Happy Umbrellas!

These are happy umbrellas. 


Designs and color give them life!  


Not sure how good they are for shielding from the soaking rain. 


But they do add some shade in the blazing hot sun. 


Florida tends to be hot, hot, hot.  😉

Bucket List

So this week, I managed to check off 1 item from my bucket list. 


I replaced an almost 16-year old 4Runner with a new car that I had been eyeing for some time. 


I never thought I would actually get the new car, but I am so very grateful to Hashem!


My father used to say:

It’s just something to get you from here to there!


And he was right, but it was still nice to replace the old clunker.  😉

Merry-Go-Round and Round

Merry-go-round and round. 


Bobbing up and down, up and down.


Faster and faster and slower and slower.


Animal figures, colorful props, mirrors that reflect it all up.


Children smiling, children happy, what can be more satisfactory. 😉

Singing Frankie The Fish + Happy Engagement Day


At the fish counter at Seven Mile Market in Baltimore, they had Frankie the Fish singing away.

Give me that fish…if it were you in that sandwich you wouldn’t be laughing at all.



And most important today is I am singing because of a very happy day:



Thank you Hashem on the the engagement of Minna and Nafi!

Those Were Different Days

Wow, those were different days…


When the stores still had stuff on the shelves. 


And you could go in without waiting outside for half an hour for social distancing. 

With everyone wearing protective masks and obsessively washing their hands, so please G-d not to get sick. 


Then we were happy!


Now we are all just scared. 


Even if some people are pretending they aren’t.  


It’s more what we still don’t know then what we do. 


And how things can unravel so quickly.


Makes us all appreciate what we had, and hopefully what we’ll have again. 


Shabbat Shalom!  😉

O – Change The World – O

Change the world…by changing your attitude.

Life is Beautiful!

It’s a gift.


Every day is renewal and opportunity

 

Everything is for the best. 


Believe it.  Live it.  And share it.


A smile and a positive attitude is contagious in a good way!

Party Balloons!

Now those are some party balloons!


Really, they are part of an exhibit from the Hirshhorn Museum.


But boy do they make a statement.


Big, pink, and with polka dots.


They are the king of the party. 😉
