Just when I was gonna ask when will Gizmo get a t-shirt, you're on it! That dog is too cute! I like the t-shirts and the nice pastel colors. We love seeing you guys & Gizmo too. Thanks for all the news, info, mailbag questions, etc. The Villages seems like a nice place to live.
When Hurricane Wilma hit in October 2005 the weather was pleasant enough to where having no AC was tolerable. Not having electricity for my coffee maker was the worst.
To your viewer in their 40’s what to do today to prepare for their future, I suggest they tune into a podcast called “Retirement Starts Today”. Awesome advice!
Morning! Was paying $250 a month for Direc TV - cxid and went to UA-cam TV - SO MUCH BETTER, No boxes, can watch on all TV;s, iPads, unlimited DVR Storage! $65 a month!
Another enjoyable Mailbag Monday! Love Gizmo’s tee shirt. Please thank Gizmo for answering our question this morning. He’s one smart pup! Hope you have a wonderful week. Marilyn & Perry
Cable T options: Pluto TV (free), Firestick with Amazon Prime (have to buy the firestick and Prime has annual fee), a Ruko stick (stick costs about $35-55). All have lots of free TV shows, movies, DYI, lots of classic TV shows and movies.
We have lived in The Villages for over 15 years, in FL over 20 years, and have not experienced a power outage longer than a couple of hours. ( I do recall one time in JAX when my husband called me ‘back up North’ to complain about a ‘brown out’. I was unsympathetic as we were experiencing a blizzard and were without ANY POWER for several days….) living in The Villages puts us in a bubble for sure! Underground power and utilities, as well as new technologies keep us relatively ‘safe’.
I cut the cord a few years ago and don’t miss it at all. We have UA-camtv and enjoy it. I have transitioned to UA-cam almost exclusively and stay as busy as I want to be and have discovered channel like yours.
I cut the cord last October. I have Roku on all my tv's. I don't miss my satellite tv, especially the multiple commercials. the drug commercials sent me over the edge and made me pull the plug. no regrets
Jerry and Linda, I still enjoy your videos even though I moved to a retirement community recently (not the villages). I’ve said before, your advice on many topics is relevant to anyone planning to retire. You guys have way too much fun!
Thanks Jerry and Linda Great episode! We cut the cord 10 years ago. Have Uverse for Internet and stream everything on our Roku sticks. We use our cell hot spot if the Uverse goes down which is seldom. Happy Tails and thanks for keeping it real.
Linda, you have such a beautiful smile. Gizmo was very funny today. When are we going to see those cooking videos Linda? I love your tee shirts, so colorful and tropical.
Love your videos. You both are a delight and very informative. My husband is retiring in 3 weeks he is 55 and I am 53. Next year we are going to discuss moving to a warmer climate. We have internet access and a roku. The only thing we pay for is spectrum internet. You can pay for the app channels you want.
I don’t laugh at “regular” TV as much as I do watching you guys! We cut the cable and land-line cord a couple months ago. All we pay for is internet now ($60/mo) but I expect that’ll be going up in price once everyone else drops their cable subscriptions. Love the pink shirts! ⛳️🌞🌴🇱🇷
Was just there at Brownwood yesterday enjoying the band, tents, and people! What community- it’s great. I browsed around the neighborhoods and really like the birdcages the best. Great way to retire I think. Ok heading back to Denver to dust off my snow shovel- snow is a few months away…
Sbhanse, we just sold our home in Denver and relocated to The Villages. So happy to get rid of snow shovels.....but....watching Elsa move across the state is not so fun. Didn't expect this weather as soon as we relocated. 🤦♀️
At 19:00 Jerry mentions that Fried Chicken is his favorite comfort food. At the very second Jerry say, "Fried Chicken", Gizmo pops his head up and starts licking his chops. It might be his favorite also.
The biggest finance problem for some people were over spent in younger days, and helping children education. o their comfort foods were not as bad as I was expected; at least nothing over fattening like sweets. KFC used t be my favorite before the dead of Colonel, now most super markets made decent fried chicken except Walmart.
Yes! Cut that cord!!! I did it four yours ago and it is a great savings. My TV viewing is via Roku through the internet and a local PBS station also via Roku. Many options are available -- start your research, you will be astonished at what is available for free.
There was an enrichment class in the villages in Jan 2021 while I was visiting to discuss this very subject. How to disconnect from the cable TV and the many free options. I’m going to look it as I bet it is still being presented
We did the same 2 years ago, a lot of free viewing on Roku and then we added Fubotv for $55 a month, it has been great, sports, local channels, news cable, and old-time classics, couldn't be happier and saved nearly $100 a month.
Have you tried Pluto TV, the Roku Channel and the UA-cam channel. They're all on Roku and free. You can also try Hulu for around $6.00 a month with commercials OR around $11.00 per month WITHOUT commercials. I chose the latter. Well worth it.
I picked up around 60 channels with HTDV antenna in the attic but it is QVC, old movies and stuff like that! Between down there, and here in NC for just Internet and 2 cell phones, we pay 400 a month! Remember when all you had was 20 dollar phone a month hanging on the wall and rabbit ears on your TV! We mainly just watch You tube!
Hello Jerry & Linda, my wife Linda and I are big fans. We live in California. You know the no rain state ☹️. Hope you guys are well prepared for the storm. Plenty of water, food, skittles, etc. It would be nice if you could get a few vids of the wind and rain 🌧 to show on your channel. That would be great to see by us who have forgotten what rain looks and feels like. Take Care, praying for you both and certainly Gizmo! Nick and Linda
Another great video. I just love Gizmo. He sits there like such a good boy, and he really behaves himself. I have a doxie, too. Her name is Bella. She would never behave herself so well. She’d only be that still if she were sleeping. 😂
Hi Jerry and Linda, Alan Johnson here. I'm the gentleman from Louisville who spoke to you on the phone a month or so ago and your farm was located near my family. Two things: First the funny. Jerry, you and I are near the same age and like you I also met the Colonel back in the day and yes he was extremely friendly, welcoming, and pleasant. His chicken "ain't" bad either! On the TV and cable issue. Cut it today! We cut our cable approximately four years ago after some of my techy friends clued me in to what was available. Between the over the air stations, ROKU, and UA-cam channels such as yours there is 100 times more content available than you could ever watch. And as a special bonus you get to be extremely selective and watch content that is upbeat, informative, entertaining, and educational, all under your own control and your own choice. We have absolutely "ZERO" cable and/ or TV expense! Again today's episode was excellent. My compliments to all three of you and my thanks for making this fun and informative content available.
I said bye to Spectrum TV too. Now I use Sling and Paramount+. Locast, which gives you the local channels, comes thru Sling. My brother uses Hulu. Depends on what you like to watch.
I have UA-cam TV and love it. You can set to record any shows and it’s digitally saved so you never run out of space. You can have it on all TVs and phone, computers and tablets. I do have Comcast internet
Me too - I switched to UA-cam TV many years ago. Yes, the price is going up but $65 is nothing compared to $200 a month. There is a little bit getting used to UA-cam TV but when you master it then it is superior anything cable TV can offer. We just came back from 7 days lifestyle visit and the house had cable and I just couldn't stand it. I ended up watching UA-cam TV on my iPad. Give it a chance you won't regret it
I pay 40 a month for internet, 70 a year for Disney+, prime video with my Amazon prime, free version of peacock tv, UA-cam, Pluto tv . Watch local news off of antenna
Hey there. To reduce your Spectrum bill, cancel your cable (not your internet) for 30 days, returning the box if you have one. Then on the 31st day, you are eligible for new customer pricing. During that 30 days, we sign up for Sling TV for the 30days, so that we continue to have most of the same channels. Often there are specials on streaming channels, so the 30 day package is usually very reasonable.
I enjoyed your show today....I did not skip through and watched the W H O L E thing. I do not expect we will ever move to The Villages as that would put 800 miles between us and the grand and great grandkids. Thanks for your efforts for the entertainment and life info. mike
We just came back from a 7 days lifestyle visit. We are in our early to mid 50s and let me tell you - we loved it. We booked a villa for December - can't wait to get back. Here are some of the things we loved: - Everything is gorgeous. We live in a beautiful master plan community in the Houston area. The villages are much prettier - The weather in early July much more pleasant than in Houston. It felt much less humid than in Houston. - We love all the squares - very nice to just stroll around with the dog. - Exploring the communities in the golf cart was a lot of fun. - Publix is great - kind of like HEB in Texas - We attended the 4th of July performance which was very nice. PS - as I replied on a another thread -switch to UA-cam TV - you will save money and you will get a much better TV experience. The way it records and let you pause live TV is very intuitive and works great if you have more than one TV or tablet/phone.
And they’re goes another mailbag Monday!❤️❤️ Glad you brought up Spectrum! We went down to basic cable because our bill went up $20.00. So after the first month we get another bill for the same amount.They went up $20.00 on our equipment so there went that savings! We are looking for alternative as well. We are tired of being held hostage!
We lived in Houston for 7 years through several hurricanes. The worst was hurricane Alicia. We were without water for 5 days and power for 10. We moved to Arizona the next year. I don’t recommend trying to ride out a hurricane or live through 100 degree days and 100 percent humidity that can be the aftermath.
Just got back from my lifestyle visit of 4 days over independence day weekend. They put me up in a Bonifay near the water lily bridge. Drove the cart everywhere. Got lost once. Haha. My Labrador wasn't able to be boarded the day before I came down, so I called and they let me bring her; just had to pay an additional cleaning fee. I booked my trip in late March for July 4. FYI the homes do go fast. My realtor sent me one with a link on Thursday at 4, and when I got a chance to view at 415 it was pending already. Hope you stayed safe during Elsa, the new pink color looks great.
Buy a roku about 29 bucks , learn how to use it, you can get local broadcasting and hundreds of other channels , once you have the hang of it you'll see u can cut the cord. Housing here is going quick. Houses are selling in a day. Pool homes are going 20 to 50k over asking some times. And KFC is my fav , wife won't let me eat it. We rented a golf cart and it was insured by the company.the people in northern section call the southern area MEXICO ...I enjoy seeing the kids in the pool but a lot of people hate it.
We've lived in the south for 30 years. In all that time, the longest power outage we faced was four days during Irma. The solution to the temporary AC issue is to purchase a small inverter generator and a 5000 BTU window AC. Then you can have AC to sleep at night. I keep a gas can full of fuel from July to October. If I don't use it by October, I pour it into my car until next year.
Hi Jerry, Linda and Sweet Gizmo🐾 ! We cut the Cord and canceled Xfinity about 5 years ago..Best Decision Ever! First we had UA-cam TV, price went up from $49 to $65. We canceled it about a year later (after we moved into our Trilogy 55+ Community) we now have Discovery+ No Commercials for $6.99 per month. So between that and our Free Samsung TV built in Free stations on our Samsung, our Regular UA-cam, and we do use a Chromcast for other internet streaming. Plenty of viewing options available! We Love your Channel💕😊
PER GOLF CART INSURANCE-We did not take insurance. We do not know for sure but since they are supplied by TV, we assumed(not suggested😁) that there is some sort of basic coverage. Some auto policies do include but ours does not. Not sure if this helps or not but have fun on your visit..
We CUT THE CORD 2 YRS AGO! But Roku! Its Amazing. You get so many tv and movie channels, and we pay $5.99/month. We absolutely Love it! We paid $50.00 for Roku at Walmart! You will not miss cable! You can buy what isnt free, but they offer so much - we havent done it yet. And we watch all UA-cam (Especially our fav"The Village Newcomers, starring our fav pooch "Gizmo), on our big screen. Its awesome!!! And Gizmo, my goodness, You are Hilarious😂😂😂😂 and we Adore All of You❤👍
Jerry, you like KFC, have you tried the fried chicken at McCall’s Tavern at Spanish Springs Town Square? It is the best fried chicken anywhere!!! There is about a 20 minute wait because it is cooked to order, but it is worth the wait!!! The freshest, not greasy, best tasting you can get!!! Give it a try and you won’t go to KFC again.
I am praying for your health, home and vehicles as Elsa comes near your area. Also pray that Gizmo is courageous during the storm. We had a dear doxie named Moxie and she didn't like storm at all. Linda and Jerry you bless me especially and all of us all around the world, just think of that in your not so frequent quiet times together .I figure you guys are on the go almost nonstop. I cannot thank you enough! Marie Gadevsky
Just an update on July 4th. We live in Fenney. Our neighborhood had tons of fireworks all night on the 4th. It was very loud with lots of big booms. It stopped exactly at 10pm.
Great video!! You answered one of my questions 👍🏼 and KFC was my first job as a teenager…nothing like some good KFC! It was back in the 90’s when we made our own cornbread… Miss the cornbread!! Blessings!!❤️
LOVE THE PINK T SHIRTS ! You both are jewels who sparkle in the dullest day !!!❤️ and I love GIZMO’S Shirt 🐶Shadow
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How about a higher chair or extra cushion for Gizmo so we can see him better during your video?💖😊
Just when I was gonna ask when will Gizmo get a t-shirt, you're on it! That dog is too cute! I like the t-shirts and the nice pastel colors. We love seeing you guys & Gizmo too. Thanks for all the news, info, mailbag questions, etc. The Villages seems like a nice place to live.
That little dawg always cracks me up! Even when he is doing nothing!!
When Hurricane Wilma hit in October 2005 the weather was pleasant enough to where having no AC was tolerable. Not having electricity for my coffee maker was the worst.
As to how long kids can stay……. We were told “You don’t have to count….your neighbors will!”
Love the pink Tshirts
I love mailbag Monday. Thank you for all the time you put into this program.
To your viewer in their 40’s what to do today to prepare for their future, I suggest they tune into a podcast called “Retirement Starts Today”. Awesome advice!
...and ANOTHER great one from Jerry and Linda. Thank you for your time and effort. Have fun.
Another interesting Mailbag Monday. Thank you!
Morning! Was paying $250 a month for Direc TV - cxid and went to UA-cam TV - SO MUCH BETTER, No boxes, can watch on all TV;s, iPads, unlimited DVR Storage! $65 a month!
Another enjoyable Mailbag Monday! Love Gizmo’s tee shirt. Please thank Gizmo for answering our question this morning. He’s one smart pup! Hope you have a wonderful week. Marilyn & Perry
Gizmo got top billing on those shirts! How oool!
You look so cute with your hair up Linda!
Love the new pink shirts! And Gizmo is adorable!
Cable T options: Pluto TV (free), Firestick with Amazon Prime (have to buy the firestick and Prime has annual fee), a Ruko stick (stick costs about $35-55). All have lots of free TV shows, movies, DYI, lots of classic TV shows and movies.
Yall best content on Monday.. Fun.. Entertaining n more.. like the T-shirts.. Thank You
Keep up the good work, Jerry and Linda! It's always fun to watch your videos, and the information you provide is very helpful.
Thanks for always sharing !
Thanks guys, nice to see you are working on the holiday!
We should have a get together in one of the town squares for the “groupies” following the villages newcomers wearing our tee shirts!
Great idea!! 😁😁
That sounds like a fun idea! I’d plan a visit to my sister for that!
Yes, please!
A follow up to not having cable, my wife also mentioned, if you have a SMART TV, you can stream as well. Good luck on your decision.
Gizmo has the BEST shirt. He's so cute and chill. Thanks for another marvelous MBM!
He is chill…you got that right!😁😁
We have lived in The Villages for over 15 years, in FL over 20 years, and have not experienced a power outage longer than a couple of hours.

Love mail bag Mondays,,,thanks as always from Barefoot Bay !!!!!!!!!
Hi, Linda and Jerry. I surely do love your videos. Thank you for taking the time to share.
Thank you Susie, we appreciate it!😁😁
Thanks for answering my cable question! Ken you guys are the best.
I cut the cord a few years ago and don’t miss it at all. We have UA-camtv and enjoy it. I have transitioned to UA-cam almost exclusively and stay as busy as I want to be and have discovered channel like yours.

Thanks Jerry and Linda
Great episode!
We cut the cord 10 years ago. Have Uverse for Internet and stream everything on our Roku sticks. We use our cell hot spot if the Uverse goes down which is seldom.
Happy Tails and thanks for keeping it real.
Linda, you have such a beautiful smile. Gizmo was very funny today. When are we going to see those cooking videos Linda? I love your tee shirts, so colorful and tropical.
Thanks, Cherrie! We are so busy! I'll try. 😁
Love your videos. You both are a delight and very informative. My husband is retiring in 3 weeks he is 55 and I am 53. Next year we are going to discuss moving to a warmer climate. We have internet access and a roku. The only thing we pay for is spectrum internet. You can pay for the app channels you want.
Good to see you both! I hope you had a nice 4th Of July!!
My Mother always said ‘Horses sweat, Men perspire but Women glisten’
Dewy...
Mine too!
Your mother never played Pickleball
Fried chicken and BBQ...my wife and I are definitely kindred spirits. Look forward to your mailbag monday video each week. Great show guys!!😎👍
That was great! Love you guys!
I don’t laugh at “regular” TV as much as I do watching you guys! We cut the cable and land-line cord a couple months ago. All we pay for is internet now ($60/mo) but I expect that’ll be going up in price once everyone else drops their cable subscriptions. Love the pink shirts! ⛳️🌞🌴🇱🇷
comcast has a lower rate for seniors
Vacuum cleaning is the most Zen of the household chores because when you're finished you empty the vacuum cleaner, thus become the vacuum cleaner....
Was just there at Brownwood yesterday enjoying the band, tents, and people! What community- it’s great. I browsed around the neighborhoods and really like the birdcages the best. Great way to retire I think. Ok heading back to Denver to dust off my snow shovel- snow is a few months away…
Sbhanse, we just sold our home in Denver and relocated to The Villages. So happy to get rid of snow shovels.....but....watching Elsa move across the state is not so fun. Didn't expect this weather as soon as we relocated. 🤦♀️
At 19:00 Jerry mentions that Fried Chicken is his favorite comfort food. At the very second Jerry say, "Fried Chicken", Gizmo pops his head up and starts licking his chops. It might be his favorite also.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for ANOTHER great video full of info!!
Thank you for sharing another great show!!!
75 days and counting until my next Villages vacation!
I came back july 1 to see how the weather is. I’m renting different homes each month
The biggest finance problem for some people were over spent in younger days, and helping children education. o their comfort foods were not as bad as I was expected; at least nothing over fattening like sweets. KFC used t be my favorite before the dead of Colonel, now most super markets made decent fried chicken except Walmart.
Love Gizmo in his shirt!
Yes! Cut that cord!!! I did it four yours ago and it is a great savings. My TV viewing is via Roku through the internet and a local PBS station also via Roku. Many options are available -- start your research, you will be astonished at what is available for free.
There was an enrichment class in the villages in Jan 2021 while I was visiting to discuss this very subject. How to disconnect from the cable TV and the many free options. I’m going to look it as I bet it is still being presented
We did the same 2 years ago, a lot of free viewing on Roku and then we added Fubotv for $55 a month, it has been great, sports, local channels, news cable, and old-time classics, couldn't be happier and saved nearly $100 a month.

@@MsLorie-ef6fo Yes!! There is so much on Roku!!!
Yea Linda! I always eat at Oakwood when I get to TV!!!
Keep that cable. It’s reliable, easy to use and if you enjoy it in retirement keep it.
I look forward to every Monday. My dream (and it’s only a dream) is to live in the villages. Thanks again for such a great video.
Thanks again!
I picked up around 60 channels with HTDV antenna in the attic but it is QVC, old movies and stuff like that! Between down there, and here in NC for just Internet and 2 cell phones, we pay 400 a month! Remember when all you had was 20 dollar phone a month hanging on the wall and rabbit ears on your TV!
We mainly just watch You tube!
I have Chubb with an umbrella policy, I am covered for golf cart accidents on private and public courses, resorts, generally.
thanks you two.
I like the new pink t-shirts!
Hello Jerry & Linda, my wife Linda and I are big fans. We live in California. You know the no rain state ☹️. Hope you guys are well prepared for the storm. Plenty of water, food, skittles, etc. It would be nice if you could get a few vids of the wind and rain 🌧 to show on your channel.

Another great video. I just love Gizmo. He sits there like such a good boy, and he really behaves himself. I have a doxie, too. Her name is Bella. She would never behave herself so well. She’d only be that still if she were sleeping. 😂
Gizmos little newcomers shirt is just adorable, so is he
Oh my gosh your rocking that tee shirt
I cut the landline phone , cable TV now have (Hulu + Live local ) and have a great rate with consumer cellular for two lines. Significant savings !
Love the pink shirts! Pink looks good on both of you! Also, KFC rocks! Love it!

Happy Independence Day
We just came back from a 7 days lifestyle visit. We are in our early to mid 50s and let me tell you - we loved it. We booked a villa for December - can't wait to get back.
Here are some of the things we loved:
- Everything is gorgeous. We live in a beautiful master plan community in the Houston area. The villages are much prettier
- The weather in early July much more pleasant than in Houston. It felt much less humid than in Houston.
- We love all the squares - very nice to just stroll around with the dog.
- Exploring the communities in the golf cart was a lot of fun.
- Publix is great - kind of like HEB in Texas

What an excellent run down on your visit. So glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
And they’re goes another mailbag Monday!❤️❤️ Glad you brought up Spectrum! We went down to basic cable because our bill went up $20.00. So after the first month we get another bill for the same amount.They went up $20.00 on our equipment so there went that savings! We are looking for alternative as well. We are tired of being held hostage!
You three are such fun! Thanks!
Great gizmoT shirts
We just booked our Lifestyle visit for the end of October!! Can't wait! We're ready to come now 🌴
We will be there in oct too! 19- 24!
Bullfrog sunscreen is the best!
We lived in Houston for 7 years through several hurricanes. The worst was hurricane Alicia. We were without water for 5 days and power for 10. We moved to Arizona the next year. I don’t recommend trying to ride out a hurricane or live through 100 degree days and 100 percent humidity that can be the aftermath.
Just realized you have 35k subscribers. Congrats. Love the Gizmo shirt!
I would put those Gizmo ice cubes in my martini. From Pinellas County
You guys are great. What helpful advice for people.
Your new shirts are so cute! That was a great video.
Just got back from my lifestyle visit of 4 days over independence day weekend. They put me up in a Bonifay near the water lily bridge. Drove the cart everywhere. Got lost once. Haha. My Labrador wasn't able to be boarded the day before I came down, so I called and they let me bring her; just had to pay an additional cleaning fee. I booked my trip in late March for July 4.

Hope you stayed safe during Elsa, the new pink color looks great.
Thanks TJ, glad you had a great time!
Buy a roku about 29 bucks , learn how to use it, you can get local broadcasting and hundreds of other channels , once you have the hang of it you'll see u can cut the cord. Housing here is going quick. Houses are selling in a day. Pool homes are going 20 to 50k over asking some times. And KFC is my fav , wife won't let me eat it. We rented a golf cart and it was insured by the company.the people in northern section call the southern area MEXICO ...I enjoy seeing the kids in the pool but a lot of people hate it.
We've lived in the south for 30 years. In all that time, the longest power outage we faced was four days during Irma. The solution to the temporary AC issue is to purchase a small inverter generator and a 5000 BTU window AC. Then you can have AC to sleep at night. I keep a gas can full of fuel from July to October. If I don't use it by October, I pour it into my car until next year.
Great advice!

So between that and our Free Samsung TV built in Free stations on our Samsung, our Regular UA-cam, and we do use a Chromcast for other internet streaming. Plenty of viewing options available! We Love your Channel💕😊
Love Gizmo's new shirt!
PER GOLF CART INSURANCE-We did not take insurance. We do not know for sure but since they are supplied by TV, we assumed(not suggested😁) that there is some sort of basic coverage. Some auto policies do include but ours does not. Not sure if this helps or not but have fun on your visit..
We CUT THE CORD 2 YRS AGO! But Roku! Its Amazing. You get so many tv and movie channels, and we pay $5.99/month. We absolutely Love it! We paid $50.00 for Roku at Walmart! You will not miss cable! You can buy what isnt free, but they offer so much - we havent done it yet. And we watch all UA-cam (Especially our fav"The Village Newcomers, starring our fav pooch "Gizmo), on our big screen. Its awesome!!! And Gizmo, my goodness, You are Hilarious😂😂😂😂 and we Adore All of You❤👍
Awww.... we appreciate ya, BG! 😁😁
Jerry, you like KFC, have you tried the fried chicken at McCall’s Tavern at Spanish Springs Town Square? It is the best fried chicken anywhere!!! There is about a 20 minute wait because it is cooked to order, but it is worth the wait!!! The freshest, not greasy, best tasting you can get!!! Give it a try and you won’t go to KFC again.
We have heard that! Gonna give it a try.
🥰🥰🥰😆😆😆Gizmo! Thanks for the video 😻😘.
Good luck with storm headed your way!
I am praying for your health, home and vehicles as Elsa comes near your area. Also pray that Gizmo is courageous during the storm. We had a dear doxie named Moxie and she didn't like storm at all. Linda and Jerry you bless me especially and all of us all around the world, just think of that in your not so frequent quiet times together .I figure you guys are on the go almost nonstop. I cannot thank you enough! Marie Gadevsky
Just an update on July 4th. We live in Fenney. Our neighborhood had tons of fireworks all night on the 4th. It was very loud with lots of big booms. It stopped exactly at 10pm.
Great info. Thanks for all you two do. Where was Gizmo?
Great video!! You answered one of my questions 👍🏼 and KFC was my first job as a teenager…nothing like some good KFC! It was back in the 90’s when we made our own cornbread… Miss the cornbread!! Blessings!!❤️
I love McCalls Tavern in Spanish Springs for Chicken.
Love you guys.
