This last video is a beautiful and touching story. A man with Down's Syndrome owns a restaurant. He has a beautiful and kind spirit, he is upbeat and he serves food, drinks....and hugs to his customers. His customers love him and it is easy to see why! Enjoy!
I always enjoy your memes. The video about Tims place is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteThe baseball Jays had a good day yesterday.

ReplyDeleteI am a day late. Happy Friday, Linda! As usual, I love all the quotes you shared. The one that resonates with me today is : "Being considerate of others will take your children further in life than any college education. - Marian Edelman". How true!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely post, Linda! I enjoyed each of the videos you chose. The 100K ticket one was hilarious, the Monet one beautiful and informative, and the Tim's Place one poignant and inspiring. I dearly love Grumpy Cat! You pick such uplifting messages. I'm glad that you're experimenting with digital photography. I've transitioned to using my iPhone only for photography, and I have been very pleased with the results. Your tiger lilies are every bit as lovely as your earlier photos. Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteDear Linda,
ReplyDeleteyour selection is once again wonderful – funny, wise, and at times deeply touching, like the photo of all those dolphins in a wave! 🌊🐬
When I read about Tim’s Place, I looked it up, thinking that if I ever happened to be in the area, we might be able to visit and exchange a hug with Tim. Sadly, I found out that the restaurant already closed back in 2015:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim%27s_Place
I’m so glad you liked Monet’s Garden – maybe you’ll enjoy this post of mine too:

(At the time, there was an immersive Monet exhibition in Vienna, and as a “supporting program,” we visited a school garden inspired by Monet’s garden together with our friends.)
All the best from Austria,
Traude
