OOps, I was SUPPOSED to be Studying...how did this get in here?

It's Your Life...

As I submitted that last posting (it will be the next one that your will see just beneath this one), and as I was rushing to try to beat a self-imposed deadline of midnight, I looked at this blog to see what time it was posted, and I heard Francesca Battistelli's song: "It's Your Life". That song is number thirteen on my "Yakking Kayaker's Playlist" (which plays songs randomly). I am not romanticising anything about the number thirteen, for I am not at all supersticious. What I am amused at though, were the lyrics that I heard in her song as I began to see my last posting. Well, to better understand what I am trying to get at, scroll down to the playlist - stop the music ( unless that song happens to be playing) - and select and listen to number 13 on that list. I do not know if I could find the lyrics and save you all that trouble, or not. Heck, I need to study, and you will probably enjoy listening anyway. Go ahead, make your day! Anyway, it sure made me grin to think about what she was singing about - after I had just posted an accounting of what stage I am at in my life! Again, love yall!!! It's your life, enjoy...Eric

A Weak Week or a Week's Weakness ?

It was Tuesday that I last submitted something to this blog. How did a week go by so fast? I suppose that it only seems to have gone by so fast because I have been reluctant to submit the material that I have typed, and therefore I feel pressured to submit something – anything - in order to meet the requirement that something is posted every week. In order to get extra-credit towards my English grade, post something every week. That is the requirement of which I write. I could easily post the 14 pages (or was 18 or more?) that I typed in preparation for Thursday’s psych test. Of course, most of that was researching and answering simple subjects identified as fifty questions. You may yet find that submitted; I am not sure. If you do see it, know that most of it was not written with the intention of forming complete sentences, and much of that which was, was simply copied straight out of the text. I think that I identified the material as being preparation for psych test number two. I am still awaiting the score form that test. I took that test Thursday. I will probably get the results tomorrow. However, at the rate that I am typing, or attempting to type and correcting my mistakes, this posting may be after . Thus, it will then be today that I expect to get my test results.
       What have I done lately? Today (if it still is), I applied for admission to ABAC (Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College). It was essentially a back-up plan for in case I do not get acceptance into Darton College. Both ABAC and Darton have a bridge program for transitioning from paramedic into nursing. I probably wasted time and money, because ABAC actually starts in the summer and Darton starts in the fall. Besides, ABAC has prerequisites that I know I have not met. Then, so does Darton. I am working on admission to both nevertheless, because either or both may reject me. We will see. I also signed-up to take an entrance examination at Darton and I contacted a service to get my old Community College of the Air Force transcripts mailed to both colleges. Just trying to jump through hoops, I am. One-step or stumble at a time. Hey, it is almost ! I think I will try to submit this before the clock rolls over another day. See ‘yall in the funny papers. Love to all!!!

Thanks Mom,

I saw your comment and I really appreciate it! Again, I know this isn't a very personal way to communicate, but, why not?!!! It is convenient, quick, easy and FREE! Again, thank yall for a great time Florida! I really enjoyed every day with yall!!! And since this picture was such a hit...

And, of course, there's got to be a picture like this next one:
                                                                       Boys will play!!!

Spring Break

                       Should a student feel guilty if they don't spend their Spring Break studying?  Not if they get to spend it with family! Take for example these pieces of evidence:
          My last day in Florida I got to spend time with two of my favorite people. Dad is one of them....

And of course, Mom is another one of them. Thanks to both of them for such a wonderful vacation again!!!  I can not say enough to express my appreciation. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there...THANKS AGAIN!!!
                    And the sunset...did I mention they brought me to another beautiful beach sunset?  I pray we get to share many more together! Maybe we will see some warmer ones soon.
                                                        Dad has spotted a leaning flag pole...


          By the next afternoon this pole was upright. No, Dad did not spend two days pushing against it.
There was actually a tractor and a work-crew working to upright it the very next day. I suppose the county did not want to risk having a lawsuit brought on them by a family of a strained concerned citizen.  Just kidding Dad!
                                                                   
                 Estimated age 2500 years old: "The Governor"- no, not Dad- the bald CYPRESS TREE!!!


           The Governor is located at the end of this elevated walkway -which is near the "Nature Center"...




                                                          just past and to the right of ...
                                                                 295 Big Cedar Road...
$600.00/month!!!
I might should try to keep this place a secret!
Maybe someone or some people would like to share renting this site for a month...riverfront property, near Ebro, Florida...just look at some of the high points:
electrical outlets surround this lot, as do lights,

covered, tall car (camper) port,

covered observation/fish cleaning deck,

floating dock, well-anchored stairs/steps,

 tie-downs for the camper, water outlets, hoses, phone jack, sewerage....much more!!!

OK, enough about the riverfront lot....

                            How often does a man get to see his father teach his Great-Grandson
                                               how an experienced railroad man drives a train?

                      It certainly is not everyday that I get to enjoy these two pacemakers either!!!
                                                     Finally warming up to Grandpa Sam
                                          Not shy about being held by Great-Grandma Norma
                                   A walk past a pelican who appears to be awaiting a certain fate.
                                              And what is perhaps a flight of encouragement
                                                                 Oversized  Toddler
OK, so I did not take this picture on vacation...but I received it then!
                                         Papa and two more excellent reasons to go to Florida.

Well, I could spend all night with these pictures and reminising...but I need to start back to studying...school starts back tomorrow!!!

Tiana, You're Welcome!!!

Tiana,
      You are very welcome! Sorry it has taken me so long to respond; I did not notice the comment  when you posted it. Thank you for the response and for the compliments. How about more pictures? Ready for some more, or can we just go float and make some more pictures? Yeah, I know, it's not a very personal way to communicate. But we have nothing to hide and I couldn't wait to ask you about floating! Besides, I did try to call on the phone. Seriously, I may have to wait until the break in between Spring and Summer classes now. It is Spring Break already...and I...well....I am considering "flying South". Call me, please. Thanks, love you, too!!!

There was a graph of the river level here; I did not know it would not save it after it was obsolete...disregard!Better yet, let's see what it is on Sunday, March 6th, at 2345. This time I'll try to save it as a picture.
