Started the day with Jillian. Circuit training with light weights gets amazing results! Do what you can!
Get Faith
Matthew 9:29 "It shall be done to you according to your faith." This sounds ominous but in the entire context it is not. Jesus gave sight back to two blind men, He asked them in advance if they believed He could heal them and they both replied yes. So now, what does that verse mean? They were healed because they believed in Christ. Our faith keeps us in touch with God, it helps Him to help us when we ask him and believe that He can.
On this day
1977 The Old Heidelberg in Mt Clemens set up huge tents for their Oktoberfest every year. On this day Pete and I went to join with a huge group of friends to commandeer a picnic table to stand on and declare that "WE ARE TABLE NUMBER ONE!!!!!!!" The more beer, the louder we got and the longer the lines were to the porta potties! At an hour at the height of the noise, able bodied men (usually) climbed the posts (that held up the tent) to race to the top. This was both foolish, dangerous and extremely entertaining. This year, the people that set the tents up greased the poles (to try and stop this) with axle grease to make it more entertaining. Pete was not deterred, he went up anyway and was covered with smelly gross axle grease. When we left the tent to go home he didn't want to get into his precious gold Toronado with the grease so he stood behind the car stripped down and put the clothes in the trunk. We could have snuck home unnoticed but he was way too much an exabitionist for that. I was hiding on the floor in the front seat. A memory for my friends from this day.
1620 - The Mayflower departed from Plymouth, England. The ship arrived at Provincetown, MA, on November 21st and then at Plymouth, MA, on December 26th. There were 102 passengers onboard. I wonder what kind of Christmas celebration that was, no tree, no big dinner - maybe just a carol sing. There is always that!
Fresno
Fulton Street in Downtown Fresno was Fresno's main financial and commercial district before being converted into one of the nation's first pedestrian malls in 1964.[30] Renamed the Fulton Mall, the area contains the densest collection of historic buildings in Fresno. While the Fulton Mall corridor has suffered a sharp decline from its heyday, the Mall includes some of the finest public art pieces in the country, including a casting of Pierre-Auguste Renoir's bronze "The Washer Woman", reportedly the only one of the six castings that one can walk up to and touch. Current plans call for the reopening of the Fulton Mall to automobile traffic. The public art pieces will be restored and placed near their current locations and will feature wide sidewalks (up to 28' on the east side of the street) to continue with the pedestrian friendly environment of the district.[31]
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable! Happy Birthday Deb!
