Aerobics with Denise on the ocean front. She does the cha cha, the Mambo and some Salsa, so if you are already doing these dances, well your good to go. Sashay on.

Psalm 139 - You are wonderfully created by God in your mothers womb. Life and birth are certainly an amazing gift, how could anyone doubt there is a wonderful creator involved. This psalm reminds us.

On this day 2002

On May 13, 1846, the U.S. Congress overwhelmingly votes in favor of President James K. Polk's request to declare war on Mexico in a dispute over Texas.

Under the threat of war, the United States had refrained from annexing Texas after the latter won independence from Mexico in 1836. But in 1844, President John Tyler restarted negotiations with the Republic of Texas, culminating with a Treaty of Annexation.

Nicole was playing high school soccer and they were always at the top. They had one really great player that made the state team and many other great players. Nicole was goalie. On this day it was a home game with Lake Shore and the game ended in a tie - one to one. The only problem was that Southlake made both goals.

As parents we sit through games - good or bad, season after season. If your child's team is doing well it becomes an event that all the parents get involved in and support each other in. The grandparents show up on a regular basis and the crowd gets noisy. I remember this game and the horror the poor girl felt when the kick went astray and she scored on her own team. It was quiet in the stands, on our side. Anyone who has kids in sports, or even watches professional sports know the thrill of the win and the agony of defeat.

Book Club - Mornings on Horseback by David McCullough. Theodore's father Theodore died rather suddenly. Interesting to read how the family reacts after someone, who was so central to everything in the family, is gone.
