I met with pastor Tony Junior yesterday morning. We had a very nice meeting. I think him so much for allowing us to have the service for Harriet At Sonrise.

Pastor Tony mentioned how nice the service was and also the great fellowship that everyone had after the service and I totally agree. Think you want to know for making it possible.

Looking forward to going over to Tanner's and Bri's for dinner tonight. Daniel will be there also.

I hope you have a great day,

Did you happen to see the "Blood Moon" send the evening/night? I received a picture that one of the ladies in our church took and I'm including it. Looks pretty radical.

Thank you Linette and Tracy for the picture.

The word for today: Psalms 16:8, I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Have a great day, Maranatha,

We had a great praise and worship service yesterday morning at church!

The message I preached use the text in 1st Samuel, when David fought with Goliath. Many of us have giants that we must face in our everyday life. They may not be 9 feet tall, nevertheless they are just as formidable. The importance of remembering that the battle belongs to the Lord and with God all things are possible is imperative.

I still miss my beautiful girl! I guess that's how it's going to be for a long time.

You know what day it is today? "Today is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!"  Him you will go to church this morning and worship the Creator of the universe, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Daniel is doing better and better each day driving his stick shift little pickup truck. He's very thankful for it and has mentioned quite a few times how he loves his truck.

Harriet had a couple of pictures in the Bible, inside the front cover. That's the reason I'm sharing this next picture with you. Because it was important to her.

I am not sure when this picture was taken, but I know it was taken at In and Out hamburgers in Santee California. Samuel with no front teeth. The little guy is Mathew if it is recent, the past year or so. If not than it is Ethan. When Hilda reads the Blog she will straighten this out, look for her comment. And of course Grandpa.
Harriet loved this pic.

Now a pic of Harriet.

What can I say, but that's my Girl!

The adventure continues. Daniel is improving his shifting abilities with his pickup truck. On Saturday morning he can check out of the transitional housing at 6 AM and he doesn't have to be back until Sunday evening. This gives them the opportunity to spend the night at my house.

Daniel wanted to go surfing this morning, so he came by yesterday evening before Bible class and we tried out putting my surfboard into the back of his  pick up truck. I'm attaching a picture of the pickup truck with the surfboard. This is the truck that his brother Joe bought for Daniel. It really is a nice little vehicle. Especially for young man. It gives Daniel the opportunity to learn how to drive a stick and everybody needs a pickup truck or some type of conveyance that can carry things around. (Like a surfboard)

The surfboard has a cover or surf board bag that I made and that's why it has all that floral design. It is to protect the vehicle from the wax that's on the deck of the surfboard and also to help protect the surfboard.

This is my favorite picture of our son Joe and Harriet. The picture was taken on Sunday, May 10 of this year. Harriet was still doing really good and the cancer not come back  yet






I'm expecting to get the replacement keys for my van today, they are aftermarket smart keys that have to be programmed. But they are much cheaper doing it this way then going to the dealership and buying the keys there.

I'm going to include some pictures I have already posted on the blog because, it's my blog and I can do what I want to do. That sounds like a rebellious 2-year-old doesn't it? I'm being totally frank with you as I always them, I miss my wife and I guess I just want to put some pictures on the blog again of her.

I hope you have a fantastic weekend,

Frank

Strange day yesterday. It started off well, I got to go surfing in the morning. Daniel is still practicing his driving a stick shift.

In the afternoon I stopped at the bank and when I came out the van would not start. It was really weird because the power doors and powered tailgate all worked. But there were no lights on the dash and not even a click when you turned the key to start the car.

I ended up walking down to a mechanics place a few blocks away. I called up Wawanesa, my insurance company that has roadside assistance. After jumping through all the hoops they would send a tow truck. A little while later I called up my son Joe and told him I would need a ride. He was kind enough to come right over and we tried jumping the car. The problem was not the battery, nor in the connection on the battery.

An hour and a half after I made the initial call to the tow company they finally showed up. (Great service) when I tried to start the car a message came on the dash that it was a "bad key". It had not given me this message earlier when I tried to start the car. So we change the plan and have the van towed to my house. I figured that the battery was bad in the smart key. Joe took me to Walgreens and we got a new set of batteries and install them. It didn't do any good. So I went and found Harriet's set of keys for the van. And what's interesting is that it would not unlock the doors but it would start the car. So something is screwed up and I will have to go to the dealership today and see if they can rekey these smart keys that turned stupid.

So that entire adventure took 3 1/2 hours and it was a total waste of time.

Daniel is practicing driving his pickup truck and learning how to drive a stick shift transmission. He's making progress and as you know it just takes practice.

I get to go surfing for the 1st time since Harriet's service at the beginning of this month. It was nice to be back in the water and the water temperature is  still in the low 70s, which make it nice. It was nice to get some waves and of course to see all my friends.
