Word Full Wednesday: The Trouble With Termites & Assumptions

"Assumptions are the termites of relationships!"

Henry Winkler

 

Monday afternoon, we drove to the car wash.  In front of us in the queue was this hot looking orange BMW.  Both of us remarked on the color and wondered who was driving this showstopper! 

 

We were sitting in the patio with the other customers who were waiting for their car.  As we looked around, we could not figure out who owned this car.  

 

There was a young woman reading a book, another woman reading a book, the two of us and a handsome well dressed older gentleman who sat for a few minutes, then went for a walk around the station.  A young man on a skate board also came around...could he be the car's owner?

Here is another frame of the same photo .  You can see who owns this car! It was the dapper old gentleman! It just does not pay to assume.  The car attendants were smiling as were we!  Happy Wednesday!

Love that quote, Alexandra. I've found that you get old enough and you do what you like and need not care what other people think. An orange car like that would be right up my alley.

And here I thought this was going to be a post about termites. Boy do I have one to share!

At any rate, interesting entertainment while waiting for your car. Such a vibrant orange!

Nina Hollander I had a friend who was always worried about what people thought of her.  I found this great little book with a wonderful title, What you think of me is none of my business. That book changed her life.  A

Hi Alexandra... I've never heard of that book, but it's perfect for many people! Fortunately, I've never had much of an issue worrying about what other people think of me.

Good for him!  I love that he is the owner of that fun, albeit, a bit brightly colored car. He's not afraid of attention. :)
