Evening Wisdom and Beauty

Life is a tapestry woven by the decisions we make. Sherrilyn Kenyon

It doesn't matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going.    Brian Tracy

Love and friendship. They are what make us who we are, and what can change us, if we let them.   Emily Giffin

Old Is When ......

'OLD' IS  WHEN.... 

Your sweetie says,  'Let's go upstairs  

and make love,' and you  answer,  

'Pick one; I can't do  both!'


'OLD' IS  WHEN...

Your friends  compliment you  

on your new alligator  shoes  

and you're barefoot..


'OLD' IS  WHEN...

A  sexy babe or hunk catches your fancy 

and your  pacemaker opens the garage door.


'OLD' IS  WHEN...  
Going braless   

pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.


'OLD' IS  WHEN...

You don't care  where your spouse goes,  

just as long as you don't  have to go along.


'OLD' IS  WHEN...

You are cautioned  to slow down by the doctor instead of by the police



'OLD' IS  WHEN...  

'Getting a little  action'  

means you don't need to take any fibre  today.


'OLD' IS  WHEN...

'Getting lucky'  means you find your car  

in the parking  lot.


'OLD' IS  WHEN...  
An  'all nighter' means not getting up  

to use the  bathroom.



'OLD' IS  WHEN....  


You are not sure these  are  jokes

 

 

Evening, Wisdom and Beauty

Thinking: the talking of the soul with itself.
Plato

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.  Marcel Proust

If I keep a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come.
Chinese Proverb

"Never Squat While Wearing your spurs"

 
 

 

Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash, was one of the

greatest political sages this country has ever known. 
Enjoy the following: 
1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.

2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

3. There are two theories to arguing with a woman.

Neither works.

4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

5. Always drink upstream from the herd.

6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it

and put it back into your pocket.

8. There are three kinds of men:

The ones that learn by reading.

The few who learn by observation.

The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence

and find out for themselves.

9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then

to make sure it's still there.

11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.

12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring.

He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.

The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.
ABOUT GROWING OLDER... 
First ~Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying

about your age and start bragging about it.
Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for. 
Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers.

Not me; I want people to know 'why' I look this way.

I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.
Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth,

think of Algebra.
Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks. 
Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging

is that it's such a nice change from being young.
Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.
Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
Tenth ~ Long ago, when men cursed and beat the

ground with sticks,

it was called witchcraft.

Today it's called golf.
And, finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble,

you won't have anything to laugh at when you're old.

This has been a big weekend in Seattle, kicking off the 6 month celebration commemorating,  the 50^th

Anniversary  of the 1962 World’s Fair and the Space Needle!  The photos are mine, taken from a seaplane during a birthday flight several years ago from my son Adam. It was awesome!!  The history here is a portion from an article written by Seattle Times staff reporter, Nancy Bartly.

"With the haunting notes of a Native America flute, the flying feet of a Filipino drill team and the strains of the Seattle Men's Chorus, Seattle Center on Saturday launched into the first day of a six-month celebration commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1962 World's Fair.
Five decades ago, Seattle took a step toward diversity. It was two years before the Civil Rights Act and the fair hosted 27 nations and invited local ethnic groups to show off their best.
The Seattle we know today is the fair's legacy, said Saturday's speakers. "In 1962, Seattle wanted to seize the future and the fair reflected it," said Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn.
The fair was the beginning of the Chinese Community Drill Team, now a staple at many Seattle events, and well known for their dazzling gold-gilded, cardinal costumes.
Performing 50 years later was special for the team, said Sofia Price: "It's coming full circle."
