December 17, 2014 Wednesday First day of Chanukah

Kathy Smith and I did some stretching and aerobics this morning.  I'm down with a cold but find if I still exercise the aches and pains lighten up.  Drinking a lot of water too.  What works best for you?


John chapter 15 The Vine and the Branches.  I always think of the song that Pastor Beebe sang with this passage.  Jesus wants us to go and bear good fruit.  Tell someone today of the good news of Jesus Christ.


On this day;
1978  I was Christmas decorating, cleaning house and baking cookies.  What a surprise.  The funny thing is that Pete and I had such a ? relationship that he always found parties to go to, even Saturday afternoons.  Later I learned he had another girlfriend, lol.  Must have been difficult to cover two women for the holidays.  I was writing parts of my journal into a journal for him for Christmas.  He had asked me to do that.  I think we knew we wouldn't last and he wanted to keep the memories a live too.  Lot to think about there, lol.


1978 - OPEC decided to raise oil prices by 14.5% by the end of 1979. They just decided?  Not, they found it necessary due to increased costs or whatever - they just decided to.


Parenting - Sharing with family is having a cold, then everyone has a cold.


Gawlior India -  What else can we find?

About Gwalior

Famous for its magnificent palaces, old temples and the impressive fort, Gwalior was the erstwhile capital of the Scindias. Lying 122 km south of Agra and 423 km north of the state capital Bhopal, Gwalior occupied strategic importance throughout history.
Also known as the ‘Fort City’, the massive hill fort of Gwalior served as the seat of several northern Indian kingdoms. Mughal emperor Babur is believed to have described the fort as ‘the pearl amongst fortresses in Hind’.
Gwalior was among the five princely states which enjoyed 21 gun salute during British rule. Along with Hyderabad, Mysore, Jammu and Kashmir and Baroda, Gwalior held important stature within British India.
Gwalior is the headquarters of Chambal region and a major industrial and commercial region. Often referred to as the tourist capital of Madhya Pradesh, Gwalior is the fourth largest city of Madhya Pradesh and an education hub.
The city is also famous for Scindia School located inside the Gwalior fort. Established in 1897, it is among the prominent boarding schools of India. It was originally started exclusively for nobles and princes and housed in the erstwhile barracks of the British soldiers.
Gwalior is also known as city of music. Gwalior is one of the oldest gharanas or schools of Hindustani classical music. The city is the final resting place of Tansen, the musical genius and one of the nine gems of Emperor Akbar’s court. Sarod Ghar, the first ever museum dedicated to Indian musical instruments, is based in the city.


Enjoy the Day!  Make it Memorable!
