Catching Up-So Much to Do, So Little Time

What follows here in this post is me playing catch up . I sincerely apologize for the lack of information flow from our end of the world. Rest assured that we are well and good. The LORD is good!! We have just been very busy here as of late with school and work (I know, everyone else has the same stuff-I really have no excuse). And now around the world of news in under 30 minutes. First up: Sports.
First up in this year's dunk competition is Jarod James. He will attempt to combine his hoop skills with Parkour (the internet sensation of 2004 - the act of getting from point A to point B in the most creative way possible....without landing himself in the hospital). Next up in family news, we have Dianna and Jarod relaxing on the couch and watching Inspector Gadget 2. Very funny.
Today's "Community Spotlight" features the Tupua Family Garden. As you can see the tomatoes on the right side of the garden are coming along nicely. In the lower left corner is cilantro ( I believe); to the right of the cilantro is oregano, and just above the oregano is some green onions. There is some basil and some other salsa requirements in the other boxes. My initial estimate of the tomatoes being ready for the stick (made two weeks ago to Mom) were obviously premature. Thank you for your prayers for our garden.
Today's "This Happened on this Day Some Time Ago" segment. The Baileys from Palatka came to visit. What a grand 'ol time we had sharing food, folks, and fun. Here the grandkids pause to take a picture with Pop Pop.
Here the kids are loving on each other while eagerly awaiting to open the package from the online Disney store (which really had more things in it for Manny than it did for them).
And that is it folks! Aroung the world of news in under 30 minutes. I think we set a new record for news briefs. Well, we love you all very much and cannot wait to see everyone again. Mom and Dad, Dianna says that she has 20 kisses for each of you when she sees you. Love you all.

It is really neat that Jarod didn't even have to tippy toes to dunk the ball.

Great Job with the garden. The preparation is the key. Thanks for the new pictures. I think I will Ninja them again. Yahoo!!

Love you all. Dad
