So, there's this new old folks retirement village that popped up near our house recently. It's adorable. They are all one story, have a garage, a driveway long enough for an RV....it's the perfect community for old folks. The houses are SO cute. I'd live there if they'd let me. I'm quiet, I don't like to use stairs and I like to go to bed early too! I bet I take as many pills as they do. I'd fit right in. But I can't. Because my birth certificate says I'm not old enough.
It's age discrimination.
But, that's not the point I'm making today. As you're driving past the community...it has signs that advertise why you'd want to live there...
"No yard maintenance!"
"No shoveling snow!"
And the main one...
"Throw your cares away!!!"
Attached to the last sign were balloons to draw your attention and get you all excited. The only problem?
The balloons were black. Upon closer inspection you could tell that there WERE black and orange (for Halloween, I presume) but the orange ones were deflated...leaving only the black balloons to advertise this old folks community. Is it really the image you want to portray? They should get a new sign...
"Throw your cares away because you're going to DIE here!!!"

Boy Oh Boy, am I ever running in the other direction from that place. I already feel like I've got one foot in the grave without them trying to hurry me up. Black Balloons-- Boo!
It really is the perfect little subdivision. I think the houses are really nice and it seems if you croak while living there, they are already set up with funeral balloons. ah, perfection!
Ha ha ha ha.....that's purty funny!
And daisy's growing in the backyard......
That is just too funny.
