Things I love

If it wasn't for the grace of God what would we do? I give Him all the praise and glory for everything good in my life. It is amazing how much he loves even me.


Linda is really my other half and she does so much to keep my life happy and on track. She has so helped me be the better person I hope I am.




Hard to find words to express how much my little Rocky means to me. Life is just so much better when I can hold him and share love.




I can tell in so many ways how my friends in the blog world have helped me through difficult times and brought joy into my days.



Anyone who really knows Odie knows that I am perfectly happy as long as I can hear banjo music especially if someone talented like Steve Martin is doing the picking.







I not only love to cook, it is therapy for this old guy. I can get lost in my cooking and recover from a bad day just preparing a meal.




My sweet wife can verify that one of my all time favorite times of the week is 12:00 PM on Sunday when "In the kitchen with David Venable" comes on QVC. So If I am not cooking I like to see others cook and demonstrate cooking equipment.







What man doesn't love his recliner, the remote and something cool to drink.







I love all of the Bourne series and have watched them over and over again & cannot wait for #4 to come out. Don't know for sure if there will be a 4th but I was hoping.







One of my favorite things to see is a green light because that means I do not have to slow down on the mission I am on.











And if it isn't a green light that makes me happy it is an open road with no slow pokes in front of me to hinder my journey.










I love the total experience you get while on a cruise ship being disconnected from the world and getting rest and a break from life as we knew it.











My daughter will love this one as Duplin Winery in southern NC makes some awesome wine and my favorite has to be Black River Red.














I love beautiful scenery and nothing is as striking as a reflective scene where you get the mirror image in water. I simply love it.

House sitting in Sicily

A sweet cousin of mine recently had the joy of house sitting for a family in Sicily on of all things, a winery. Her husband's father was born in Sicily so it was a treat for both of them to be there and experience their culture that has not been contaminated by McDonalds & Burger King. To look at the villages is to see what was seen hundreds of years ago which is unique in this world today. These are just pictures I pulled from Google but you get the idea. They have an active volcano there that was spewing ash on the property she was looking after. Enjoy the scenery. It is about the size of South Carolina and is what you see when you look at a map of Italy with the island at the end of the boot.
