forced update

the title of this blog is named such because of the one person who bugged me to update, and she knows who she is.....but ive been way to lax with this this year ...why have a blog if your not going to post...so here i am repenting....i think trying to write all that has happened since christmas would take me forever, so i wont......i shall insert the one big project i did for susan , our 30th anniversary was on april 6th and i wanted to make something that was for her, so i made her a very large jewlery case, and i will post its pictures today, so as to pick up where i can post a normal size post i will tell what is going on now. summer has arrived, its hot, i dont like it, and i want fall here.....we have expanded our garden this year, it has taxed my limits, and next year we will do square box gardening...as for now we have about 40 tomatoe plants, we have squash, cucumbers, bell peppers, eggplant, and corn...as for the corn i dont know if it will make it, it was doing great until we had a storm, it pretty much was laid out, so i went out and fixed 40 stalks of corn...then the next day...sunday...it happened again......haveing back problems and other problems with my arms and hands...this is not a good thing...so the corn might be on its own..i will not grow it again.....i learned that corn is grown in large fields for a reason...it helps protect one another...my sister grows hers in circles...and i guess it works for her...but i am a retired corn grower as of today...i will post some pictures of the growing crops in a few days. as for my family , they seem to be doing well, they just returned from a camping trip, where a hail storm was one of the events...they both were sporting new tents and they seemed to have survived, i am working on a few smaller projects, and until fall comes my wood working will be limited to either very early mornings or middle of the night..way to hot in the shop for day activities. So as for blogging...i am caught up and will do better to stay up to date...love and blessings to all. grizzman

Holiday greetings

To start this off right i will say have a great Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas. The time of year where it is proper etiquette to over eat has come upon us and as is family tradition for our family, i will comply. In fact i feel so confidante in my abilities, i will offer my training services this year to any who might not think they are quite up to speed on this. I will gladly come to your home and give a fully graphic demonstration of this fine art. I have trained many years and feel if there is one thing i can do without fixing a mistake or use wood putty, this is it. To any who might want this service this year, i will send a form with all the required dishes, the amount needed and a set time. I have a whole family available to assist me if needed or if your desired time is already taken, and we guarantee our work. However as far as December 25th is concerned, i have a new grandson who will require my expertise, his father who is fully capable to do most of it..but as this is Rykers first Christmas meal, i will be needed to confirm that all Putman eating techniques are passed down, and since green bean casserole is a family tradition, Ryker will be amused to see that his father and grandfather can look like the green beans went other places besides our mouths...we wouldn't want Ryker to feel out of place. So may the Holidays be filled with love and a time where families grow closer together, presents are nice, but just being together is better...weather it be over a phone or maybe a Internet web cam...love has no boundaries.....May the lord bless you all my dear family and friends...and know that you are all dear to me and i appreciate the times we have shared this past year..love to all..the grizzman

november is here

hello everyone, the grizzman has not disappeared, i had some better times for a couple of weeks, and was able to work on table i was making for my cousin, the project is done and when the time is right, i shall post the finished picture, i have sent it to some close family and friends, but will not publish it until my cousin has received it and seen it for herself, i will say the project turned out just grand,and my total joy will come when i can give it to her, she is at present dealing with the loss of one of her sons, any prayers on her behalf would be appreciated, her name is Cheryl evrard , as for me, right now I'm in a down mode, my health has stopped me in my physical tracks, however my spirit is up and I'm grateful to my father in heaven and his son the Christ for all that is allowed, for me, Ive learned that trails in life can be the greatest teacher...and are times of growth.....even though i don't like the pain or the in ability to work...it must be something i need, for i trust in god for my all, my faith sustains me, I'm so grateful for my family and dear friends, you know who are.i love you all and your love and kindness mean everything to me,i pray that the blessings of heaven are upon you and your families, its been some time since Ive been able to attend my church services, and once a month we are given opportunity to share our testimonies, and i need to let those most important to me know what makes me tick..more then anything else i love my father in heaven and his son the Christ, i love my family, they mean everything to me...at a young age i was blessed to know who i am and who we all are...we are not creatures born of a cosmic bang...or some creature that crawled from the sea....we are all sons and daughters of god...given this earth to gain things we needed for an eternal journey,and our families are the most important unit here and forever...of coarse this is my faith...my knowledge, and some do not feel as i do.....that is the agency god has given to us all...so we go forward and love and serve one another..and in a coming day...all will confess that Jesus is the Christ....we will stand before god and give an accounting of this agency..this is what and who i am...I'm striving to be the best i can be and judge none...and i hope and pray for the choicest blessings for us all...i seal my testimony in the name of Christ..amen.

hello everyone, so this new issue of how the world turns.......it seems like the winds of economic disaster are blowing and wars continue all over the planet, we so far are surviving..here in my small corner of the world I've been getting a little bit of work done in the shop. two projects that have been on the to do list have gotten done...a bird feeder and a lamp, I'm working on an ongoing project at the moment....a certain cousin in Georgia is getting a table made and when its done, the pictures will be posted...i hope all is well with everyone...bob
