Waxing a Coach and Promoting Marines (140)

Well I feel some better, today is a warm day in Naples in the 80's and a great day to add some wax to the motor home. I washed it a week ago in preperation here of this annual event when it gets its yearly protection..may take two days but it will get done before I go home to Indiana which is not too far off in my plans. Sweet Pea had a good visit as you can see in the slide show to the right here. Back in the freezer and her power is out because of 60 MPH winds in Indiana last night...Sure lots of "noise" in the news these days, congress, and wall street scrambling to cover up decades of abuse...Maybe we all need to forget looking for help, shut off the news, Trust the Lord, work hard, watch out for family and forget the handouts.
We are all in it together and together we will get through it...

Got to tell you about two opportunities today. We have all read the emails about reactions from people on airplanes as our hero's killed in action were being escorted home by members of the military and the rituals they follow. All have been touched by them or at least should have been. If you have HBO or know some one who does, or can talk someone you know, into getting it by Feb. 21 you should watch this show coming out. It is titled "Taking Chance". It is a true story about a Marine named Chance Phelps, who is killed in Iraq and about the Marines who "take him home" to be buried...No doubt one that will touch us where it leaks....keep the klenex handy.
It airs at 8 PM eastern time...find someone who has HBO and talk them into watching and inviting you over....

Last one, I have promoted before, but yesterday at the Marine Corps League luncheon my friend Randy Kington told me that the Cambier Open Air Church in down town Naples have asked him to speak at their service this Sunday at 9.30...I wrote a story on here last year in February about this same event. It was the first time I had been to that church and Randy spoke that day also..when he was done 1100 people were on their feet applauding what he had said, and the way he said it...I will be there again this Sunday, as most of this crowd will be knew. It is just a large open air stage with folding chairs all around and people on vacation come their to worship service from the nearby hotels...I like watching the effect he has on them and on me.... Have a great day the sunshine is calling...
