Absolute favorite Tweet this week

My absolute favorite Tweet this week ... and I've seen a lot!

This Perfect Moment shared .. well, you know, that passes on the perfect nature of it. Compound interest.

The boys of winter swing for the fences and never show their age.

You know, sometimes it is difficult to find anything to smile about, especially after a tough week at work. But today one of my former students sent me a link to a story that he just did and by the end I was not only smiling, but laughing out loud!

The guys in this story - Aging Northeasterners stay young in the winter by playing stickball - truly know the meaning of enjoying life to the fullest, and I love that they are able to do it by bringing a little of the past into the future.

I hope this brings a smile to your face as well!

Perfect paint colors are in the eye of the contractor

We're starting to think about painting the house.

 

"Somewhere between a healthy Winesap and an unripened Jana."

"You got that, Charlie?"

That's Myrna Loy playing the homeowner with a vivid imagination. She's married to a character played by Cary Grant in Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, made in 1948.

This film proves that nothing ever changes. The experience of renovating an old home was the same then as it was for Tom Hands and Shelly Long in The Money Pit in 1986.  As it is today for you and me.

 Mr. Blandings is full of witty dialogue and well worth renting - can't find it streaming anywhere, dang!

I still like the idea of running down to the store for a pound of the best butter to find the perfect sunny, warm shade.

We're still at the stage where we are driving around the neighborhood, seeing what colors and combinations work well on other houses.  Maybe we should head to the grocery store.

A Saturday night full of friends and laughter

Motorized cooler for two

You'd look sweet upon the seat of a cooler made for two.

These teens were heading home after a day at the beach.

It cracked us up. They were very serious, keeping their eyes on the road.

Waiting for the bride... really, what bride?

Don't despair. The bride did arrive and it was a beautiful wedding full of all the Perfect Moments a wedding brings.  

But none were more perfect than this one.
