    Good morning, ya'll. Hope ya'll have a SPECTACULAR SONDAY. Goat Town Weather Channel reports 41⁰ outside, 68 inside, went out and got a few small sticks, built a small far, 72⁰ now. Foggy, heading to 78⁰.
    Heading to church this morning, probably eat lunch with my SIL, Becky, she's doing better since her toe surgery Thursday. Then our spring revival starts tonight. In the spare time, got to get camper packed for a short trip, leaving Monday. Going to meet an old FHC friend, Nitro Dave. They have been down in FLA and stopped in West GA to camp a few days. Met him in '19 at Backwoods Savage GTG.
    I forgot to mention we were going to a fund raising dinner/gala last night for Wesley Glen Ministries...a wonderful organization...here's a link to what they do...
    Wesley Glen Ministries – Macon, Georgia
    We had a great time with friends, had 9 at our table.
    They have different items for a silent auction, also sold raffle tickets. Had a beautiful HD motorcycle that was being raffled off...:eek::eek:...or a car...your choice...
    Last year they raised a bit over 500K...
    Several foundations and trusts gave sizable amounts this year...biggest single donation was 150k from a family trust...
    But it's time to brag on the real HERO of the night...the ONE ABOVE who pours out HIS BLESSINGS on us...
    I wish I had started :ithappened:earlier when it first started... 20260228_193442.jpg
    We had a very big crowd, over 100 tables... 20260228_193507.jpg
    The Grapevine Band was playing some oldies rock... 20260228_194049.jpg
    They let one of the residents, "neighbors" on the campus, get on stage with them. He had a blast... 20260228_194006.jpg 20260228_194133.jpg 20260228_194213.jpg
    Of course The Blues Brothers made an appearance...:thumbs::thumbs: 20260228_194818.jpg
    Don't know yet the total amount raised, we left a bit early...but as Jerry Clower used to say "Ain't GOD Good"...
    Last amount we saw... 20260228_202025.jpg
    About double what they raised last year. Can I get an AMEN...

    They shared that there are 1800 people in GA alone that qualify for their program with IDD...
    The Macon campus is full, the good news, in a couple months they are opening another campus in Columbus, Ga.
    Many successful stories were shared last night.
    Hope we can go next year, we're thinking about donating a cord of farwood for the auction.
    Sorry for the long post, but it was on my heart.
    Be blessed, be a blessing.
    GOD LOVES YOU AND ME

    Below zero temps greetings from the U.P. this Sunday morning.

    Heading to church is the highlight of the day.

    Maybe a shopping trip in the next couple of days?

    Good morning.

    47/60 sun, clouds, & maybe some rain.

    Church meeting and resting today.

    The boys and I got the roof mostly finished, but ran short on shingles..... due to the man is too cheap.

    Have a blessed Sunday folks!

    Morning all. Foggy and frosty this morning. Supposed to clear off to sunshine again. Beautiful day yesterday.

    Church business meeting today and lots of Canadian men's curling this week in St. John's, Newfoundland. 4 1/2 hours difference in time zones so up early to catch the first game.

    Quite the successful fund raiser T.Jeff Veal
    I hope it doesn't rain on the unfinished roof Sawdust Man

    Everyone have a great day.

    I'm glad to see you beginning to get.the spring thaw. We had about 3"+ rain Thursday night, it was mud season Friday on the woodyard... 20260228_082355.jpg 20260228_085100.jpg
    Need to scrape that dirt up and make a raised garden. That's years of saw chips and bark rotted...

    Good morning. 19 now heading to the low 40s.

    Finishing up pruning my apple trees today, and cleaning up the brush by making a batch of kindling.

    That is a comfy set-up T.Jeff Veal!
