Our View Out The Front Window January 28, 2018

A couple of hours after I posted last week's View Out the Window, I went down to the lobby of the hotel for a little of breakfast. As I was going back to the room I ran into Jim, the Isaacs' driver. They were parked in the parking lot right below our window.

This was our view out the window.



Here was our view Monday night out the window at the hotel in Runnelstown, Mississippi.

 

I neglected to take a picture of our view out the front window while we were parked this week at Beams of Light near Cantonment, Florida. I thought about it several times but flubbed it. That put me to digging for this picture.

This was our view of Odie at Beams of Light in 2013. She came to church that night with a jean skirt draped over the back of her wheel chair. We never did get the facts in that case. We sure had a great time laughing though. I thought you might enjoy the view.

This is our view out the front window this week near Foley, Alabama.

Here are the links to our posts from the last week. Please take a moment to check them out.

The Isaacs In Haughton, Lousianna 2018

Hey Friends,

This is Odie checking in today. I hope your weekend is off to a good start. You can see in the Weekend Woundup post from Monday, that we had a great weekend last week. My weekend was capped off with an Isaacs concert.

We visited Haughton, Lousiana to see the Isaacs in 2015. We greatly enjoyed our visit to Central Assembly with the Isaacs. We were thrilled when our unexpected schedule change lined up with their stop in Haughton, Lousiana this year.

We arrived at the church Sunday afternoon. It was wonderful to see the Isaacs again. I love getting a chance to visit with them and getting a pre-concert during their soundcheck.

The service was scheduled to begin at 6 PM. Even before go time the church was full of people anticipating a fabulous evening. It definitely was a super fantastic night of singing and music. I laughed, cried and smiled almost the entire time the Isaacs sang and played.

It is always hard to pick a favorite part of the night!  The Isaacs are truly awesome!!  I am always left speechless by their talent! I am so glad we could be with them Sunday night. It was the perfect end to the weekend. 

Now without further rambling, here are my pictures from the concert. I hope you enjoy!

​

Thank you for dropping by today. It is our pleasure and joy to have you visit our Mile Markers. 

Until next time this is Odie signing off.

Changes to Mile Markers Now and In The Near Future

I wrote about some of this last year but I want to go through it again on my way to an announcement of a small change that is coming.

Bro. David Johnston built our original website at davykellyandodie.com many years ago. It served us well for years and gave us a place to post pictures and news from our family and ministry. Some of you have been with us since the beginning of that site. 

One of the features of that website was called Mile Markers. We posted news of what was going on but we posted on a very irregular basis. It was a complicated process for me and we rarely had good internet signal back then.

In November 2009 we began this site on Blogger. We were leaving for our second trip to Nigeria and I was looking for a way to post pictures in real time for folks back home. While searching the internet, I ran across Blogger and within hours, I was set up and ready to go.

The experiment with this site from Nigeria sealed the deal. It was very easy to add pictures and to stay in touch with everyone. We soon moved our Mile Marker updates here and began posting all our pictures here as well.

The original site became a static site with information but rarely any updates since all of the updates are posted here. We started getting hacked there on a regular basis and the hacks kept Bro. Johnston busy. He made some changes and the hacks have been kept at bay.

We knew this day was coming for a long time, but we will soon point that address toward this site. davykellyandodie.com will bring you to the same place as boggsblogs.com. I do not know exactly when the change will be finalized but it is in the works now.

I did not want you to lose access to our schedule and our Google calendar was on the original website. I could never figure out how to post it here. This week, I figured it out and that change is complete.

You can access our schedule from the desktop view of Mile Markers by clicking one of two places. I have circled both in the pictures below. You can click the picture of the BoggsMobile or the word "Schedule" on the tab across the top.

Those links use to eventually lead you to davykellyandodie.com but no they lead you to a page on this site with our Google calendar embedded.

You can scroll down to see the whole month. You can also navigate the months and see it in a weekly, monthly or agenda view. The default view is monthly.

Nearly half of you view our blog from an iPhone or other mobile device. (48% if our numbers are correct.) If you are viewing our blog on a mobile platform it looks similar to the picture below. 

If you click on the tab I have marked with a red circle, a fold down menu will appear and you click on "Schedule".

That will bring up the schedule page. You may have to scroll down and over to see the whole month depending on the screen size on your mobile device.

I am glad to make that change. It puts us one step closer to bringing the two sites together. There is one drawback. Through the years of posting here, I have linked to the schedule in many posts. Once the old address points to this site, those links will probably be dead. I do not see a way to go back through every post and change that link.

This is what I have decided to do. If there is a post that gets a lot of traffic and it has a dead link, I will repair it. Otherwise I, or anyone else, may never see those dead links again.😀

That is all for today. Thanks for dropping by to sit a spell. Have a great weekend!
