“You are never too OLD…”

 

A Creative Calendar from a Retirement Home.

What a fantastic idea.  I bet they had a ball.  

 

A German Retirement Community did a calendar where seniors amazingly recreated famous movie scenes.

The Contilia Retirement Group in Essen, Germany made what is  probably the best calendar ever with a few of their seniors.

According  to German press, 5000 calendars were printed. And they were given out to  residents of the senior center, along with relatives and staff.

The  calendar models were interviewed about the project and said it was a ton of  fun to dress up as their favorite actors.

The  shoot was done with professional stylists and photographers to make sure  everything looked as cool as possible.

The  oldest senior involved with the calendar was 98 years

“YOU might like this – If you like CATS”

“WHY… CATS  aren’t REPUBLICANS!”

by…Messaging Matters

Living with a cat for the first time, you quickly pick up on its behavioral quirks, many of which are common among other cats. What you soon find out is that cats aren’t Republican. Here are 12 reasons why not:

1. Cats are curious about what you do in your bedroom, but they don’t try to legislate away your freedom to do it.

2. Cats may take away your cushion, but they’ll give it back to you with a gentle push.

3. Cats give you attention and sympathy when you’re sick.

4. Females are treated with importance in the cat world.

5. Cats make use of solar power, often all day long.

5. Cats make use of solar power, often all day long.

6. Cats lick their own problems and take care of other cats too.

7. Cats don’t blame black and brown cats for their troubles.

8. Cats know how to ration their resources.

9. Fat cats are not at the top of the cat hierarchy, are not cat role models, and have more trouble surviving and thriving, not less.

10. While Republicans blindly follow authority, it is said that getting Democrats to act in unison is like herding cats.

11. Cats don’t foul their own nest.

12. Cats are popular and well-liked on the Internet and elsewhere.

“FIRST Automobile…”

“Do you remember your  FIRST Automobile…”

This is posted because…my son said he remembers me  talking    about my first automobile…as being a Mercury… and I do not remember having ever owned a Mercury vehicle? This vehicle is a Coronet Dodge…I did own it for at least five years…and would you believe …was able to pay cash for it…and the reason for me to buy a vehicle – – was working and going to college at the same time.

Even though it was WINTER TIME…and there was SNOW on the ground…you would think…that I would at least give the vehicle a WASH JOB…

Thinking back to then…can only remember washing the car…during the warm months…can not remember if there was a place to run through for a “CAR WASH”  may have been…but that part of the brain is not bringing up any memories???

“Grand- Children are the best of GIFTS…to receive from our CREATOR!”

This is Alyssa with her baby sister,  Jaime…and little Jaime seems to be distracted by something else going on in another part of the Living Room.  I sure am glad that Alyssa is such a good big sister…watching over little  Jaime…so that  she is not hurt with that “TRAIN” running around the Christmas Tree…and Alyssa is still paying attention to the   PHOTOGRAPHER…so as to  be able  and ready…to look into that CAMERA…giving us a  beautiful PHOTO…worth a MILLION as a true   KEEPSAKE that will be cherished  forever!

“Let’s take a practice ride… on Daddy’s bike?”

This is Jaime and Alyssa…and they are getting bigger …so instead of watching  just a small  LIONEL TRAIN  run around  the  once-a- year…Christmas Tree…we want to help you ride the big bike on the  “Tarmac” when there are no Air Planes coming or going – – but if you have the time to take us up… in your Air Plane…we will have even more FUN!

“We want to learn …HOW to FLY?”  “WHO wants to go FLYING…with us??”
