It will be a good day

I hope everyone has an enjoyable week.. with no lost pets, no road rage, and limited nasty weather. We have had our fill of those in recent days.  Here's to calmer days ahead. 



Yes, I know I shared this picture yesterday in the previous post, but I thought it was good enough for a second shot. 😉




This one reminded me of Duncan. 
Is anyone smiling yet?




I know for sure GJ is smiling!  


Brought to you by Roxie trying to be positive 😃

Photos

     I found these pictures while browsing the internet yesterday. I thought everyone would enjoy them.


1) The oldest known selfie was taken by amateur chemist and  photography enthusiast, Robert Cornelius. ( 1839 ).



2) A " knocker-up " waking up  clients. ( early 20th century )



3) Nine kings gather to mourn the death of King Edward VII ( 1910 )
This may be the most kings ever photographed at once.
Represented are Norway, Bulgaria, Portugal,  the German  Empire, Greece
Belgium, Spain, Great Britain and Denmark.



4) A prohibition era sign, speaking out against liquor. 



5) A beach official measures bathing suits to make sure they are not too short. (1920 )
Seriously?!



6) The LA public library's bookmobile program for the sick. ( 1928 )



7)  Salvador Dali and Coco Chanel sharing a smoke break. ( 1938 )



8) An ice cold whiskey dispenser. ( 1960 )

It's Monday, it's Pun Day

Is anyone in the mood for a few groaners?


Go to Italy, Rome around, and pasta time.



I hate negative numbers and will stop at nothing to avoid them.



Thanks for explaining the word "many" to me, it means a lot.



How do you comfort a grammer fanatic?  There, their, they're.



My grandma told me her joints were getting weak, so I told her to roll them tighter.



I should have been sad when my flashlight's batteries died, but I was delighted.

Happy Mother's Day!

Today is Mother's day. Some people say that every day should be Mother's day, and that certainly could be true. However, most Mom's don't expect that, and it is often difficult to just sit back and enjoy the day. I am certainly guilty of that, I prefer to be the one planning a dinner rather than being the one waited on. However, every year it gets a little easier to relax..😊

This post serves two purposes, I get to wish all of you wonderful ladies a Happy Mother's Day, plus I get to plan a small celebration.  It's a win win situation!



Pretty flowers are always nice.






Of course we have to have a drink to celebrate.



If we only drink champagne we will get tipsy, so treats are needed.






I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
