The older I get the more I learn. I could have never been as effective as a "Full Time" Youth Minister as ours at Freedom (Blake). Blake has so many creative things in his mind. The best of which I just experienced. I am in my office at work and was watching him in the church office as he was doing something. Take a look but you will need to do this during regular office hours. If your are curious:what is blake doing.
Catch you soon

Less Than Three Weeks
I have concluded it is not good for me to tell what I am planning to do with the blog. It is now Monday and the family is home. We have a great time at the beach. There was lots of sun fun and friends. I mentioned the Tiki bar in the previous post. I think I said something about a picture in it. Well, I was sitting here thinking about what I was going to do tonight and suddenly realized that I never took a picture of the Tiki bar. So I guess I will not share a picture of it. I guess I could find one somewhere on the web and post it but what is the use. We did take several pictures and many of them are good but I have yet to connect the camera to the computer to move them to a more permanent home. Anyway, it was back to the regular routine today. I got up this morning only to show up to work and play catch up all day. That is the real down side to taking a vacation. You spend so much time cleaning up the things that others don’t have time to get to or just decide they don’t want to do. (NBD)
Here are the things I feel are the hi-lites of the week:
-After a few hours of driving we arrived Sunday afternoon.
-The women went grocery shopping.
-Mid morning Monday everyone decided to roll out of the bed and mosey to the beach.
-Tuesday the men (Me and Ben) joined Lance and Joe for a round of 18. 103 degrees Wow was it hot.
-Wednesday was still mid morning getting to the beach but it was earlier than Monday.
-Thursday we got to the beach before 10. The waves were killer. We were about dead from riding one after another. It was totally ahhhhhwesome, duoode!!! We were on boogie boards so I guess we were hanging five.
-Friday was so much cooler. We pretty much hung out in (not at) the ocean all day.
-Saturday started with a walk on the beach. My wife was too into sleep so I was all alone. It was nice alone time. It would have been nice to have her with me but it was good as it was. We spent the morning at the pool and waited until six for the beach. Tried fishing with a casting net. I like it and plan to start the week off with it next year.
I’m already looking forward to next year. I can’t wait. I guess I can wait for the catch up week following vacation. But I will be worth it.
What is your favorite thing to do at the beach?
Who knows what will be next.
Until then!

Three Weeks too Late!!!
OK, I have to start by issuing two apologies. First to any of you who read regularly and still look to see if anything new has been posted. I apologize for making you waste so much time seeing the same old thing for the past three weeks. I am truely sorry. Secondly to my friemd Kent. I have hasstleld him for the better part of July for not adding a new post. Kent, I'm sorry for giving you such a hard time and doing the same thing. I didn't realze until yesterday it had been such a long time since I posted on the blog.
OK here's a quick update. The family and I are at the beach. Myrtle of course. There is no other beach is there? We are here with several friends (12 in our houst). It turnes out we have many more that thought this week was a good week to be here. Our house really gets a lot of attention. I will post some pictures later to give you the virtualy tour. If I can get enough computer time to post them. I'm no my son's computer while he is asleep.
Here are the highlites of our house:
It is bright yellow.
we have a tiki bar on the ground level.
it is on the corner of a very busy intersection.
the most noticed thing about the house is the small sign hanging at the entrance of the tiki bar. (Free Margaritas Tomorrow) We have sooooo many people coming back daily to get that free margarita that is offered tomorrow. We just keep telling them we will be serving them tomorrow. And the funny thing is every time they come by they are still free tomorrow. It is a hoot. We have five more days before making that dreaded trip up the highway. I guess I'd better get going for now.
Until then, I'm enjoying the days and nights here is the sea salted misty air. Hootie Hoo!!! (for you Jeanne and family)
