This painting drew me in...something that brings me back to simpler times and people enjoying a walk and taking time to talk to one another. The artist's name is Albert Moulton Foweraker (1873-1942)
I found these last items worthwhile to share as well.
Now for the videos. Here is another Just for Laughs Gag.
I found this next video on old Swiss folk music very enjoyable and hope you all do as well! :)
Thank you all so much for visiting me here! I always appreciate and enjoy reading your kind thoughts, which you are always welcome to share.
très drôle la vidéo, le banc est malade !
ReplyDeletebonne nuit Linda
Oh Linda ~ These laugh gags are too funny! They don't stop ~ They push the gag to the limit! I'm so enjoying these too. Also the Swiss music! The Lao Tzu quote is the key to happiness. Take care and have a good week!
ReplyDeleteLove all the quotes!
ReplyDeleteHowever do they think up those gags? You are extending and improving our health by giving us stuff to smile about.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit the bench one is pretty clever
DeleteFoweraker's an artist I wasn't familiar with, but I like it.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!

I think my favorite is the second one, it is awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou always find quotes that really speak to me.
ReplyDeleteLove that old world look painting. Today it seems folks just pass by without so much as a nod most times. Sad had we seem to have lost a connection with each other. I know if I'm in a parking lot and pass someone who isn't afraid to make eye contact I do try to say hello and smile. Makes me feel good I hope it does them.
Great quotes, Linda! I love the one about conflict--that's an eye-opener.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda ! :o)
ReplyDeleteThese laugh gags are too funny !!!!
Thanks for sharing
Hugs :o)

The Laughs gag was a hoot! And I loved the Wayne Dyer quote about conflict. So true.
ReplyDeleteLao Tzu, his words are so true. lovely quotes, and what a gag video, very apt to us down here right now, specially as the second ambulance the other night parked not far from our seat bench!!! Cheers from Jean.
ReplyDeleteI love that painting, for the exact opposite reasons I liked the painting in the previous post. The colours are so soft.
ReplyDeleteThe quote by Lao Tzu is absolutely perfect.
Great and wise quotes!

ReplyDeleteAnother fine post Linda.
ReplyDeleteA bit of information for your readers about Foweraker's painting.
It's The Sloop Inn, St. Ives, Cornwall.
It's been open since around 1312 and you can still eat and drink merrily there to this day.
I always enjoy your uplifting posts. Wayne Dyer is one of my favorite motivators:)
ReplyDeleteI really admire the words of Lao Tzu, Linda. Thank you so much for posting them. And the "The Sloop Inn" is such a beautiful painting.... it's so nice to imagine stepping into it and having a quiet, peaceful, simple day with the folks who live there.
