Blessed are the weird people: poets, misfits, writers, mystics, painters, troubadours for they teach us to see the world through different eyes. - Jacob Nordby
Sprinkle a little love into someone's heart today! Remember, there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end...
Hi Linda, hope this finds you well and happy! I was fascinated to see the video of the man who loves to live in 1946. He has a unique approach to everything. (Good to see he has a modern fridge though!). He's quite right, the world does move too fast these days. Many thanks for finding all these gems. Cheers now, Sue :D) xx
I have to thank you once again Linda for bringing so much joy to my life I have loved watching the videos I do so love a little nostalgia, the ideas for the cats are awesome a truly wonderful post, thank you for sharing hugs lorraine x
I love all the 40s music. I especially love the big ban era. I listen to that music all the time. I'm not sure I'd want to live in a 40s home, but he's happy and that's what counts.
Linda, Weird but somewhat charming...that man who is living back in 1946. I did like the fact that he cheated a little and had a small fridge. Loved the cat crafts...the 'lap bed' was really creative. Our rescue cat loves his big ball of jute twine and any bags or boxes he can get into.
As for sayings...without actually saying anything negative to someone...down here in the south, the favorite is "Well bless his/her/their heart". It can be a positive message or the exact opposite depending on how its said. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
I love Marmalade and Cole! Their cat dad has some great DIY ideas...especially the cardboard scratcher! Guess it's time I purchase a glue gun...have a great weekend!
Wonderful qoutes and videos, dearest Linda - and I LOVE the ideas for cats and their "owners". The black and red cats in the movie look a bit like my cats Nina (black) and Maxwell (red - but without the white "socks") :-)) Happy new year, my dear and thank you for your nice wishes!!! Hugs, Traude ∗♥∗♥∗♥∗♥∗♥∗♥∗♥∗♥∗♥∗♥∗♥∗♥∗♥∗♥∗ http://rostrose.blogspot.co.at/2017/01/namibia-teil-4-die-dunen-beim.html
Hello Linda! Oh that 40s video is neat. Very fun! I adore things like that, the 40s was just such a neat time in many ways. Our country had a healthy fear of God and things were so much more wholesome then.
I'll have to view the art video of the pastel cat, drawing and such can be very relaxing. We should create for ten minutes a day I recently read. (good idea i think!) : )
Great quotes, love the artist and writer one. *smile* Yes, people do view deep thinkers as such. Too bad for them! Ha!
You take care now, hope you are having a wonderful and uplifting New year.
Love the emphasis on the 40s - great music, good values, era of the Greatest Generation. And loved everything else, of course (especially the lap for the cats). Thanks, Linda!
very complete post you give always dear . loved the cat lap most though liked the all . power of positivity overwhelmed me ! wishing you a very Happy new year my friend.
Such an amazing collection, as always, Linda. Two quotes really spoke to me...the "peace" one, and "Lost Soul"...both are so important to us in these troubled times, aren't they?!
Have a Fabulous New Year, my dear Friend...and Lots of Love & Hugs xoxoxo
Hi Linda! What a great collection of posters for the new year ... very appropriate. Love the 1946 video. I have good memories of 1946. I was in the 6th grade in Los Angeles and spent most of my spare time playing "cops and robbers" with my friends or riding me bike around the city. I had my own radio and listened mostly to country music. No TV or video games. Every afternoon I delivered the "Hollywood Citizen News" to about 100 subscribers. A year late I was delivering the "Los Angeles Times" which was a much better deal as I didn't have to go door to door collecting my money! The war was over and the future bright.
Thanks so much for your kind words and I appreciate greatly that you continue to check in on me on L & L Photography!
As ever Linda, great quotes all round. Sometimes it's better to just remain silent and smile though is one that sticks in my mind. I wish I could always remember that, sometimes I just open my mouth when I know I should keep it shut and smile!!! Have a great Sunday and keep warm, Diane
Thank you Linda! Such a great selection today! My favorite is the "Be Tolerant.." quote, me need much more of that these days... Enjoy the new week ahead! Diane
Hello Linda, It's been another long time since I've visited. I hope 2017 will be a year of more writing and blog reading for me because I do miss it! Your videos are quirky and funny. The first one - strangely adorable. And good sentiments from all the quotes. I actually saved one into my computer's library. Happy New Year!
Good evening dear Linda, It has been much too long since I have visited. Thank you for coming over to visit and leaving such a kind note. I would also like to thank you for all your beautiful and uplifting post this past year. Your blog is such a peaceful place to visit. I always come away with a smile. Happy New Year blessings, Penny
I'm not sure what happened to my original comment...Loved the cat vid and the one of the guy re-creating 1940's life. I wonder if he appreciate the irony of being on youtube given his take on technology...I've seen a woman do the same as him, also from England...they should meet...Enjoy your Sunday.
Thankyou Linda!! "Blessed are the weird people!" Yes :) Loved your post today, as always!! I hope you've been having a great weekend. I hope you don't mind, but I read your comment on Ygraine's blog. Your poor mom, losing so many children!! You are a true blessing Linda!! A treasure! Big Hugs!
The first video of the guy living in the 1940s style reminds me strongly of the old Sparks song with its clever lyrics and funny chorus. "It ain't 1918 for us or for you... if we can't enjoy it then neither should you."
Another of your fun post packed with great quotes and interesting videos. I really enjoyed the first one about the fellow living as if in the 1940s. I saw one about a lady living as if still in the 1930s - eccentric people!
Hi Linda! Happy New Year my friend! I haven't seen any Laurel and Hardy in so long, it was fun to see the clip here. (What awful Christmas cards they were!) I agree that 2017 will be the best yet, so let's ride through it with joy! Blessings, Ceil
I'm thinking that 2017 is going to be a good year, dear Linda! I'm quite happy to live in 2017 and not in 1946, thank you! I was fascinated by the tree stump scratcher and other crafts for kitties. If I could hang the scratcher on the wall it might help when I get a pesky itch between my shoulders. Anyone who is unkind to a waiter is not someone I want to be around! Thanks for sharing these things today!
Please do not be shy! I appreciate your kind comments, they are sweet treasures and really make my day! Spammers, do not waste your time, I delete your comments and they do not even show on my blog. Comment moderation is enabled. I do hope that Blogger's changes in the way of proving that you are not a robot do not deter you from commenting! Thank you so much! If you have Google+ and are only allowing Google+ users to comment on your blog, I do not have, nor do I want it. And if you use DISQUS for accepting comments on your blog I don't have that, either, nor do I want it. Thanks!
Lovely quotes! I love a peaceful evening relaxing at home and I fully agree that remaining silent and just smile is better and safer too!
ReplyDeleteI agree that sometimes it's better to just remain silent and smile!! especially if you hv nothing good to say.. ahahah
ReplyDeleteCara Linda, buona Epifania cara amica con un abbraccio e un sorriso:-)

ReplyDeleteOne of the greatest gifts you can give someone is thanking them for being part of your life.
