Ashley, Penelope, Everly and I enjoyed briefing our team from N. Gwinnett Church.





We took then on Safari to the Buford Highway Farmers Market.

Another family came to visit!

Great to have all my girls together!

Fun group!

The sisters had fun.

Kissing the frozen Cow Head. They kiss its enormous frozen tongue! Crazy talk I get people to do.

Love these girls!


Got some groceries while I was at the Farmers Market. Fruit!

The team did great at the missions!






Great day at the missions!
Came home to ride my bike 6.92 miles.
I saw this lady working in the yard. I have the same hat.

The Sunflowers were in full bloom!




Loved the pansies.


Beautiful sunset!

It was a pretty hard ride. I was tired.

Worked on Spanish. Yo pienso que es mejor que portuguese.

Released a new podcast!

Verbal Surgery -540- “NEXTpectations!”

Just click on the title and GROOVE!

I recorded a new episode and put it “in the can” for next week. My bag for carrying my recorder and all the paraphenalia for recording my podcast.

Uploaded “NEXTpectations” to Facebook.

Got the check for my taxes and approval of using Esignatures for my returns.

I got an old pin while I was in Cave Spring, GA. It fits my jacket perfectly.

My car battery was dead and Kathy and Jesse had both left the house. I walked to my mechanic’s garage.

No charge! Battery was still under warranty.
My azaleas are starting to bloom.


I captured and released squirrel #14.

Went for a 7.82 mile bike ride.

Cleaned and filled my hummingbird feeders. I have four.

From out my window.

Kathy and I had a fun few days in Rome. GREAT to spend time with her. It was very cold with strong winds most days.

I had fun with bubbles.

I couldn’t believe the length of these paper towels for one use!

We visited Berry College. Home of Bald Eagles!


Even though out of town I released new Verbal Surgery!

I like to go to Cave Spring, GA to get pure water!



Historic area


Beauty.


I like Christa’s in Cave Spring. Cool stuff.




I love the colored glass.

Stopped at Pop’s Antiques. I like his signs.






Fun to see the Bald Eagles!


Best viewing of the pair with their chicks ever!


We enjoyed Las Palmas. I really liked their Sun/Moon art.







We enjoyed our trip and learning Spanish again.

I also took a look at Swahili!


I couldn’t get the PT Cruiser to start on our way home. The AAA guy tried to jump it to no avail. Battery was dead. We towed the car all the way back to Stone Mountain to get it worked on. Three cheers for AAA!

Made it home. Jesse came to help us transfer our stuff into his car to go home.

Admin duties now.

Worked on Spanish this morning. I’m testing out of as many of the categories as I can. That’s like completing seventeen lessons in a row.

Ashley, Penelope, Everly and I had a great time with our team from Midway Church.


On Safari to the Buford Highway Farmers Market!

Then to three missions!






Great group!
Edited the video that I shot.

Admin duties now.

Studied Portuguese.

After 282 days straight and 43 days added to that, I am going back to studying Spanish. Way more opportunity to converse.

Transported squirrel number eleven last night and twelve tonight. I put a towel over the cage to keep it calm.

Edited video that I shot this week of King University.

I edited it all on my iPhone 7+.

Videoshop is powerful software and really easy to use.

I love her so much.

I got a new camera today! It’s this year’s version of the Canon Elph 360 Power Shot. Fantastic camera.

My first shot with it.

I set it up and will use it. Ashley will use my old camera. It still works ok, has focus issues and lens retract problems from time to time. I decided months ago that the Iphone 7+ was just not a good enough camera for my needs. The 12x power optical zoom makes all the difference.

With this application, your iPhone can talk and transmit pictures with the camera. You can even use the camera as a remote view source!

Released a new edition of Verbal Surgery -439- “Off the Clock.”
Link on Facebook.

I put two more episodes of Verbal Surgery on my server to release next week, while K and I are out of town.

Went LIVE on Facebook with Verbal Surgery “Off the Clock.”

Did the grocery shopping.
Supplies for the three block parties tomorrow. I split the supplies up into three bags while at the Dollar Tree.

I trapped my 11th squirrel from my bird feeders last night. Released it on the other side of the river about five miles away. I put a towel over the cage to keep it calm.

I liked these little altars. Fascinating.



This soap is supposed to give you control over your son. Whoa.

Once I got the team to Azalea, I said goodbye and came back home to work on admin duties.

Just finished editing the video of the team I shot this week. It’s uploading to YouTube now.

I should be able to send the final email to them with all the links to the photo galleries and video this evening.

We have another team coming for a one day trip on Saturday.
