Through The Years!

Dear Ones,
Through the years I have written this blog for our family and friends as it was initiated on
October 24, 2002. 
The early posts on It Is A Good Life did not have a format for placing pictures in my blog.
This changed and my first pictures were posted on July 1, 2004.
It is said that a  'picture speaks a thousand words' and in some cases this is true.
As you  know, all of our families lives changed when our dear one, Dad, Pops, Poppa, my Honey,
went to the very real 'Good Life' Heaven on Sept. 21, 2013.
What has not changed is that our Families priorities remain the same....
GOD, FAMILY AND OUR COUNTRY, THE GOOD OLE USA!

There is so much goodness in the Land of the Living."

This is the Island of Anquilla.  We took a day ferry from Margot, St. Marteen to this British
Island which is very natural and primitive.  It is a Paradise Sea Shore.

Man is WITHOUT Excuse!

For ever since the world was created,
people have seen the earth and sky.
Through everything God made,
they can clearly see His invisible qualities—
His eternal power and divine nature.
So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
(Romans 1:20 NLT)

(paraphrase)......"man is 'without excuse' saying,
"There is NO God!" when looking at the beauties of nature"

This was a special time of Praise and Inspiration
at the Grand Canyon
on June 1992....

Celebrating Lynn's Birthday, Finally!

Our Family has postponed this Celebration several times and last night it finally came to pass.
We met at Outback on Sheldon and the food and delivery time was terrible.
They did compensate us and yet it turned out 'good' because we had longer than usual celebration time together.

Week-End in Okeechobee Fun

Seeing friends and family in Okeechobee this week-end was a treat for Charlie and I.
Sam & Sally welcomed us with open arms and brother Dockie and 'Sister' Annie P. arrived in their
 'Eagle's Nest' Carver to 'Sam's Fish Fry Feast'.....
Felt like 'old times' :)

Sally's son, Gary, Ann and Family also came so it was like a Family Reunion.
Miss Cheerleader, Kinsley, has grown up so much...
Kinsley is sooo excited to be having a new baby brother in March...
Congratulations Michelle & T J....
Mom, Michelle, watches over phone conversation
Charlie & I rode back to Dockie & Annie P.'s 'waterfront dock cottage'  on
the Eagle's Nest and it was a very inspiring 'old river' cruise...
Entering Eagle's Nest Landing
SURPRISE!  Sam & Sally Greet us :)
Eagle's Nest Cottage....with new walk way....ask Annie P. about the 'painting'!!!
Awesome Sunset over the River....God's Gift daily :)
