November 16, 2016 Wednesday #pirouettes#freedom#thedeerhunter#walkingtour!

Get Fit
Get up on your  toes, do some pirouettes, stretch out your arms and legs -  before you lose the ability to do so.  I am glad I don't have a full mirror to watch myself do the ballet exercises it is better to believe I look like the woman in the video.  Humor yourself - also a good exercise.

Get Faith
Hebrews 11:32-12:3  Our history is brutal.  Think of those from the Old Testament to modern day. This reading reminds us of all those who have given their lives for our beliefs and and our freedom. We are so fortunate.  From the Israelites who fought to worship OUR God to today's military fighting to keep others on foreign shores freedoms and their religious beliefs intact, that are not even ours. If one person on this earth is persecuted for their beliefs, we all are.  12:3 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith." " Love one another. "

On this day
1967 - My fiancee, Don, went deer hunting with his cousin.  They left in the middle of the night and were back the same day with deer.  My father was a deer hunter and he was gone for the better part of the two weeks of deer season.  He came home, picked us up and took us back up north for Thanksgiving in a little cabin one year.  Deer hunting was a rite of passage in our family.  You never, never planned anything important during that time or it would be women only.  So, I couldn't imagine how Don and his cousin made such short work of it.  ???

1776 - British troops captured Fort Washington during the American Revolution. I wonder how many lives were lost in this battle for our freedom, young men who would rather been hunting.

Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!  Happy Birthday Cholo and Sheldon!
