HAPPY MOTHERS DAY, MARK MARTIN WINS AGAIN

I want to wish all you Mother's out there who read Mickey's Place a Happy Mother's Day, it looks like it is going to be a nice day weather wise here in CH. Mark Martin won his 2nd race of the season last night at Darlington edging out Jimmie Johnson for the win, all I have to say is that there were to many cautions in the race and I didn't think the race was ever going to end. The Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Washington Capitals in OT last night 4-3 to take a 3-2 series lead, they will play game 6 tomorrow in Pittsburgh and I have to say things are not looking to good for the Capitals. The Virginia baseball team beat Duke yesterday 10-9 in a game that they needed to win, the Cavs trailed most of the before pulling out the win, the Cavs can win the series with a win today. The CH baseball team will return to action tomorrow at Meadowbrook and yes it is weather permitting, there is 40% chance of rain an it is going to be a bit on the cool side with a high of 63. My PAIN index is up this morning because I numerous ailments. MICKEY

Success is not measured by the heights one attains, but by the obstacles one overcomes in its attainment. ~Booker T. Washington

When trying to get into shape it is important to have family and friends in support. This means they need to respect your goals and not offer you wrong foods or try to pull you away from your exercise program. Explain to them how important this is to you and that you need their encouragement.

Eat more orange stuff
And I don’t mean cheese curls. Orange-hued foods contain vitamin A, a nutrient that powers your eyesight; keeps your skin, gums, and teeth healthy; and, most importantly, boosts your immune system to help you fight off viruses. Most women fall short in their daily diets by about 20%, so make it up by adding these orange all-stars to a few meals: 1 small sweet potato, some canned pumpkin (mix into pancake batter—it’s a great, delicious twist), some cantaloupe cubes, or a few dried apricots.
