A day of rest, except snow removal.
Went to Christ Lutheran today. They had a visiting pastor from Georgia to speak on Food for the Poor. He spoke of the people of Haiti not having food and how much we will spend on food and fun today Super Bowl Sunday. There is a huge disparity in where we spend our money. You can choose to do both, but I know that I spend much more on my own entertainment than I do on the poor. "When I was thirsty you gave me water, when I was hungry you gave me food......" Just a little wake up call.
On this day:
1987 - We were boat dependent people. Mark worked for his Dad's boat dealership and the Boat Show was on downtown. He sold 7 boats that day and they all went out to celebrate at Sindbad's and had too much to drink. Sounded like a good story to me.
1987 - Terry Williams won the largest slot machine payoff, at the time, when won $4.9 million after getting four lucky 7s on a machine in Reno,
NV.
Another good story! this one supposedly true.
Parenting - Went to a party last night and spend most of the time talking to a woman, who said she was 40, she looks 30, has to small boys 4 and almost 1, and health problems. She does have a very supportive husband. Often, when we are busy with children, stuck in the house for the long days of winter and have stress related health problems, it helps to just tell someone and get it off your back. I did advise her to get a yoga video, she said its too hard to find a class that works with her schedule. The other advise was meditate, which I am working on. I read recently that it really helps with mental health. I hope it helped her.
Inuyama Japan- We have moved!
Inuyama Castle
Inuyama (犬山), literally meaning "dog mountain", is a city in Aichi Prefecture, not far from Nagoya. It is most famous for its small but beautiful castle, which is one of Japan's oldest wooden castles in its original state, having survived the turmoils of wars and disasters over the years. The picturesque Kiso River runs along the northern border of the city, where cormorant fishing takes place from June through mid October every year. Southeast of the city center is Meiji Mura, a popular open air historical theme park based on the Meiji Period (1868-1912). Any Questions? Ask them in our question forum. |
