Stocking Full of Love

Ride started about 12:15 and lasted about 3 hours. We had a ball and the weather was nice. I have to admit we got on the wrong trail a couple of times but its all in fun. After a quick meal at the Civic Center we all heading off to other assignments. This was a first for each of us in Georgia. Rob had been on some poker runs while in Ohio.

Stocking Full of Love

I am off to be a part of a motorcycle Poker Run. My first ever and it will be for the children. Always a worthy cause. I hope to meet Rob there and I believe it may also be his first. Let's hope all goes well. Looks like it might get a little warm.

Bob and I had the intent to do one of these together. This is for you brother.

Palin Calin

I must admit that I am much more impressed with Senator McCain. Sarah Palin will be a great running mate and I will definitely be out voting.

Labor Day Weekend

Looks like a long weekend coming up and I plan to enjoy it while working on the Web Development course. It's true, I am still involved with it.

Ray and Sharon are coming down this weekend. I will probably use that as an opportunity to get the motorcycle out for a spin. Mom will be going back to Letcher County to stay with them for awhile. No one ever knows how long that is. But I expect she will be homesick within two weeks. Mom has done well with her therapy which was exercising for two days a week at Bradley Wellness Center. She has completed that stage of her recovery and the rest is up to her. Her heart is probably better than its been in a long time.

I want to see my baby sis Thelma this weekend also. She is working all weekend but maybe I can sneak in just before she goes to work.

Jennifer is going strong on the jewelry business and the product is appealing and fashionable. I have a lot of faith that Jenny will do what it takes to get this done.

New Motivation

After a visit to Dr Neises yesterday, I received a prescription for some blood pressure medicine. It is Lisinopril and I have taken it before. I took it for such a long time that I now wonder what made me not take it. At any rate, it does seem to be doing its thing, which is lowering my blood pressre. This am it was 110 over 74 with heatrate of 67. This evening it was 115 over 71 with heart rate of 68.

Also did not experience many of the flushes that I have been having.

Dear Delight

It isn't everyday that I have an opportunity to look out the back door and spot a buck browsing around the pool.

Photo's Uploaded to My Space

Photo''s have been posted to myspace. Several mediums used to display merchandise. My favorite was the small carosel for the errings.

The boy to the right is mesmerized by the carosel.

King Street Fair in Dalton

Jeanie and I walked the length of King Street in Dalton this am. We were looking for inspiration, opportunity, and direction. Many were happy to offer good suggestions. We did take some photo's and they will appear on this site. If I can't figure out how to get the slideshow working here, I will put them on Myspace.

Jenny Gale Creations Continued

Today I am taking a half day vacation so I can do two things; (1) practice web design (2) get ideas from others reading this as to what needs to be on the web site.

First things first. I am reviewing image creation today. Next week will be tables. Will have to also look at shopping cart technology. Security. Easy navigation guided by my well designed page.

I need some logo ideas to set up different scenario's for Jenny's review and approval.

Next, there must be some sort of packagng, shipping, insurance. Special sales to get people to spend more to cover shipping (maybe free).

Okay, as Brenna says, what else can we help with? Please!!!!! Pretty please!!!!!!!!!!

Something else to consider. Finding a piece of jewelry that can be promoted as a limited edition item (with higher price naturally).

If you think I am trying to generate more ideas, then you are on the right track.

Jenny Gale Creations

I just visited "Mommys World" and looked at all the photo's of Jennifer's jewelry. It is all so beautiful and special. Just one step at a time and before we know it, she will be the rage, everyone will have to have a "Jenny Gale" piece of jewelry.

So now, I have a project to work on. Each day after work I work on my Web development. Looks to me like this is perfect timing. By the time a Web site is needed, I should know enough to help.

I am excited ..

Elkhorn Kentucky

From the Aug 12, 08 issue of Coffee News: Pine Grove Church finds a two tone storage building on the roof of their church. No apparent reason to explain how it got there. Pastor Jeff Edwards thought it might be a message from God.

Begin Exercise Again

Just walked 3 miles on the treadmill over a period of 60 minutes. I did wear the heartrate monitor. It did not give a reading higher than 131 bpm. It did feel great to get past that point. I will work the exercise into my daily schedule again throughout the coming week.

Not exercising with no reduction in calorie intake kept me moving up the weight scale. I went from 194 to 204 in the past two weeks.

Weekend of Relaxation

Today is going to be one of quiet solitude. I know it now. Looking out the back door, across the green grass to the trees at the edge of the lot, my attention is captured by the blurred movement of humingbirds. In harmony, they appear to be performing a dance, as they manuever for position at the feeder. As soon as one lands, another rushes in to interrupt its feeding. This is an on-going routine throughout the day.

Isn't this pretty much what we humans do all week long at our job. We like to think of ourselves as sensitive to our surroundings. While at best, we make our choices, then adapt our surroundings to compliment the issue.

Jason, Jason, and Connor

What a wonderful time spent this weekend with my son Jason, grandsons Jason Jr and Connor. I noted that both young gentlemen exhibited character traits that were investigative, innovative, and instigative.

Each spent time exploring all things new and different. First was Kandi, a tiny toy poodle that will charm most anyone. Kandi, not being used to company, is visibly shy to the point that she will get nervous shakes. For this reason she was isolated most of the time, although that in itself will prevent her from ever being un-shy. On Saturday morning Connor got up early enough to pet her for awhile. They seemed to hit it off pretty good.

Then there was the pool. Certainly not new in their life, this one was in a different place at a different time. After locating some safety articles for both, we joined the fellows in the pool. I stayed in for perhaps 30 minutes but Jason and the boys spent about 2 hours. The heat of the day made it a very enjoyable experience.

Saturday afternoon we spent at Thelma's place. Mom, Judy, Thelma, Rob, Angie, Arwen, Jason, Jason, Connor, Jeanie, and myself spent time together. This was the first time for Connor to meet many members of the family. We cooked burgers and dogs outside on the grill. Jeanie did all the major prep work the day before so I really have to give her thanks for the wonderful time we all had.

Today we all slept in and the boys woke up excited about the new day. Quickly they donned their garb for the trip north to Louisville. A breakfast of waffles and some chocolate milk made by Jeanie got them through their breakfast. Then both were off to the digitized world with the PSP and Gameboy.

Now, they are on the road to Louisville. I always love these moments spent with family and wish them a safe trip home. I always look forward to the next visit.
