What is one habit, negative pattern, or sin that has been passed down your family line from generation to generation that you do not want to pass down to your own family line? What steps are you taking to make sure the habit, pattern or sin is not repeated in your own family?

I know it will sound weird to say I cannot think of a single habit, negative pattern or sin passed down from generation to generation. My dad almost raised himself, his mom died shortly after giving birth to her tenth child. His dad remarried and enlisted him in the army at the age of sixteen. He turned from the life he knew and found God. He has always been a generous, good person. I think we all have habits, negative patterns and things that need to be worked out but they are all different. I sure hope I pass on good things to my kids, not negative things!

The wildest experience I have ever had while on vacation was going to Epcot in pouring down rain while in Orlando. There are so many things to do in Orlando! I think we were crazy for going to Epcot knowing it was raining all afternoon, we just didn’t want to waste a single minute of our time in Orlando. It was pouring down rain, picture the rain coming sideways… and we were all drenched. About the time we found a kiosk to buy a ton of really expensive parkas… you guessed it, the rain stopped! And it didn’t rain again until the next afternoon. I figured the pattern out finally. It was really beautiful in Orlando and I loved the tropical plants. I quickly realized it was a perfect environment to grow those beautiful plants and trees. It really ruined our Epcot experience, but I’m still glad we went even with the rain. There were some cool things there and the Nemo ride was pretty much awesome! If you are looking for Trusted Tours and Attractions, you should sign up for this newsletter.

In 1914, Al Asher and brother Louis established a family business that bought and sold horses and wagons to members of the local community. Through the years, as new industries emerged and advanced technologies developed, the company that started with horses and wagons continually evolved into a respected and well-known name for supplying trucks and equipment to the power, telephone, and CATV Industries.

- Telsta construction and splicing bucket trucks: A-28, SU-34, SU-36, and T-40’s
