Do you rest up for the weekend or get your workout in so as not to interfere with weekend plans? When you work, I know a lot of people that plan to go to the gym on Saturday. Try to find something you can work in each day - just parking farther from the store door helps! I worked out with a resistance band today, with Richard - just a little something to tone up those muscles.
Get Faith
Matthew 16:5 "When they went across the lake, the disciples forgot to take bread. Be careful, Jesus said to them. Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees. This reminds me that yeast makes things rise and grow and seemingly better. It also reminds me that bad things begin as a rumor, uprisings to encourage hate and arguements to separate people from each other. What warning do you see Jesus bringing up here?
On this day
1983 - Andy and Alice, Ty and Norma and Mark and I were up in St Helen for the weekend. The guys went hunting, well maybe Andy did and it must have been bow hunting. My Mom and her husband Bob came down and we all had dinner before we headed south for home and Mom went back up to Gaylord where she lived then. I remember it to be a nice fall weekend with great friends and family. Try to hang on to your good memories!
1910 - Blanche S. Scott became the first woman to make a public solo airplane flight in the United States. Anyone remember this lady? I guess you have to get lost to be remembered.
Parenting
I was watching TV the other night and was reminded of something I have seen a lot, in life and on TV. A parent, even in out and out proof that their child is guilty of something will not accept it and make excuses for their child. We all do that to an extent. I was wondering while I watched it if the child's behavior was based on a parent allowing bad behavior and making excuses for them when they are little. I wonder what the study on this would look like.
Book Club - The Other Irish by Karen McCarthy (yes still)
I have moved into the country music aspect of this heritage. Very, Very interesting.
Jekabpils Latvia - music continued
Instrumentation
Accompaniment to the village songs is played on various traditional instruments, the most important of which is the kokle, a type of zither related to the Finnish kantele. In the 1970s, artists like Jānis Porikis and Valdis Muktupāvels led a revival in kokle music, which had only survived in the Courland/Kurzeme and Lettgallia/Latgale regions. The Latvian-exile community abroad, especially in the United States, has also kept kokle traditions alive. In the last hundred years a new kind of kokle was developed, with many more strings, halftones levelers and other improvements that expand the capacities of the instrument to play not only modal music but, in other point of view, displeased more traditional musicians. This kind of instrument is called "concert kokle". However, there is currently only one concert kokle maker left, though he is to begin training apprentices with the help of EU grants. sounds like a good business to get into!Enjoy the Day! Make it memorable!
