Job: Chapter 2 - If you think you have troubles, well don't read Job. His were monumental and won't make you feel better. Friends came over and sat with him for 7 days in silence. They tore their clothes and put dust on their heads. Now those were some friends. Listening, not talking is the best way to give solace to a friend.
On this day:
1998 - I dated occasionally, and the best thing about this first date with Ken was where we went. He introduced me to the Polish Café in Hamtramck. Ken didn't last but I try to get to the Polish Café a few times a year. Great food. Thanks Ken!
1849 - Abraham Lincoln received a patent for the floating dry dock. Its a little interesting.
Parenting - When Nicole was little, I may have mentioned Joey, the kid from across the street, who virtually lived at my house. He started coming over in diapers before I had Nicole. He was 4 when Nicole was born. Through all those years, he is in most of our home videos, ate dinner here at least 5 days a week and looked stricken if we went on vacation without him. We did very often take him along. He lives in Florida now and I think of him a lot.
Book Club - Mornings on Horseback by David McCullough. I must have been a distant cousin to the Roosevelts, poor side of the family. They had a social life much like my own, always busy, many friends, surprised when they found they had nothing to do on any day. Theodore's new wife had a hard time adjusting to the frenzied social life.
Venezuela - Let see what else we can find there:
Traditional clothes
Enjoy the day! Make it Memorable!
