Tuesday January 7, 2014 Deep freeze

After I took the garbage out at 7am and thought I froze my eyeballs (-13 degrees) I had to warm up with "Kicken with Country" with Denise Austin.  I was warm when I got done! Achy Breaky heart.

Matthew chapter 6 - a continuation of yesterdays reading, which today includes the Lord's Prayer.  I personally don't know anyone that can't recite the Lord's prayer.  They say that even patients with Alhzeimer's remember it.  Good thing to get stuck in your head. 

1973 -- On this day, Mom and her husband Bob, both 52 went somewhere to pick up a 2nd snowmobile. Everyone we knew had snowmobiles and Bob decided Mom should have her own.  They spent a lot of time in Gaylord and rode all over.  Problem was they didn't get home till after midnight and my 2 brothers, Andy and Mark and I were very worried about where they were.  It is all relative isn't it?  Those were the days before cell phones and they didn't call to let us know not to worry.  Well Bob had been a bachelor all of his life, so that's understandable, but Mom caught it when she got home.  Mom will be 92 this week, so snowmobiling must be good for you.

Parenting - My daughter is better then I am at checking in.  It only takes a text now to let someone know "here".   It is a considerate thing to do, teach your kids, they all have phones now starting at what? 3 or 4?  Just kidding.  right?

Vancouver - The original settlement, named Gastown, grew around the Hastings Mill logging sawmill and a nearby tavern, both established in 1867. Enlarging to become the townsite of Granville, with the announcement that the railhead would reach the site it was renamed "Vancouver" and incorporated as a city in 1886. By 1887, the transcontinental railway was extended to the city to take advantage of its large natural seaport, which soon became a vital link in a trade route between the Orient, Eastern Canada, and London.[6][7] As of 2009, Port Metro Vancouver is the busiest and largest port in Canada, and the most diversified port in North America.[8] While forestry remains its largest industry, Vancouver is well known as an urban centre surrounded by nature, making tourism its second-largest industry.[9] Major film production studios in Vancouver and Burnaby have turned Metro Vancouver into one of the largest film production centres in North America,[10][11] earning it the film industry nickname, Hollywood North.

Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!
