Our son’s Christmas Eve and Christmas Day shifts started at 5:00 AM. Waiting for him to return home before our ‘festivities’ allowed Santa’s helpers extra prep time.

That was a blessing.

Today was the most prepared i’ve ever been for Christmas.

Today was the most joy i’ve ever experienced for Christmas.

What time are the fireworks?

Dinner. Across the street from Disney’s Magic Kingdom Cast Member parking lot. Disney University is in view too.

What time are the fireworks?

It was dark, but it wasn’t even 7:00 PM yet.

We confirmed what we thought, fireworks at 9:00 PM.

Sometimes Magic Kingdom fireworks are at 6:00 PM or 7:00 PM.

Different timing will make viewing the fireworks effortless. Closeup. Free. Stunning.

All part of our “palm trees and sunshine” community perks.

Never gets old.

Happy 60th birthday Cheryl

Peace and contentment. Let’s not lose this as we age. Let’s master it.

No one remembers the 12 years of various sizes of blow-up pools we had before our in-ground pool.

 

Toddler in yard
There were and continue to be wild animals all around us. Trapped humanly and released into a wilder area.

Happy 60th birthday Cheryl.

We hope it’s a simple one that you never forget.

Having a partner you can count on helps with personal organization

Love flourishes no matter the weather

 

Having a partner you can count on helps with personal organization. We know this.

But not until serious illness or injury is it brought home in a way that literally brings us to our knees.

Cheryl, thank you for:

  • driving me to hospital for surgery
  • staying for hours to take me home
  • representing our Family at Mike’s Celebration of Life
  • mowing the grass
  • cooking
  • fetching
  • cleaning
  • caring
  • supporting
  • encouraging

This is just in the past few days.

The Truth Hurts And The Truth Can Set Us Free

Jack the bear goes everywhere jeff noel, The Blog Whisperer, goes.

The truth is, I don’t publicly thank my wife Cheryl often enough for picking up many, many loose ends at home. Cheryl does this humbly and with a servant’s heart because she knows I must write and writing takes time. If you want to be good at anything, you must devote yourself to it. Our Family is a team and we rely on each other to make positive things happen. Thank you Cheryl.
