Laugh Often

Hey I have spent so much time today laughing. First I got all these jokes from friends. Usually I delete but today I had to read the mail, then I forwarded them to each of you. Do read them as my computer has already scanned twice for bugs.
Then I got Kens photo for the party. Now that was priceless. Ken, congratulations, you go guy, and keep having fun. Your Dad would have done the same thing and laughed at himself too.
I went to class although I did not feel like it but glad I did. Those ladies are such great friends. I spent most of the day being lazy and playing with my plate, I was supposed to be painting not playing, I then started a boot, with roses on the toe. One of the ladies gave me a kiln, she brought it over after class, so now I can fire my own small stuff. That will be great, she said it will be like a gift when you open the kiln and realize there is a gift that you created waiting for you.
Now to learn how to use it.
Now to add to my day, I just talked to my Older son on line. Charles you really don't realize just how much we love you. God, some days are so hard knowing it has been a year since we saw that big smile of yours. You were my first baby and you always will be. You stole my heart the first time I knew you were growing in my tummy. My 17 year old tummy. LOL So you may say we grew up together. Then came the little piece of sunshine we called Ken, He was so cute and had this amazing smile. He was an awful lot like Ceylum is now. Wandered around smiling and ignored you if he chose. Ceylum is quiet like Ken was. Your dad and I remarked on that, after we were there a few weekends ago. Brought back lots of memories.
Next came the princess. Yes I know you boys thought we treated her like one but look around you, Each child has special needs and you try to find that need and nourish it. Sheri had to be kept busy, she looked for her outlets, I can still picture her on the swing set, with her finger in her mouth, sound asleep. I would pick her up and take her to her bed, she was 3 or 4 years old, That old tetter totter always put her to sleep. Later that swing set became her jungle gym, she spent more time hanging upside down that rightside up.
So today I am just reminiscing.

Ken's costume is great! I would be so self concious like that. I just don't like to draw too much attention to myself (Okay Charles and Ken...shut up NOW! LOL).

Have fun reminiscing. I do it all of the time.

Mike and I were laughing all of the way into town the other day about playing games at Christmas with Ken and Kris. Mike said he still just laughs at the thought of Ken humming a song.
