I’m looking forward to having the girls and the Teams during the Summer.

Pentecost and the Jewish holiday Shavuot is this coming Sunday. It marks the anniversary of the giving of the law on Mt. Sinai. I did a study on Shavuot as well as the holy mountain last night. The team from Alabama and I will be a part of the service at FBC Doraville.

Enjoying playing Avatar.

Definitely getting warmer.

Talked to Josh about the food order.

We had the Rotech man bring K another O2 concentrator. Her first one had battery problems. I left a note on the door.

There are 38 people on the team coming this Friday-Monday. I pride myself on being a detail oriented, logistical guy. That means that every place we go to has to handle a large group. When you also mix in that it involves Sunday and Memorial Day things get complicated. Not all the restaurants can take that many people. Fuji will be the first time I’ll have a big group there. We’ll see how it goes.

Talking to the restaurant managers as the meal order come together.

This weekend, I’m changing the days I do the Judaism and the Buddhism presentations to fit the holiday/church schedules.

Picked up the grandgirls at Azalea. They were with me when I talked to Fuji and Pho 24. Went to eat at Cheeseburger Bobby’s.

Penelope got a new shirt. Can you guess what this says?

The girls enjoyed the custard. I cued them with, “Take a big bite.”

Glad to get this coming. Hope it’s not too heavy to load and unload.

Language is a longevity thing. I don’t see anyone beating me this week.

I printed out the final form J needs in order to start working with his new psychiatrist.

Jodie had the memorial service for her husband Charlie last weekend. He was one of my favorite people.

OYB!

Still ironing out some details with the team coming this Friday through Monday.

I was in touch with the oxygen people at Rotech this morning. They are bringing a new machine for K tomorrow.

Getting pretty warm for May.

I did a recon of several apartments where I’ll have teams this weekend. Dropped off a card and took pictures of their signage.

Went by my office to check on mail. Processed 13 checks. Thank you, Father! Went to the bank to deposit them.

Picked up the girls at Azalea. Put the stuff I bought for the Mission inside. Took them to Waffle House.

Everly had special Stitch fingernails.

I always encourage Penelope to draw something for me. She does these fold out, surprise pictures that always crack me up.

Art by some little kid on a WH window.

The girls helped me set up for the Show. We worked about an hour.

Made sure that Pastor Bill knew about the team coming will be using our kitchen at FBCD.

Picked up groceries.

Don Cheto on the way home. Sometimes I get most of the conversation. Other times nearly zero.

Got gas and checked the oil in my car.

Watered my downstairs plants.

I’ll probably come in first place this week. I was second last week.

Vocabulario!

OYB!

Laundry.

Went to Stone Mountain to record “I Don’t Know 2.” Produced and released it. You should know this one!

Went to Clarkston for pizza, samosas and mandasi. Reminded me of Kenya days!

Ordered more wax melts. Trying new smells!

Working with Pastor Bill Kelly on the special Pentecost service next Sunday when I have my team in town.

Second place this week.

Figuring out the maps for Avatar, the new game I’m learning.

Vocabulario!

OYB!

Warmer weather. Felt great on the bike.

Big week coming up. Last few days of school and a team that starts on Friday.

Good talk with my buddy, Anthony.

Fixed a crack in one of my birdbaths. I used Gorilla Glue rather than caulk this time. The caulk peeled off. I don’t see that glue doing that.

Cleaned out the bottom of my toilet. Some kind of mineral buildup I reckon.

I got my bike ready to ride. Cleaned the frame with a lightly oiled rag and filled up the tires to 60 psi.

I passed the voting station. Even though it’s only the primary, seems like a lot of people there.

Had a great ride in near perfect weather.

Pretty close. I’m not uptight about it at all.

Vocabulario!

Español!

Beautiful!

Cleaned and refilled my hummingbird feeders.

Watered my outdoor plants.

Put suet in my feeders.

Raked and cleaned my outdoor carpet.

Restacked the pinecones around my St. Francis shrine.

Looks better!

Went to Walmart to pick up supplies for the Mission.

Watered the plants on the deck.

I bought this to put in the window. Lovely.

Took my Mom to get her hair done.

Most of my orchids are blooming now.

Studying Avatar. It’s a new game I’m playing. I bought it a couple of years ago.

Just keep going.

OYB!

Beautiful WX!

Great time with my buddy Jon. I was sorry to hear his dog Bella had died. She was one of my favorites.

Voted and put the absentee votes for J, K and Nana in the lock box.

Called Rotech about the problem we’re having with K’s mobile concentrator.

Trying to keep these things going.

Called Xfinity/Comcast to have their techs check the line. They said they’ve had work in our area but should be better than ever soon.

Talked with Josh Nichols about the number on his team he was bringing, lunches and the Sunday at FBC Doraville.

I wanted to get a confirmation about J’s taxes.

Another day, a few more neurons wired.

K and I are going to get away for a few days while the grandgirls are at the beach with their folks. Did some research on Tybee Island, Clayton and Chattanooga. Not sure where we’ll go yet.

I’m thinking about having a little store for the kids at the Mission for PE to manage. Lots of opportunities to do math and business and marketing. Figuring out how many in a box, how much for each one when we buy in bulk, what’s a good price . . . all that stuff.

I’ll be part of the program on Pentecost Sunday at FBC Doraville. My team will be with me too.

Trump phones. What a grift.

OYB!

Some follow up with Bradley who is the main guy I work with in Servant Life who sends me teams.

Español!

I first started getting this AARP offer stuff over a decade ago. Then I felt a little offended. Now, seems reasonable.

Did my laundry.

Part of my ceiling cover came loose. I stapled it back in place.

I filled out the absentee voter documents for K, J and Nana. I plan on voting after I eat lunch with Jon tomorrow.

Vacuumed the house. Cleaned up around K’s chair. I fell a few days ago and knocked over a lot of her stuff. I clean the vacuum every time I use it. Keeps it working great.

Worked on setting up the Mission for several hours today. Got the Nintendo 64 hooked up and playing.

Gigantic amount of stuff to go through, throw away, donate or give to the kids.

I help coordinate Nana’s PT schedule.

Don Cheto on the way home.

J and I filled out the absentee voter stuff. They all signed their own.

Don’t stop.

OYB!

Hoodie weather.

Took Mom to her doctor’s appointment at Georgia Retina.

Still planning for the team coming in two weeks.

Went to the Mission to organize and keep cleaning things out. Making progress. The kids had fun. I gave a lot of stuff away.

This thermostat seems to run the fan from time to time. Weird. I let the Manager know about it.

You know the drill.

Vocabulario!

I keep in touch with the teams that are coming.

OYB!

Getting warmer.

As I predicted.

Refilled the feeders by my study area outside.

Took my Mom to the foot doctor. The treatment we have been doing the last three months seems to be working.

The doctor also recommended getting this lotion for her feet.

Preach.

Meds I get for J.

Ordered groceries.

So much to learn.

K and I picked up the girls and went to Waffle House.

Art!

What does this mean?

We went to help the kids at the Mission. While we were there, one of the boys told me that the guys that had been living at the Mission had moved out. AMEN! So I sent the manager a message.

So I immediately went in and checked to make sure no one was there. They’d gone! So I started organizing the closet to get my place running again.

The guys had left some stuff.

I told the manager I hardly ever use the AC.

I made a pile of stuff to throw away.

Picked up groceries on the way home.

Trying to figure out the Democratic ballot.

I’ll be in the top three this week.

OYB!

Ended up not having to do this.

Español!

Beauty WX!

Went by Goodwill to check on hats. Didn’t find any that I liked.

Went to the bank to deposit money.

Got gas and checked the oil.

Recorded Verbal Surgery “Razor Blunt” at Stone Mountain.

Went to Walmart to get some goodies for my Mom and Kathy as well as some medicine for K. Got a new orchid for me . . . I mean my Mom!

Always great to hear from my mentor Fred Sorrells.

Produced and released my podcast and posted on Facebook.

I’ll come in second place this week.
