(Lyn's note: Please feel free to send us any pictures you'd like included. If your photos are for sale, let us know and we will put them under that category. We have a special section for that purpose, and have just added some art as well. If anyone would like to buy a print of any of Herbert's photos, all profits will be donated to one of the local non-profit organizations.) Here's the link to this week's Pictures of the Week.

Hi Lyn!
We are so appreciative of your wonderful support of Desert Foothills Theater!

Hi again. I suppose this has already been looked at but I was wondering about a small movie theatre. There could be matinees Saturday and Sunday for small children (parents would have to bring them) and evenings either foreign movies or 'good' movies for the adults. I'm from Marin County (across the GG bridge from S.F. and we have a small movie theatre in Tiburon showing just a single movie that's either foreign or exceptional, no crazy nutty films. Already discussed??

(Lyn's note: If a community center is built onto Carefree Town Hall with Desert Foothills Theater as the anchor, DFT is planning to present movies as part of their program. Currently, the Town is looking at the possibility of doing outdoor movie nights in the Garden amphitheater during the season, now that there is lighting and a sound system. Wouldn't that be fun? So, yes, already discussed!)
The Magic Bank Account
Imagine that you had won the following *PRIZE* in a contest: Each morning
your bank would deposit $86,400 in your private account for your use.
However, this prize has rules:
The set of rules:
1. Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you.
2. You may not simply transfer money into some other account.
3. You may only spend it.
4. Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400 for that day.
5. The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say, “Game Over!". It can close the account and you will not receive a new one.
What would you personally do?
You would buy anything and everything you wanted right? Not only for
yourself, but for all the people you love and care for. Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right?
You would try to spend every penny, and use it all, because you knew it would be replenished in the morning, right?
ACTUALLY, This GAME is REAL ....
Shocked ??? YES!
Each of us is already a winner of this *PRIZE*. We just can't seem to see it.
The PRIZE is *TIME*
1. Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life.
2. And when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is Not credited to us.
3. What we haven't used up that day is forever lost.
4. Yesterday is forever gone.
5. Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your
account at any time WITHOUT WARNING...
SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds?
Those seconds are worth so much more than the same amount in dollars. Think about it and remember to enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than you think.
So take care of yourself, be happy, love deeply and enjoy life!
Here's wishing you a wonderful and beautiful day. Start “spending”....
DON’T COMPLAIN ABOUT GROWING OLD! SOME PEOPLE DON'T GET THE PRIVILEGE!
