October 12, 2016 Wednesday #Swim#TY#Mom#EinProsit#PeneLane#Peace!

Get Fit
Looking for an indoor pool that I can exercise in.  My cousin that I had dinner with last night had been going to a local pool and says it is really helping with that sore, stiffy achy stuff seniors begin to feel.  You find something that works for you at your age!  It matters!

Get Faith
Psalm 136 - a song of praise to our Creator.  And after he had made the earth and all that is in it -Genesis 1:12 And God saw that it was good.  Enjoy the world, enjoy the life you have and all that makes you happy - God does.  Don't forget to thank Him for it!

On this day
2014 Mom and I went to First English and stayed after church for the Autumn lunch they had and purchased pumpkins - probably sold by the youth group.  I wonder how long before these treasured memories of events that I had with Mom don't start me crying.  In the mean time - I am happy for all of the great memories and times I did share with her.  Call your parents today, or loved ones, it matters.

1810 - Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig married Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen. The royalty invited the public to attend the event which became an annual celebration that later became known as Oktoberfest. We owe a debt of gratitude to Ludwig and Therese for this ongoing celebration!  Ein Prosit!  

Cousins dinner
A group of us girls have been going to dinner once a month for over 20 years.  Last night five of my cousins and my friend Waynette and her cousin went out to a place called Penne Lane.  It is on Hall Road between Groesbeck and Gratiot, the old Luigi's.  The background music, although a little loud, was great and reminiscent of the the old movies.  The food was terrific!  Kathy and I both had the Eggplant Parmesan and said it was the best we had tasted.  Great bread and dipping oil and the service was great.  There are cozy booths if you want a romantic evening.  I give it a 5!  If you don't live in the area, well, I'm sorry.  Next review , next month November 15!

Suriname
The Maroons often raided plantations to recruit new members from the slaves and capture women, as well as to acquire weapons, food and supplies. They sometimes killed planters and their families in the raids; colonists built defenses, which were so important they were shown on 18th-century maps, but these were not sufficient.[10]
The colonists also mounted armed campaigns against the Maroons, who generally escaped through the rain forest, which they knew much better than did the colonists. To end hostilities, in the 18th century the European colonial authorities signed several peace treaties with different tribes. They granted the Maroons sovereign status and trade rights in their inland territories, giving them autonomy. Again we learn that oppression leads to aggression.

Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!  Happy Birthday to Mark and Bekah!!
