach! It ruins the pictures of the news people in there parkers. Have a good day all! Peace and Love Mark

Monday

HOPE THIS MAKES YOU SMILE : THE MOST FUNCTIONAL ENGLISH WORD
Well, it's shit ... that's right, shit! Shit may just be the most functional word in the English language.
You can smoke shit, buy shit, sell shit, lose shit, find shit, forget shit, and tell others to eat shit. Some people know their shit, while others can't tell the difference between shit and shineola. There are lucky shits, dumb shits, and crazy shits. There is bull shit, horse shit, and chicken shit. You can throw shit, sling shit, catch shit, shoot the shit, or duck when the shit hits the fan. You can give a shit or serve shit on a shingle. You can find yourself in deep shit or be happier than a pig in shit. Some days are colder than shit, some days are hotter than shit, and some days are just plain shitty. Some music sounds like shit, things can look like shit, and there are times when you feel like shit. You can have too much shit, not enough shit, the right shit, the wrong shit or a lot of weird shit. You can carry shit, have a mountain of shit, or find yourself up shit's creek without a paddle. Sometimes everything you touch turns to shit and other times you fall in a bucket of shit and come out smelling like a rose. When you stop to consider all the facts, it's the basic building block of the English language. And remember, once you know your shit, you don't need to know anything else!! You could pass this along, if you give a shit; or not do so if you don't give a shit! Well, Shit, it's time for me to go. Just wanted you to know that I do give a shit and hope you had a nice day, without a bunch of shit. But, if you happened to catch a load of shit from some shit-head...........Well, Shit Happens!!!
Peace and Love Mark

Sunday Afternoon

Hi everybody! I am on a friends laptop to get this out to you all. My PC crashed and needs to be fixed. We have a Hurricane heading our way and should be here by Monday night.
The storm is supposed to hit around Fort Myers or Tampa. The storm is supposed to be a category one. Not very strong. Like a heavy rain storm with winds around 80 or 90 miles an hour. Monday we will open up the house so the wind will blow some fresh air around! We are being careful, but been through much, much worst. We have 5 gallon water jugs filled and enough Margaretta's to ride out a day or two of "bad" weather.
We will write again when we can! Take care to all! Love and Peace! Mark

Friday Morning

Well, it looks like our computer at home may have taken a vacation without us. Mark called to say it is "popping up" all sorts of things, and throwing him off the internet. Neither he or I are what you would call computer-literate. So I have an emergency e-mail in to my son (who is a computer genuis) to see if he can give me clues. Trouble is, he may be on the way to Utah with my granddaughter - so we may not have the home computer for a while. Mark wanted me to let everybody know, he's doing well, watching the Olympics and getting ready for next Friday's check up with the doctor. We'll keep you up-dated as we can. We love you all and wish you Peace! Rebecca

Thursday

Hi Jen! Nice to hear from you! I don't expect anyone to Blog me all the time. It is just very humbling knowing that you care enough to stop by and say hello. Carol: I finished reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. I spent this morning watching USA beat Greece in Basketball. Another blow out!
Very hot and muggy today, but I'm feeling OK, except for the nose bleeds. We have been having problems with our dogs going crazy at night. I believe it's Coyotes going for the garbage cans. I hope it's not a Boa Constrictor's again in the area. Some of them are really big! 10 to 15 feet long. I hate to kill any animal, but I must protect my dogs and Cat if it came to that. We even have Bears and Panthers in this area. I can only hope for the best.
Take care everyone. You are all in my prayers.
Peace and much Love! Mark

Wednesday

Hi all! Well, so far it has been a stress free day. Something I need. Rebecca is still not feeling well, but she went to work. I worry about her so much! She pushes herself beyond the limits.
I think I'll spend the rest of the day reading a book. I'm way behind on my reading. Take care everyone! Much Peace and Love to all! Mark
