December 6, 2013 Friday

Abs and Arms, but many disruptions, only got through half and feel like I will do the same again tomorrow.  She uses weights and a chair to work out the arms and back, triceps for those flabby underarms.  She says don't wave goodbye with those, tighten them up.  Then down to the floor for abs, crunches, sit ups and obliques.  Just getting up and down, chair to floor is a workout.

Psalm 103 - This is my favorite, I want it read at my funeral, it says it all for me.  God provides all we need, protects us, loves us and forgives us all our sins.

2001 - On this day, at this time of year, always the same, shopping, decorating and writing Christmas cards.  I used to send out over 100 cards, I have since narrowed it down to much less.  The cost of mailing is the key issue here, but when you think of it, even .46 cents is cheap to let someone know you are thinking of them.  Maybe I will pick up some extra cards.

Parenting - My friends have had much to do with the raising of their grandchildren.  The parents have had a difficult time getting started and keeping it going, so grandma and grandpa have had a full house, on and off.  Taking in the family is one thing, but you know they always have pets, and it is never a goldfish.  God bless grandma's and grandpa's.

Unalaska -  Here is some more interesting data about our location.
Unalaska (Aleut: Iluulux̂[3]) is a city in the Aleutians West Census Area of the Unorganized Borough of the U.S. state of Alaska. Unalaska is located on Unalaska Island and neighboring Amaknak Island in the Aleutian Islands off mainland Alaska.
The population was 4,376 at the 2010 census, which is 79% of the entire Aleutians West Census Area. Almost all of the community's port facilities are on Amaknak Island, better known as Dutch Harbor or just "Dutch". It is the largest fisheries port in the U.S. by volume caught. It includes Dutch Harbor Naval Operating Base and Fort Mears, U.S. Army, a U.S. National Historic Landmark.
Dutch Harbor lies within the city limits of Unalaska and is connected to Unalaska by a bridge. Amaknak Island is home to almost 59 percent of the city's population, although it has less than 3 percent of its land area.
The Aleut or Unangan have lived on Unalaska Island for thousands of years.[4] The Russian fur trade reached Unalaska when Stepan Glotov and his crew arrived on August 1, 1759. The Unangan people, who were the first to inhabit the island of Unalaska, named it "Ounalashka" meaning ‘Near the Peninsula’. The regional native corporation has adopted this moniker, and is known as the Ounalashka Corporation.[5]

Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!  Happy Birthday Grandma Alexandra!
