It is a very nice morning here in Hewitt, so we wish all a good morning.

I got a real cup of coffee, and they have raised the price by 6 cents. Alex made it to school a little earlier than ususl and we were not sure why. Did I drive too fast? Back at home I was able to rest before starting on this demanding digital work.

Bible and Revelations; as I have stated in the past, “I like to read and consider verses from Revelations”. One of the statements is about opening the sealed book, “there was no one worthy in heaven, no one on the earth, or under the earth to open the book”. Now what gets my attention is “or under the earth”. I have heard comments in the past that there may be an open area inside the earth where people or beings may live. Could that be the reason for the comment, “or under the earth”? The common thought would be, that under the earth was referring to the dead, Maybe, but in this situation I don’t think so. What do you think?

We went to rehab yesterday, and all went well for My favorite wife. There were discussions with others who were sitting in the waiting area where I sat, and when I noted that I had lived in Cape Girardeau Missouri, that was the hometown for Rush Limbal, there were several comments about Rush.  

My Favorite wife and I Sat outside enjoying the quiet time and the birds. I have a photo of one of the small birds that was checking the driveway for bugs. These little birds are not afraid to get close to us as we set there.

We also noticed that there was no clouds in the sky yesterday afternoon and I have a blue-sky photo. I said there were no clouds in the sky, and all you see is the bird.
                I was allowed to cook a pizza for supper yesterday afternoon, and I burnt my thumb getting the pizza out of the oven. I should note that the pizza was frozen and not something that I made but it was very good.

                After supper I was allowed to clean up in the kitchen and wash the dishes.

                 After supper I went outback and looked at the black berries. The number 1 bed has a couple ripe berries, the number two bed has a couple, and the number 3 bed has several berries ripe. I hate to see berries not used.  

                Back in the house I tried to take it easy before time for our nightly ice cream.

Today I might go to the store to get a few groceries after bible reading but other than that no real plans. I am stopping now so you can get started. We hope we all have a good day and that we all stay safe.

 May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.

                Wow, it is the 13th, but not Friday the 13th, so we hope you have a good Morning and a good day.

                Yesterday was like all the previous days, nothing new. I did get the coffee, and I did take Alex to work I mean school.

                At home I started reading the bible, that is after my morning nap, and I read a few pages and then I turned the page and I was at Revelations. Yep, I started reading Revelations yesterday and I do enjoy thinking about comments from Revelations and how they might work considering today’s AI and various types of equipment.

                Later, I went out to the front yard and picked up sticks and other debris. My ole knee did not like the fact that it took a while. I was hoping my knee would get better, but it isn’t, so I will be scheduling a doctor’s appointment soon.

                My favorite wife and I sat outside yesterday afternoon and we had no visitors. Two ole people all alone sitting there with very little to discuss. The neighborhood was very quiet and there was little traffic on the street.

                Plans for today: My favorite wife has a rehab appointment this afternoon. I need a couple things from the grocery store so I might proceed to the store for a couple items.

                You are right, I should stop now and see if I can get some rest. Have a good day and please be safe in all you do.

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.

A Good Morning to all, yes, I have also included you in this Good Morning!

                Yesterday was a good day. I got a cup from the Star Coffee Place and was able to drop Alex off at school on time. I did rest for a while and then I began my bible reading. Our lunches were leftovers from the meal we had on Sunday at the Cracker store, and the food was still good. My favorite wife and I sat outside yesterday afternoon and shortly after we sat down a vehicle pulled into the driveway. The Lady in the vehicle happened to be an ole friend of my favorite wife. She sat down and began to talk about all the old times that she and the neighborhood have seen. This nice lady visited for a couple hours. Her and her husband leave Texas every summer and go out west in their motorhome. I do not remember where she said they were staying but she said it was at an elevation of about 7000 feet and the summer weather is nice there.

                Today I have no plans other than getting a cup of real coffee and taking Alex to school. I might attempt to get out back and look at the black berry beds to see how many are getting ripe. The problem with harvesting these berries is that they do not all turn ripe at one time. It is a couple weeks of daily picking the berries and I am sure I will not be doing that unless my knee recovers too normal.

                Also, the front yard needs to have the debris removed as the rain Tuesday night came with some wind.

                Well, I should stop doing this and do nothing for a while. We hope you have a productive day and that we all stay safe in all we do.

Remember to; “love your neighbor as yourself”.  

(Mathew 22:37-39)

                It is a good morning after the rain last night. Waco airport reports having 2.25 inches of rain while we here at the Fords Homestead received ¾ inch in the Ford’s new rain gage. ¾ inch is ok, we are not running our lawn sprinklers if we are getting some rain and that saves money.

                I did get Alex to school safely and on time this morning he said This is the last full week of school this year. Next week they will be taking tests and going to school for half a day.

                He parked his pickup truck here at the Ford house underneath our carport last night just in case there was some big hail which I do not think we received.

                Sunday was a little different than our normal Sunday. We usually go to the cracker store for either breakfast or lunch at about 11:00 AM but yesterday being Mother's Day we decided we would wait and go about 1:00 PM hoping to miss some of the crowd. We did not miss the crowd when we checked in, the lady at the door checking us in said it would be probably 40 minutes before we were seated. We found a place to stand and wait, and I checked my text message from our check in and the text message said it might take 70 minutes before we were seated. The good news is for some reason we got seated in about 10 minutes.

                Our service was excellent, the food was very good, we enjoyed our time there and we made it back home safe and sound. Back at home we decided we would sit outside and enjoy the warm humid air. While we were sitting outside my favorite wife decided to go to one of the flower beds and pull some weeds. Now she has a Walker that she used to get over there and then she sits on the Walker’s seat and pulls weeds. She filled up a 5-gallon bucket with weeds that she pulled.

                Speaking of walkers, we received a new one yesterday and yes, I have a photo.

                The new Walker has bigger wheels which will allow my favorite wife to go out in the yard if she wants to and go through the grass without any problem. With my crazy knee hurting like it has been, using a Walker in the house is more comfortable than using a cane. So now we have 2 walkers with wheels, and we can both use them in the house or around the house until our knees get better.

                We have no big plans for today just set around and be bored. We hope your day is fun and not boring, and that we all stay safe and all we do.

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.

                Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers and a good morning to all.

                We did Celebrate Mother's Day yesterday here at the Ford homestead, and we did go into town for lunch. Lunch was very nice and we enjoyed the conversations with each other.

My favorite wife received flowers from David and Claire and family.

My favorite wife also received a few butterflies to place in a flower bed that are powered by the sun and glow at night. We enjoyed the time with family.

Another event from yesterday, our favorite grandson was happy and smiling yesterday, and we have a photo.

It seems as if he became happy after finding out that he was the recipient of an ole Chevy Truck. Yes, we presented him with “The Ford’s ole Chevy”, photo to follow.
                Alex will be able to get his driver’s license next month, and I will not need to take him to school next year. Oh, by the way, it is still “The Ford’s ole Chevy” as Alex is the owner and a “Ford

                Yesterday was a good day for the Ford’s, and I did wait until this morning to give my favorite wife a Mother’s Day card.

                Today’s plans, try to get my printer working again. We attempted to print some forms off that will be needed for transferring the title from us to them and for some reason the printer said no I'm not going to work. I tried to print some other forms that I knew that I have been able to print in the past and I couldn’t print them either. So, my goal for today would be to figure out how to make the printer print.

I guess I will stop and start working on the printer. We hope you have a good day be safe in all you do, be nice to all mothers.

                Our morning is starting off as a good morning; I did get to sleep almost 20 minutes longer than usual. Yes, I got up about 5:20am. Alex is mowing the lawn since it isn’t raining.

                I will need to get Alex back home in time for him to get a shower after all the work so he will be clean and able to enjoy our family lunch today.

                We are supposed to go out for lunch as a family today in honor of Mother’s Day. My favorite wife got some flowers from Patrick and Karla.

Yesterday was a normal day with nothing to do, and my knee is still bothering me. I guess it is a team problem now, my favorite wife is recovering from her knee injury, and I am complaining about mine.

                Yesterday was Friday and our friend who usually comes to visit on Friday afternoon did come. There were some interesting conversations about the bible, and one discussion was about “The Mark of The Beast”. I have written a short article on that subject in the past and if I can find it, I might enlighten the public of my thoughts on the subject.

At one point our friend pointed out that our friendly green lizard was resting on the back of the ole rocking chair, I have a photo.

I am not yet sure where we will go for lunch today, but I know it will cost more than $15.00. Wow, if the food is good and the conversations are enjoyable the price of the food will be worth it.

                I guess I should stop and get started, we hope you have a good day and that we all stay safe in all we do.

It is a good morning, and I did get Alex to school on time and in a safe manner.

I should go to the store today to get a few items. On Saturday Patrick and Karla are coming to our house and we will go out for lunch to celebrate Mother’s Day. Yes, Dave Claire and Alex will also be going to lunch with us.

It was pointed out to me that I may have made an incorrect statement in the previous post. It seems as if I stated that Tres was on the Ford’s ole recliner, but it was on the Ford’s ole couch. One mistake and someone points it out to an ole person (that person was my favorite wife).

My knee is still hurting and since I can’t do much, I am getting more time at my desk reading the bible.

We hope you have a good day and that we all stay safe in all we do.
