Ella Fitzgerald
“Puttin’ On The Ritz”

Have you seen the well-to-do
Up and down Park Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air

High hats and narrow collars
White spats and lots of dollars
Spending every dime
For a wonderful time

Now, if you’re blue
And you don’t know where to go to
Why don’t you go where fashion sits
Puttin’ on the Ritz
Different types who wear a daycoat
Pants with stripes and cutaway coat
Perfect fits
Puttin’ on the Ritz

Dressed up like a million dollar trooper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper
Super-duper

Come, let’s mix where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks or “umberellas”
In their mitts
Puttin’ on the Ritz

Tips his hat just like an English chappie
To a lady with a wealthy pappy
Very snappy

You’ll declare it’s simply topping
To be there and hear them swapping
Smart tidbits
Puttin’ on the Ritz

How about a little bit of Club Sheba Evening Peeps!

Cherie,

I am so glad you are loving your new car. ♥ I know your MIL will be so happy to see
the grandkids. I know you will be happy to rest. 🙂 Perfect trip for a weekend. 🙂

I sure do combined my skin care routine. This new regimen of skincare for me is
working very well. I will give a full review by Sunday I started using this Saturday Night
so to be fair I need another day or two. Cherie with the Non-Negotiables I only need
to use that once a week. So..my next day to use this will be Saturday. ♥ So far so good.

i believe if you take good care of your skin inside and out it will take good care of you.

Yes things will be blooming especially after the rainfall this weekend. Enjoy the ride. ♥

@taci,

The day is just perfect I can’t wait to start planting new flowers. We have rain this

Discovering the Little Things That Make Us Happy

Rediscover the little things in life that make you happy, add a new little thing each day, and be prepared to shine.

Life is full of little wonders that can make us happy. The sound of a baby’s laughter, a good book, the comforting smell of a favorite old sweatshirt, and the warmth from a cup of hot tea are simple pleasures that can easily put smiles on our faces. These “little things” are easily accessible to us and can be sources for happiness. A key to finding them is taking the time to put those rose-colored glasses from childhood back on so you can easily access the joy in all the “little things” life has to offer.

Finding a puppy rummaging through the laundry basket, trying on that perfect shade of lipstick, or discovering the extra change you left in your back pocket can turn into moments of delight. Like kids digging in the sandbox for buried trinkets, we may even begin to experience happiness when we engage in the seemingly mundane. Figuring out a software program can feel like deciphering a treasure map, and that first sip of tea in the morning can taste like a forbidden delicacy. Swaying to music playing on the radio can turn into an interpretive jig, riding a bike can seem like flying to the moon, and getting a phone call from that special someone can feel like winning the lottery. A pickup game of basketball becomes an exciting match among champions, and observing an elderly couple walking hand in hand can turn into a meditation on peace and contentment.

When we begin rediscovering that the little things in life can make us happy, we naturally want to share this joy with others. We may gush over a friend when we run into them unexpectedly, praise a street musician for their talents, or blow bubbles for the neighborhood kids to chase. We may even start to think of the little things we can do to make other people happy, which in turn makes us happy all over again. There is an endless supply of little things and little moments that can make us happy. All we have to do is look for them, and they’ll magically start to appear. ♥

bichon18,

I wish you could take little Ari with you on your trip if the world was perfect that would be
the best ever.

i know you will be glad when you get there and glad when you get back home. I hope
you can FaceTime while you are there where little Ari can actually see you or Skype. 🙂

Amy take it easy today and just relax and spend any time you can with the little man. ♥

@bichon18,

Amy you and Jerry take your time. I know you are anxious about little Ari.
