LCDR US Navy Retired

Today was busy. First Gideon Prayer Breakfast at 0700-0900, then pickup Gideon mail. Make Memorial Bible data entries. Take checks to bank and update the bank statement. 
Last evening we had a birthday party for Jennifer and Michelle then the girls played games.  Holly's favorite is "dressup". Today I got Gabe lined up to blow the leaves out of the gutter. Then, the ladies of the house left me to baby sit the other grandchildren while they went shopping. Keeping 4 active girls and one boy busy without fights is quite a task. No broken bones.  The girls did some creative Christmas tree decorations and paper chains to decorate the family room. We also put the Christmas lights on the shrubs out front.
Pizza for supper and then a movie, now it’s mostly quite around the home front.  Whew!
Today in History
FIRST NOBEL PRIZES:
December 10, 1901

The first Nobel Prizes are awarded in Stockholm, Sweden, in the fields of physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and peace. I added the links as this may be a good resource for some of you homeschoolers.  I also get to learn a bit as I make these connections and review the content before making the links. Review the list of those who won prizes for literature, you will find many books for reviews if you need another source.

1972 Breakthrough appears near in Paris peace talks.
I was in Vietnam when this was goin on. I came home in March of 1973. Some of you may remember that it was Henry Kissinger who finally worked our the agreement.

1864 Sherman arrives in front of Savannah.
Union General William T. Sherman completes his "March to the Sea" when he arrives in front of Savannah, Georgia. No! I am not old enough to have had a part in this.

Tomorrow, God willing, we will be in Crosspoint.  As they used to say, "Be in Church somewhere Sunday." Echoes of the Past - Billy Sunday.  There is hope for all of us, just look to Jesus.

God bless you all.
