Outdoor Grilling

I love cooking outside, it seems that the food always tastes better cooked outside, I really like cooking on either wood or Charcoal but we have Gas Grills here so that is what I have to use.

Last night I cooked Shish-ka-Bobs, fresh tomatoes, onions and some mushrooms with lean cut bottom round steak,  they were delicious !

We are " NOT " enjoying our Camper Free life style but we do not hesitate in our Travels to stop and look if we see a camper "For Sale" parked by the road.  Who Knows what we will buy next time !    I think we have had 6 or 8 Campers plus also a Van or 2 !

Time will Tell,  Hope Everyone has a great Labor Day weekend. we have not made any Plans as September 2nd is our 29th Wedding Anniversary !

Don't forget our Veterans !    

Music !

I have always it seems had a Guitar, I can remember the first one I got, it was a Kay, Arch Top F Hole,  it looked something like this one ! I am about 14 years old ! 
.

.

My next guitar was a Silvertone Electric Guitar,  I worked on a farm and saved up the whopping sum of $75.00 and got it from Mail Order at Spiegel, May- Sterns Catalog.

.

.I played in High school with a couple guys, we played mostly Country Music.

.

.

I was also pretty good on the Banjo and played it for years and I can still play chords and back up !  Above picture is when I came home and dug it out of the closet at Mom and Dads !

.

.

I was back then lucky as I came across a Guy hard up for some cash who wanted extra cash for "Liberty" and I bought this handsom electric Guitar for pennies on the dollar,  I learned I didn't care for Electric Guitars, Amplifiers and Microphones but would rather play acoustic.

.

.

.

.

I also picked up the Dobro Resonator Guitar !!!!!!  I love the "Twang" !!!!!

.

.

Above is my Son Jonathan learning some tunes from me !

.

.

After the Navy I kept Plying, while in the Navy I was always lucky enough that the COB liked Country Music and was allowed to play about the Ship when not busy !

.

.

My son was home from Portland Oregon last year and was lucky enough to get him to play a few tunes with the Old Man !!!  He is a fantastic player, far better than his Dad !!!!!!

.

.

I now have 2 Mandolins and am having fun with them !

.

Time to Take my Meds and relax,   Don't forget, Remember our Vets !

Music can charm !

I am back playing in the Nursing Homes and Assisted Living and Hospitals and senior citizen housing places.  I enjoy the music, laughter and smiles.
.

.

We are fortunate that most of our music we play is what a lot of the people we visit and sing to know a lot of these Old Hymns, Praise Songs, Country Songs and sing along songs !

. 

.

Above is the "Friends Of God" I play in and enjoy !

.

.

This is "Music Ministry Messengers" and we also enjoy playing and having a good time !

.

Just got home, gonna take my Pills and call it a night !!!!

Don't Forget, Remember our Vets !
