Mushroom Mania

So it is Morel season and my wife tells me I am obsessed with mushrooms. OK it is true but she won't turn down a plate full of the most tasty mushrooms know to man when I offer them to her. Other than people who have eaten too many at one sitting and got sick, I can't think of anyone who doesn't love the succulent taste of a morel mushroom dredged in flour and fried in olive oil or butter. My mouth is literally watering as I type these words. I need my morel fix for the year!!!! Other than that I am thrilled to let you all know that I went golfing this week and evben though I stunk up the course I had a very good time with Levi (my co worker) we didn't set the course on fire but we enjoyed ourselves and got to know each other better. I will enjoy getting Tina on the course and helping her perfect her game. So there you go. I am back and rambling......feels good.

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!!!!

Quick post because it is just about 9 pm and that is call home time!!! God is good and he will see our family throuhg this time of turmoil (our close friends know of what I speak) On the other side of all this we will say "OHHHHH I get it!!!" So that keeps me going and I hope it will keep anyone who reads this going when the going is soooooo tough. (hint: God knows what He is doing)

Easter

Ok so I tend to just Ramble about whatever comes to my head and this weekend the thing that comes to mind is family and when that comes to mind I think in bigger terms than the people here on earth that I am related to. My family is my relatives AND the family of Christians that I have. This weekend we recognize that our namesake and saviour gave his life for us and tomorrow we celebrate the fact that he AROSE and we don't have to worry about death. Cross that one off you list of worries and if He took care of that then he most likely took care of the little things to worry about. I used to tell my wife to not worry about the little things and .....are you ready for this bit of insight?......they are all little things. Remember through the easter candy and the bunnies and the chocolate and ..... well you get it, that Christ is the reason we are together today in spirit.

Walking is fun and painful

I went for a nice long walk tonight in Coonskin State Park. It is a nice place with all the necessary things including a pool and walking trails and YES an 18 hole golf course. I should have known that in West Virginia that a walking trail actually means you are mountain climbing. I set my jaw and started up this trail and where, in Ohio, you reach the top of the hill in WV you are just getting started. I got to the top of the trail and had a real cool view of the airport and of the surrounding countryside. It was cool but my calves were screaming by the time I reached the car an hour later. Not to worry, I am fine and dandy and ready to give it another whirl later. Tina called after I got in the car and found THE GOLF COURSE!!!! and told me that Rhonda was attacked by a rogue stick attached to a twin and got a pretty bad injury to her eye. R, I am praying for your eye. Next time go to the doctor!!!!! Anywho, I am rambling....where was I...... oh yeah looks like tomorrow the 80 degree weather is taking a break so the global cooling can take over for a while. Walks will have to wait (I am not a hard core walker) So there you go walking is good clean fun that hurts but helps.
