Laughter. My sides ache. How can sorting pictures with the poohs make us laugh so hard? If I told you what we were laughing at, you wouldn’t even smile!
O.K. I’ll tell you.
My husband likes to take plenty pictures of each occasion. When the 4-H club lined up to smile at his camera after the roadside pick-up, he only took five pictures—all of them the same. Well, not quite. My son moved in each one. He was holding a bucket and as we clicked through each one the bucket was the only thing we noticed to have moved! When we looked closer, he was 1st putting on his hat, then putting on his gloves, and finally standing posed for the picture. The rest of the 4-Hers all looked the same in each photo.
We laughed. We chortled. We guffawed. We held our sides and cried… Whew!
Fast forward to this afternoon when my daughter and I were getting ready for our piano duet. Now we have not practiced much, so we were almost sight-reading. Dear Hubby in Wisc. wandered in to listen and said, “I think there must be some right notes in there.” I asked him if he could tell what we were playing. He said no. Pretty sad when the song was Silent Night, right? We tried again. When the page was turned I started reading from the wrong page and both my daughter and I were playing the same notes! It wasn’t long before we were both laughing too hard to see the page, no less play!
Not every day brings laughter that bubbles out of the soul and into air! Where does it come from?

Hubby in Wisconsin and Orion--the cat we call Wanabe because he says, "I wanabe an inside cat."

One of my most favorite things in the whole world is a good laugh! I like to be with people who make me laugh and who think I am one funny girl....and I make them giggle too!
I just love to laugh with my children. I don't think there is anything sweeter!
A kiss is the only thing that can surpass a belly laugh!
Joy and laughter go hand in hand, true...well then the angels know all about laughter :o)
