Perfect Moment Mondays Out and About

Welcome to Perfect Moment Monday hosted by Lori of Weebles Wobblog. Perfect Moment Mondays is a place to celebrate the art of appreciation and I was blessed with several perfect moments while just going about my day.

-Seeing a falling star with my 14 y/o son while driving home and then having him explain that a falling star is actually a meteor burning up in our atmosphere. (I was reminded of the verse, They'll learn much more.....than I'll never know, from the song, What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong.)

-During the boys' annual physicals, I had my 11 y/o son show our Pediatrician his "Tickets to the Gun Show", (which means flexing and posing your biceps), and all of us sharing a laugh in the examination room, especially the doctor doubled over from laughter. (Gee, Doc, you gotta get out more...)

-Sharing a lovely birthday dinner with my 80ish parents who are still active, independent, and support and love me and my family in so many ways.

-Having my hairdresser tell me that my hair is So Much Lighter since my last haircut and it's not because it's bleached from the Sun, but because of GREY. And after a few minutes, it didn't bother me. (I would be lying if I said it didn't bother me at all, but then, meh, it's free highlighting and when it bothers moi, I'll do something about it!!)

Thank you so much for sharing in my Perfect Moments, and I wish for you Many Perfect Moments to share and savor.

All great moments. I'll have to use the gun show thing. Too funny.

Your son is packing heat!

What I find perfect is your reaction to grey. I, OTOH, am not so graceful.

OMG, I love the tickets to the gun show. HILLLLL-arious!!!!! Very cute. Then the like to call my grays/silvers my natural gray highlights. It bugs me to not dye them while pregnant but then again I have an excuse and I've earned every single gray hair I got :)

I really need to search for those perfect moments in my Monday...and every day. So often we tend to judge our day as a whole rather than in moments.

One perfect moment? Was when your boys were being so great with Diego at the carnival!

so awesome you can enjoy the birthday celebration (and if it was yours, happy belated) with your parents; that they are still alive and enjoying life in their 80s, truly a wonderful gift for sure :)

What a lovely moment seeing a falling star with your son, I haven't seen one in a long time, maybe I should get out more at night.
Your attitude to the grey hair is great, when so many young teenagers, with beautiful natural hair, are putting colour in, when there is no need.

The gun show is classic... I can just picture an 11-year-old flexing. lol
