Okeechobee Sunset

at 03/01/10 7:08PM *

I just spent a few days with my folks in Okeechobee...and this afternoon we went to two beaches on the coast and took a boat ride on the lake to witness a beautiful Florida sunset.

I have enjoyed the short visit with my parents and other relatives, while Diane is doing the same with her mom and aunt over in Port Charlotte.

Hooray for families and making memories together!

Snow at my house...PART 2

at 02/09/10 9:27AM *

Here are some shots of the snow, which continues to come down and shows no sign of stopping until sometime tomorrow! Schools are out all around us, and we prepared yesterday by laying in groceries, popcorn and movies. Gavin and Diane are both happy for the family time...me too! I am thankful that I have a job with a HOME OFFICE. Enjoy our snow-scapes!

Captions are above each photo:

"No more dinner on the deck, huh?"

Deck Benches

I think the railing actually looks BETTER like this...

Our backyard and woods.

"You must be taller than this to be called a REAL snowfall."

"Just how deep is it?"

"Is there a driveway under there somewhere?"

Our front yard and street...

I THINK that is a sidewalk...

Lonely streets this morning...

7.5 inches and counting...

pretty!

I miss this view of the snow (that is, from the house)!

by aleta at 02/09/10 9:44AM
Sure does look pretty!

by derbydi at 02/09/10 9:49AM
we just shoveled 5 inches off our drive way. took an hour and a half with the three of us working at it.

by squirrel at 02/09/10 10:51AM
Good thing you've got one boy left at home to shovel for you!

by textilet at 02/09/10 11:23AM
Homesick for home but not that snow. Want to see a little Alabama snow come on down.

by squeaky at 02/09/10 11:45AM
How beautiful!! Glad you're all snug inside, unless you're up to a good snowball fight!!

by sherelyn at 02/09/10 12:26PM

by rainout at 02/09/10 3:30PM
Love the beautiful pictures!! Have a fun Party.

Now THAT is some serious snow!

Snow at my house...

at 01/30/10 9:59AM

Went to bed last night with about an inch...

Woke up with 5 inches and it is still lightly snowing. The sun is shining brightly, so I'm not exactly sure how it is still snowing. What a beautiful scene on a Saturday morning!

same here!! It snowed all day yesterday.... very beautiful this morning.

How's my favorite Bruce Key? Staying out of trouble, I hope. We should get together soon. Maybe lunch or something. If it would help you work it into your schedule, we could eat and discuss lots of important "business" and call it a business lunch. ;~)

by brockeroo at 02/01/10 3:07PM
Mr. Bruski...what does your week of Feb. 14-20 look like? Next week is going to be a bit rough for me. I know you travel, though, so I can work around your schedule. Let me know what you think.

by brockeroo at 02/05/10 12:18AM

I STILL like Pleonast better than Facebook.

at 01/14/10 6:57AM

This was my first social network and it still suits my needs better than the ever-so-popular other one. Too much junk over there!

Over here, you can just post something and share comments. Refreshingly simple.

Good day everyone!

Ditto. STILL.

by aleta at 01/14/10 9:09AM
yep.

by turner120995 at 01/14/10 9:28AM
i'm thinking about starting a "go pleo" page on facebook.
except, that would defeat my purpose.

by monk at 01/14/10 10:07AM
I agree!

by flgranny at 01/14/10 11:11AM
Simple is nice!

by purky at 01/14/10 5:29PM
amen and can i hear another amen!!!!!

by squeaky at 01/15/10 2:48PM
You, brother, I have missed dearly. You were one of the ones I thought about as I posted last night. You are such a bright spot in my life, and I was so hoping that you would stop by and send me a comment. Lo and behold, you were the first to do so. ;~)

Paul amazes me as well. He certainly seemed to have a grasp on "balance" that eludes most of us most of the time...at least it does me. He certainly seemed to understand when soft was needed and when harsh was needed. He demonstrated both...everything from his softness with Philemon to his fiery censure of Elymas in Acts 13. He knew what was needed, when it was needed. Maybe our problem boils down to just not knowing our brethren in the first place. It's kind of hard to know how to handle a situation with someone if you don't know them to begin with.

Anyway, I am so looking forward to reconnecting with you, Bruce. You have been such a blessing to me in the time we have known each other. Tell Diane hi for me. I hope that our actual paths cross very soon. For now, I am so happy that our virtual paths crossed. ;~)

by brockeroo at 01/16/10 1:16AM
No kidding. BTW, saw that you're speaking on the Truth Lectures. Almost thou persuadeth me to fly to Kentucky. :)

by jlmanager at 01/20/10 1:05PM
^ Funny, John!

I Woke Up in My Own Bed this Morning!

Strange, you say? Well, yes. That is an unusual occurrence for me, and I absolutely LOVED it. There is a certain feeling that you have when you first begin to open your eyes and see familiar surroundings. I call it the "feeling of home." I just laid there for a moment, thinking about the other precious souls that were sleeping under the same roof and counted my blessings (again).

Our travels have ended for a while and we will settle down to the hustle-bustle of hometown life for a while. It is great to have Grayson home from college and Gavin is taking advantage of that...the pestering began from the first moment they laid eyes on each other!

We enjoyed our trip to Orlando, but learned that this is not the time of year to go. A few years ago, it was a slow time at Disney; but now, anytime there is a "school break" it gets crowded. The busiest week of the year just happens to be the week between Christmas and New Year's Day, so I'm glad we're not there NOW. Still, we had fun and enjoyed our family time with Mickey.

We arrived safely in Louisville on Christmas Eve and had our family time together Thursday evening. And then, Friday we drove to Cincinnati to visit Diane's family for Christmas Day. We got home last night at about 11 PM. Ohhhh, that bed looked really good to me.

Now, we focus on family and friends as we get ready to ring in the New Year!

Happy Holidays and many happy "returns!"

welcome home!
we love you.

by monk at 12/26/09 12:25PM
I'm ready for some chilling out, too!

by derbydi at 12/26/09 4:14PM
Hope to see y'all tomorrow night!

by bravedave at 12/27/09 12:34AM
sorry about your aunt, looks like you'll be leaving your bed again. :(

by rainout at 12/30/09 12:41PM
^Yep. You got THAT right. Oh well, it will be waiting for me...

by bruski at 12/30/09 10:26PM
We tried to go one year on the 28th - they weren't letting anyone into the Magic Kingdom because it was at capacity.
