Creative Calendar from a Retirement Home.

‘Growing old’ is mandatory, ‘growing up’ is optional !! And If you haven’t grown up by the time you are FIFTY then you damn well don’t have to !!!

The Contilia Retirement Group in Essen, Germany, who follow this maxim produced a calendar where seniors amazingly recreated famous movie scenes.  The  shoot was done with professional stylists and photographers to make sure  everything looked as cool as possible. The technical age of all 19 youthful seniors pictured ranged for youngest being 77 to the oldest at 98 years old.

Why You Should Always Carry A Camera

MAKE SOMEONE SMILE.

The photographer did a great job of matching up the kids and dogs. This is absolutely adorable!!


A friend is someone we turn to when our spirits need a lift


A friend is someone we treasure for our friendship is a gift




A friend is someone who fills our lives with beauty, joy, and grace.



And makes the world we live in a better and happier place.


There is a miracle called friendship, that dwells in the heart.
You do not know how it happens or when it gets it's start.



But you know the special lift it always brings.
You realize that friendship is the world's most precious gift!



Send this to all your friends, no matter how often you talk, or how close you are.

Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will.WHY GOD MADE PETS

They help out around the house...


They protect our children...


They look out for the smaller ones...

They show us how to relax...

They 'converse' with each other.

They help you when you're down...

They are great at decorating for the Holidays..


They have 'great' expectations.


They are Patriotic.


They are happy to 'test' the water.


They love their 'teddies'


They know who's 'BOSS.


AND - They know when we need a good LAUGH!

HAVE YOU SMILED TODAY?????
It is done by moving the corners of the mouth upward.
LET ME SHOW YOUHOW.............
