Creative Calendar from a Retirement Home

A Creative Calendar from a Retirement Home

What a fantastic idea.  I bet they had a ball.   A German Retirement Community did a calendar where seniors amazingly recreated famous movie scenes. The Contilia Retirement Group in Essen, Germany made what is probably the best calendar ever with a few of their seniors. According  to German press, 5,000 calendars were printed.  And they were given out to residents of the senior center,  along with relatives and staff. The calendar models were interviewed about the project. They said it was a ton of fun to dress up as their favorite actors. The shoot was done with professional stylists.   The photographers tried to make sure everything  look as cool as possible. The  oldest senior involved with the calendar was 98 years old!   JANUARY James  Bond Wilhelm Buiting, 89 FEBRUARY Breakfast  at Tiffany’sMarianne Brunsbach, 86   MARCH  TitanicErna Rütt, 86, und Alfred Kelbch, 81  APRIL  RockyErwin J. von der Heiden, 80  MAY Mary  PoppinsErna Schenk, 78  JUNE The  Seven Year ItchIngeborg Giolbass, 84, und Erich Endlein, 88  JULY Blues  BrothersMargarete Schmidt (r.), 77, und Lothar Wischnewski 76  AUGUST CabaretMartha Bajohr, 77  SEPTEMBER GiantJoanna Trachenberg, 81, und Horst Krischat, 78  OCTOBER Saturday Night FeverIrmgard Alt, 79, und Siegfried Gallasch, 87  NOVEMBER Dirty  DancingJohann Liedtke, 92 und Marianne Pape, 79 DECEMBER Easy  RiderWalter Loeser, 98 und Kurt Neuhaus, 90

‘Growing old’ is mandatory,

‘growing up’ is optional !!

AND AS THEY SAY IN THE CLASSICS …

If you haven’t grown up by the time you are FIFTY

then you damn well don’t have to !!!!
