Reporting from Lancaster,Ohio a Spiritual Sunday Post
Gratitude is the best attitude
THERE ARE 86,400 SECONDS IN A DAY. USE ONE OF THEM TO SAY THANK YOU
GRATITUDE UNEXPRESSED IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS INGRATITUDE
IF YOU ARE A PERSON THAT HAS TO GET EVEN, THEN GET EVEN WITH THOSE WHO HAVE HELPED YOU.
As Always. “Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are all having a great day.”
A few photos from an early spring golf trip to Myrtle Beach ( late Feb.) for Sky Watch Friday
Blue sky and brown/dormant grass
A cloud in the sky. Back in Ohio the sky word of the day was gray. LOL
Of course the ocean
If you are interested:
Now for a preview of the upcoming Spiritual Sunday post.
For the rest of the story and more stop back on Sunday.
Thanks for stopping by
Check out Watery Wednesday for some great photos and stories
Tybee Island is an island and city in Chatham County, Georgia near the city of Savannah in the southeastern United States.
After leaving the beach at Tybee Island Linda and I strolled the quaint streets of Savannah
On the way back to Hilton Head Island we stop for a bite to eat and a view of the marshlands.
We usually stay at Palmetto Dunes (great condos) if we are at Hilton Head. A quick stop at the Outfitters
Then we stroll back to our condo for the evening
Yes there is golf; Trent Jones,Fazio,Arthur Hill (none of them are easy) Well it has been a long day but finally we are back at our Condo on St. Andrews Ct.
One of my favorite places at Palmetto Dunes is the General Store. A great place to stop for a quick breakfast or lunch ( talking fried chicken ).. The Palmetto Dunes General Store even has a page on Facebook I follow.
Joe Todd & Linda reporting from the beach saying, “Thanks for stopping by.” By the way if you think we look a little younger in these photos you are right. This is a vacation from a few years back LOL (May have used some of these photos previously. Just don’t remember.)
LANCASTER,OHIO SUMMER 2010 for That’s My World Tuesday
There is a lot going on in Lancaster this summer. A couple really great events kept me busy and I always like to take photos.
I did have a chance to go to both events but for the purpose of this post I’ll share some photos from the car show. The Gus Macker Basketball tournament took place in downtown Lancaster and the car show was at the Fairfield County Fairgrounds. In the previous post the photo of the “summer fountain” shows people attending the basketball tournament taking a break.
The mission of the Earth Angel Foundation of Ohio is to send terminally and/or life threatening ill children on dream vacations. Visit their site and be a Dream Maker.
The History: The Earth Angel founder, Denny Erwin, along with two central Ohio car clubs, The Corvettes of Lancaster and the Mid-Ohio Cruisers, joined forces to send terminally ill children on dream vacations to any destination within the continental United States. The year was 1987. CLICK to read more or CLICK for a short video ad for the show.
Well I’ll finish this post with some tractor and truck photos.
Even though it was HOT and HUMID everything was peaceful
Now you know the rest of the story.
Joe Todd reporting from the show maybe a little frazzled (worn around the edges LOL)

Independence Day, commonly known as July 4th or the Fourth of July, commemorates the Continental Congress’ adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
Linda and I hope you have a great fourth of July
Edward Moran's 1886 painting, The Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World. Did you know Lady Liberty's crown reopened on July Fourth 2009. The first visitors allowed into the Statue of Liberty's crown in nearly eight years made the arduous climb Saturday on an Independence Day journey laden with symbolism of freedom, national pride—and for one couple, romance.

How about 10 Songs to Make Fourth of July Gatherings Great. #10 “ Centerfield by John Fogerty. Baseball. Americas favorite sport. My favorite place to be on July 4th is a ball park. Centerfield is not only a song you can dance to, but it brings back those childhood memories of either playing the game, or watching it from the fence. It can also remind us of how fun it is to be an American. Play ball!.” READ MORE

There will be hard-hitting Fourth of July speeches. Remember Ronald Regan In his 1981 message on the fourth, he said, "Let the Fourth of July always be a reminder that here in this land, for the first time, it was decided that man is born with certain God-given rights; that government is only a convenience created and managed by the people, with no powers of its own except those voluntarily granted to it by the people."

“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” READ MORE……………..When was the last time you read the Declaration Of Independence?………………………………………………………………………………..
Joe Todd & Linda saying, “Thanks for stopping by.” Linda and I will be going to the Lancaster Farmers Market ..to the parade and civil war reenactment at the park. Then, Fourth of July food and fireworks this evening.
