NOT MUCH DONE YESTERDAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIANNE

Well the didn't to much on the new room yesterday, the only thing they did was come by and put the tar paper on the roof last night. Hopefully the electrician and the plumber will come by today. Today is also Julianne's birthday and she is 17 today, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIANNE. Fellow blogger A.G. will be working tonights West Virginia at Maryland football game tonight on ESPN, I don't think he will have to run as much as he did last Thursday night. I did go up to the JV football game last night and the Colonials lost a tough one 6-0 to Park View, they scored the only touchdown of the game on there 1st drive of the game. I think I am going to watch some of the volleyball tonight, they are playing Dinwiddie at home. It looks like we might get a little rain tomorrow now, there is 60% chance of rain showers and t-storms. MICKEY

Family Dinners Shape Healthier Eating Habits
Teens who eat dinner with their families on a regular basis are also more likely to eat fruit and vegetables as young adults, a new study shows.

These teens also go on to drink fewer soft drinks in adulthood, the study found.

Reporting in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, researchers at the University of Minnesota surveyed more than 1,500 students once during high school and again at age 20 about diet, social eating, meal structure and meal frequency.

The survey included questions about how often their family ate together, how much they enjoyed eating with family, if they ate on the run, and how often they ate breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Teens who reported eating family meals were more likely to report eating fruit, dark green and orange vegetables and key nutrients, and drinking fewer soft drinks. The more frequently they ate family meals as teens, the more likely they were to eat dinner as adults, placing a higher priority on structured meals and social eating.

For women, eating with their family during adolescence meant significantly higher daily consumption of calcium, magnesium, potassium, vitamin B6 and fiber as adults. Among males, eating with their family during adolescence results in eating more calcium, magnesium, potassium and fiber as adults.
