Rose-Colored Glasses

Some folks are said to look at things through rose-colored glasses, which is defined as have an unduly cheerful, optimistic, and quite favorable view of life.

There’s NOTHING wrong with that.

BUT, at the Frog & PenguINN, the only rose-colored glasses are 6 wine glasses. These were a recent find at a local thrift store.

YES, it’s true that we are in the process of getting rid of “stuff.” So, they have replaced other wine glasses on the left, which were NOT colorful at all.

And, now we are looking at the world through rose-colored glasses, just of a different type. We we do it almost daily and use these glasses at dinner time, even for water or juice. Blueberry juice looks especially colorful.

BUT, there’s an odd thing that happens with these glasses hanging on a rack in our kitchen. They mysteriously change directions on a almost daily basis. (Grenville swears he has nothing to do with this phenomena.)By the way, IF you find yourself humming a tune about rose-colored glasses, it might be that you remember familiar lines of a song recorded by Frank Sinatra in 1962. The song dates to 1926 when it was penned by songwriters Jimmy Steiger & Tommy Malie and introduced in a Roaring 20s theatre revue, A Night in Paris.

Looking at the World Thru Rose Colored Glasses

Looking at the world through rose colored glasses,
Everything is rosy now.
Looking at the world and everything that passes,
Seems of rosy hue somehow.
Why do I feel surprise, don't wink your eyes,
Needn't guess I'll confess, certain someone just said yes.
In a bungalow all covered with roses, I will settle down I vow,
That's why I'm looking at the world through rose colored glasses,
Everything is rosy now.

Hope everyone is having a rosy day. Our family and friends in the Northeast US are digging out from the weekend snow storm, Nemo (named by The Weather Channel NOT the National Weather Service). Good news is that all are safe as we hope all you and yours are too.
