November 12, 2016 Saturday #workout!#breadoflife#Limbo!#EllisIsland#Tacuarasprouts!

Get Fit
How about some fresh air, sunshine and yard work?  Live in an apartment - go rake a vet's yard.  It is a good day to be outside (here in Michigan) and move some muscles!  Start with some muscle warm ups inside so you don't hurt yourself!

Get Faith
John 6:34-51  This is where Jesus says He is the bread of life.  Those listening to him were suspicious.  They knew him since he was a child and had a hard time believing he is the Son of God.
Blessed are those who have not seen and believe.  vs 48 "I am the bread of life"  Eat and be saved.  Come to church and have communion, with God and your fellow believers. Both considered communion.

On this day
2008 -  Everyday holds many experiences.  I always make a practice of calling at least one person a day, sometimes many more, just to keep in touch.  This was a busy day for a lot of reasons.  I went to two funeral home visitations after work and then had a Board of Youth meeting at church.   Nicole won a limbo contest at Moosejaw.  Always look for the good in every day!

1954 - Ellis Island, the immigration station in New York Harbor, closed after processing more than 20 million immigrants since 1892. My grandparents and mother came through here in 1924.

Tacuarembó

The City of Tacuarembó is the capital of the Department bearing the same name. It lies at the 388th kilometer marker on National Route 5, known as Brigadier General Fructuoso Rivera and it is joined to the Uruguayan littoral area through Route 26.
This district is the pole of financial, cultural and social activities in the core of Uruguay. Livestock production, especially cattle, stands out in this area.
Its name – Tacuarembó – derives from a Guaraníword which means "Tacuara sprouts" an allusion to a vegetable similar to bamboo which grows by the river.
Just like the rest of the country, Tacuarembó features temperate weather with average temperatures of 17°C. March is the rainy season in the area.
The language, the cuisine, the customs and the culture of Tacuarembó seem to have no borders. The labor of its dwellers, in such sense, stands out in the arts, culture and sports.
The place features interesting tourist attractions in the surroundings of the district. Some of them are the Carlos Gardel Museum in Valle Edén, where faithful testimony of the Uruguayan nationality of the tango singer, more precisely of the fact that he was born in this city, is provided.
Furthermore, a few kilometers away from the downtown area, there are extremely beautiful water bodies such as the Laguna de las Lavanderas and Iporá bathing resort. Also, there is a giant ferns cave in the surroundings. In the city, it is worth visiting the Museum of Indians and Gauchos and the Geoscience Museum.
In March, the city gets ready to celebrate the most important event in the country: "La Patria Gaucha" (the Gaucho nation), when the identity of the Uruguayan being is reasserted.
Tacuarembó is looking forward to the visit of tourists. It has many treasures to reveal and this is an invitation for you to discover it along with us   Let's go I'm ready!!!

Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!   Happy Birthday Scott! and Marylou!
