Hey everyone. Hope that all had a great Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. It was nice to see everyone on Thursday. I also hope that all are well, up and about on this rainny Monday morning. I love a rainny day from time to time but I will be annoyed if the power goes off. All have a good week and know that I love you one and all. Thanks for visiting actnuts Kathy
Kurt, I can't tell you how much I love Actnuts. I think it is one of the greatest accomplishments you have done. The pictures and your captions are a history of the family. The kids are too young to appreciate the wealth of information that Actnuts contains but some day when they are older, they will see the wonderful record of our lives. Train someone to do the heavy lifting when you are no longer able. I love you so much, Your dad
Pat Morita was 73 years old. Mama and I are survivors. But there is no cause to brag.
Another icon dies. Goodbye Pat Morita. You were the best. One by one, the great guys pass on. Who will replace him? No one. For the greats can never be replaced.
Hello Bowman Family, I wish you a very very Happy Thanksgivng and a wonderful start to the entire holiday seson. KI do hope you all enjoy each other. How lucky you are to live so close to each other. Fanily is so important. Bea and Joe the family is just beautiful Happy Thanksgiving. Lots of Love to all of you,
Dear Kurt, Thanks for all your help this morning and we also enjoyed having lunch with you. Thank you. Can you make me prints from your birthay party. I really could use them to make up a birthday page for my books. Love you and let me know about the prints.
Thanks Hosford's! What a great time!
Hope you have a great week off and find lots to enjoy. Remember that you promised me some time. Or maybe I will phone Christy and have my things added to her honey do list. Love you guys.
10 hours to vacation! This is the first time I can remember taking vacation and not leaving town. If you type in "vacation" in the actnuts search engine you will see that we usually go mobile. This time however, we will stay in town and vegatate. Of course I plan on eating out every night and every morning. And if you think I will sit still for a moment you are dead wrong. I am a man of constant movement. I am a man of action. I am the webmaster of actnuts. I am heading towards 50 years old fast. Gotta go...
Thank you Christy for posting Kurt's due list. Next, we are in line..... Help!
Kurt, Actnuts is looking good again. Only two more days until vacation. I am starting your honey due list today, now you will have something to look forward to.
The kids had great progress reports. All A's. What did I do to have such a great family? I must be livin' right! Hope your having fun LJ.
You know that I'll call you before you're vacation but have a great week off...you deserve it!! Hope all is okay this week. Do good!!
It is raining! wonderful... everything is dry and now the rain comes. Is this the beginning of winter? Perhaps. Cold nights and warm during the day. That is my kind of weather. I can smell the turkey already. Cook it well Erik. I can taste Mrs. Paul's cherry and peach pie. Mama is making oyster dressing and that is so good, What a gret bunch of cooks we have. Bring it on! I am looking forward to seeing all of you. Being with the family is better than anything else. Love Dad
Kurt, what precious pictures. Looking at Actnuts is like a trip back in time. How young we all were! Every picture is a beautiful memory. A reminder of the things we did and who we were. You have created a masterpiece.
What a great weekend off we had! Hunter and Amber both had friends spend Saturday night at our house. Sunday Christy and I looked at property in the upcomming subdivision called Centerville. We picked out a lot we both liked on a lake called Amber lake! In the evening Christy took Amber to her swim banquet where Amber was given many awards including Most Valuable Swimmmer! Amazing! What a great day!
What a beautiful autumn day! Mama and I went to the Black Dog Cafe down by Lake Ella. We sat under the live oak trees and listened to music by live bands. It reminded me of our good times in Austria and Germany. Different people, but really the same. Life is great! Love to you all...
The week is over! I'm ready for a day off. Everyone wants to sleep in tomorrow. Not me! I want to wake up and milk the day for everything it's got. I think the latin translation is cow pie diem.
You are awsome!
Mama and I attended the Veterans Day Parade in downtown Tallahassee today. The parade was great and many citizens attended also. Afterwards, we went to lunch at the Indian Restaurant. Good food. It was wonderful to be with my honey on such a beautiful day.
Happy Veterans Day! Freedom isn't free. It is paid for with the blood of heroes. Our hero is Captain Derek Roberson. He is defending our Nation in Iraq so that we may go about our business here in the USA without fear. From the beginning, members of our family have served their country in the Armed Forces. First came Chris Shontz who served his country in the Pennsylvania Volunteers during the Civil War. Next came Warren Shontz who served his country in World War Two. I served my country in the US Army in the Viet Nam War. Claude Shipley served his country during the Cold War.
Great to see everyone on Sunday. As usual the food was good and the company great. Thanks for inviting us. Nice to see Trish, Steve and Mimi. Now the busy season starts and before we know it there will be a new year. Kurtjust make me copies and then I will pick and choose. If you send them in to Wal-Mart and will go and pick them up. Okay. Thank you. I am enjoying the weather and keeping busy.
Nothing's changed. I have started my 41st trip around the sun. I am still just a catipillar.
Looking for the birthday pictures that Christy took
Wow, what a busy weekend! First Amber saw the movie Dreamer and said it was great. Then Hunter went to the FSU game. Amber and I also went to a wedding shower (very fun) and then Amber went to Chiles homecoming. On Sunday everyone came over for Kurts birthday (Yeah!) What an exciting weekend. and somehow Amber squeezed in a haircut and a trip to the mall.
Thanks for the party. It was great having everyone over to visit. Noteable quote: Meme approached me and said that she was almost exactly twice my age. I asked her which was better, her first 40 years or the next. She said..."the first". I was hoping she would have given me some encouragement. Oh well. It was a surprise to have the neighbors set off 10 minutes of fireworks.
AH Kurt, how well I remember the busy years. Being a young person is such an exciting time. Seeing new things, experiencing new events and meeting new people... and they are so busy. I can see the light in their eyes, and...I envy them. Too soon it is gone and the earning years take over and too soon they are gone also and then the twilight years arrive and every day is Friday. Enjoy all of it, for it too is soon gone.
Hey Kathy, it was great to meet in the Guestbook. I am so proud of Kurt for he is the webmaster and he has created a masterpiece that tells the sttory of our Family. I promise to write you next week. Love,Joe
My daughter, the social butterfly, gave to me a hug whispering, "I never see you". Tonight she went to the movies with her swim pals and tomorrow she goes to her third homecoming dance. I told her I would wake her on Sunday morning at 5:30 to go to breakfast. Her priorities are out of whack. I recall balancing time with my own father. Parents are so high maintenance.
Hello Bowmans, I love the website. I don't keep in touch with all of you but I do With Bea and Joe. They always let me know about the family. I do hope that all is well with all of you. Bea and Joe, you know you are always in my thoughts. Lots of Love

OK. 40 isn't that bad. I had a great day. My mom and dad bought me a steak lunch. I had prime rib for dinner with my family. All seems well. I had to do an eye test for my drivers license renewal. By God, I could see! Life is good. Time to put on my depends and go to sleep.
I love the picture of me,kurt,nina and kim.I am the only one not gray!!!!!
Kurt: Happy Birthday--the world is still spinning as much as you are:>) 40 is less strenuous than 80--expect to live to 100 is my bet.
Happy Birthday Kurt! Know that we love you and you are 40! Ha Ha :> Have a great day!
Happy birthday kurt! This is your special day. You will never be as good (Healthy) as you are today. Your star is still rising. Mama and I hope we will see you today. We will take you to lunch. Love and kisses, from your parents.
Wow. When I wake up I will be 40 years old. There were some days that I wondered if I would make it. Now I am making plans for when i will be 80. I am going to take a full day off and contemplate my life and future. Yes mom I would love to have lunch with you. Good night world. Remember to keep on spinning.
My little son Kurt, I wish you a happy birthday. It would be great to see you tomorrow and if you have the time, lets go to lunch. Love you and call us or I will try to contact you. Mama
I am so glad October is over! Time to press on into November. I can only hope that everyone stays healthy and happy. I guess there is not much we can do about our health. We should have thought about that years ago. We can make a decision to be happy. One of my favorite books is "Mans search for meaning" by Viktor E. Frankl. He tells it like it is. We can make a choice to be happy or wake up and go to work in the morning. Help me jesus.
