June 9, 2017 Friday#Dailydozen#Goodtimes#Cancelled#Coimbra?#Urbanlayout!

Get Fit
Go to the Daily Dozen and find these exercises that are used in therapy and gyms alike.  It is just as important to keep flexible and have a good range of motion to keep up your strength and balance.  I got it right from the therapists mouth!  We start to lose mobility as we get older and that makes us older.  Keep moving!

Get Faith
Romans 6:1-2  "Well then, shall we keep on sinning so that God can keep on showing us more and more kindness and forgiveness? Of course not!...For sin's power over us was broken when we became Christians."  We often think our sins, such as hating, stealing, adultery etc are too much a part of us to give up.  We want to keep using drugs and alcohol to "enhance or lives" even though the health risks show us that abusing these things doesn't help us have better lives.  Our hating other "peoples" does not benefit anything we do and stealing can cause us life changing events.  God wants us to have better lives and knows that if we discontinue those activities that cause us grief our lives will be better, not boring.  God will continue to show mercy and forgiveness and kindness because He loves us and wants us to be with Him.  He isn't trying to ruin your good time.  You are.

On this day
1991 - It was Sunday morning and Mark had to take Aaron to the Fraser ice rink for a hockey practice at 8:30 am.  When they got there they found out it was cancelled. I would have been at church so wasn't home to hear the rant when they got home, but I'm sure it was not good.  Often, when these things happen it can be because the child has two homes - the mothers and the fathers and the wrong person was notified of the change in plans.  We had a good relationship between the two homes but things happen.  Do you have multiple children that are active in multiple activities?  I can only imagine how bad this could get in those homes.  You have my sympathy.


1064 - Coimbra, Portugal fell to Ferdinand, the King of Castile. I feel like all of these ancient war stories could be books or movies - why do we have the 10th version of the Mummy coming out?  

Cairns Australia

Urban layout[edit]

Cairns is a provincial city, with a linear urban layout that runs from the south at Edmonton to the north at Ellis Beach. The city is approximately 52 km (32 mi) from north to south; it has experienced a recent urban sprawl, with suburbs occupying land once used for sugar cane farming.
The Northern Beaches consist of a number of beach communities extending north along the coast. In general, each beach suburb is at the end of a spur road extending from the Captain Cook Highway. From south to north, these are Machans BeachHolloways BeachYorkeys Knob, Trinity Park, Trinity BeachKewarra BeachClifton BeachPalm Cove, and Ellis Beach.
The suburb of Smithfield is inland against the mountains of the Great Dividing Range, between Yorkeys Knob and Trinity Park. It serves as the main hub for the Northern Beaches, with a modern shopping arcade, called Smithfield Shopping Centre.
South of Smithfield and inland from the Northern Beaches along the edge of the Barron River flood plain are the suburbs of CaravonicaKamerungaFreshwater, and Stratford. This area is sometimes referred to as Freshwater Valley, though it is actually the lower part of Redlynch Valley; further up the valley are the suburbs of Redlynch, on the western side of Redlynch Valley, and Brinsmead on the eastern side. Stratford, Freshwater, and Brinsmead are separated from Cairns city by Mount Whitfield (elevation 365 m (1,198 ft)) and Whitfield Range. Crystal Cascades and Copperlode Dam are also behind this range. (Kuranda, a town on the Barron River on the western side of the Macalister Range, forms part of the Cairns economic catchment but is in the Tablelands local government area and is not part of the Cairns urban area.)
The city centre of Cairns is adjacent to the suburbs of Cairns North, and Parramatta Park, Bungalow, Portsmith, and close to Westcourt, Manunda, Manoora, Edge Hill, Whitfield, KanimblaMooroobool, Earlville, Woree and Bayview Heights. The small suburb of Aeroglen is pressed between Mount Whitfield and the airport, on the Captain Cook Highway between Cairns North and Stratford.
Southside Cairns, situated in a narrow area between Trinity Inlet to the east and Lamb Range to the west, includes the suburbs of White Rock, Mount Sheridan, Bentley Park and Edmonton. The townships of Goldsborough, Little Mulgrave, and Aloomba are near Gordonvale, on the Mulgrave River. This area is serviced by the Bruce Highway. Several other small towns and communities within Cairns' jurisdiction are sparsely located along the Bruce highway, the furthest being Mirriwinni, 66 km (41 mi) south of Cairns city; the largest of these townships is Babinda, about 60 km (37 mi) from the city.  Let's take a drive and see the area today.  I love the names of places and there is always a story or person behind the name.  Don't know where the bats came from.

Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!  Happy Birthday Eleni, Deanna, Maria and Lori!
