Ponce Inlet Lighthouse a repost........

A “MY QUALITY TIME” & Our World Tuesday Post





Walk inside the white picket fence and step back in time. The Ponce Inlet Lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse in Florida and the second tallest masonry lighthouse in the country second only to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Visitors can climb 203 steps to the top of the 175 foot tower and enjoy magnificent views of the World's Most Famous Beach, Ponce Inlet, and surrounding inland waterways from the lighthouse gallery deck.  READ MORE  or take a Virtual tour














High-quality glass Fresnel lenses were used in lighthouses, where they were considered state of the art in the late 19th and through the middle of the 20th centuries; most are now retired from service.  Lighthouse Fresnel lens systems typically include extra annular prismatic elements, arrayed in faceted domes above and below the central planar Fresnel, in order to catch all light emitted from the light source.  READ MORE

An easy one tank trip from Lancaster, Ohio to Kidron,Ohio and Lehman’s Hardware.. a destination in itself.

The kind of ancestors you have is not as important as the ones your children have.

The best things in life are not things.. A family that works together, grows together.

Keeping a neat house is like threading beads on a string with no knot on it.

Honeytown is a fun and upbeat four-piece group of talented musicians from Kidron, Ohio featuring Tim Shue, Nate Gundy, Kevin Himes and Toby Hazlett. READ MORE…. Honeytown at Lehman’s in Kidron,Ohio

Very few burdens are heavy if everyone lifts.

Pray for a good harvest but continue to hoe.

He is the happiest, be he peasant or king, who finds peace at home.

Marriage may be made in Heaven but man is responsible for the upkeep.

Half done is far from done.

Instead of putting others in their place, put yourself in their place.

If at first you succeed, try not to look astonished.

Experience is a different teacher; giving you the test first and the lesson later

And she said she was looking for a can opener. I think I’ll try to keep her happy…

In youth we learn, in age we understand.

To return good for good is human, to return good for evil is divine.

My job is to take care of the possible and trust God with the impossible.

TOYS TOYS TOYS TOYS TOYS TOYS TOYS TOYS TOYS TOYS

If you must doubt, doubt your doubts, not your beliefs.

Difficulty is a miracle in its first stage.

If you aim at nothing, you're bound to hit it.

If you want a place in the sun, you will have to expect some blisters.

It takes both rain and sunshine to make the garden grow.

Most importantly; check out some of my other blog posts…………

Thanks for stopping by and keep on smiling.

What it takes to be successful in life

This is a strictly .....  mathematical  viewpoint on life and it goes like this:

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:  If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z.. Is  represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26. Then: H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K

8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 =  98%.. And

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E 

11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96% But ,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E 

1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100% And,

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T 

2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you. A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G 

1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7  = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that while Hard work and Knowledge  will get you close, and Attitude will get you there. Its  the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the  top.

Have a Quality Time Day…

Came in an email…………………

A Golfer’s Story

One day, while an elderly golfer was chipping his ball from near a water hazard, his club fell into the water.

When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying?"  The golfer replied that his club had fallen into water, and he needed the
club to win the tournament to supplement his meager pension. The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden club.  "Is this your club?" the Lord asked. The golfer replied, "No."
The Lord again went down and came up with a silver club. "Is this your club?" the Lord asked.
Again, the golfer replied, "No." The Lord went down again and came up with an iron club. "Is this
your club?" the Lord asked. The golfer replied, "Yes."
The Lord was pleased with the golfer's honesty and gave him all three clubs to keep, and the golfer went home happy. Sometime later the golfer was walking with his wife along the water hazard, and she fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord again
appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?"
"Oh Lord, my woman has fallen into the water!"
The Lord went down into the water and came up with Kate Upton. "Is this your woman?" the Lord asked.
"Yes," cried the golfer. The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!" The golfer replied, "Oh, forgive me Lord. It is a misunderstanding.
You see, if I had said 'no' to Kate Upton, You would have come up with Jennifer Anniston. Then if I said 'no' to her, you would have come up with my wife. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. And Lord, I am an old man not able to take care of all three women in a way that they deserve, that's why I said yes to Kate Upton." And God was pleased. The moral of this story is: If a golfer ever tells a lie, it is for a good and honorable reason, and only out of consideration for others!

Have a great day…
