Laughter... is The Best Medicine.


Was flippin' through Memories, this morning.
Friend, Toni, sent the above to me... last year, while Steph, 
{Frond Design Studios} 
and I were in Daytona, for a Quilting Event.
Toni bought the 'Bird Girl' from the Rabbit Hole, several years ago... then, when she... and her Daughter, Sheree... {and Joe} moved to Florida, from Iowa....
 they hauled the Bird Girl... with.
<3
She's Perfect There!! 
She probably enjoys Florida, a little more than Iowa.
; )

Toni, and Sheree... came to visit us, at Daytona, at the Event.
<3
It was Great Seeing Them!!
<3


What a Ride... to Daytona, and back... last year.
: )

Trade Shows... are always a 'Ride'.... it seems!!
: )
Steph, and I... often talk about the Many... 'Adventures'.
: )

Was on the phone yesterday, with Government Folks who were returning my calls, from the day before.
Grateful... to them for getting back, so quickly.
; )

Those Folks... are So Incredibly Knowledgeable...  concerning their Jobs.
WOW!!
They can draw Straight lines from Point 'A' to Point 'B'... just as they are written in the books.
the problem is...
They... are Engineers, and Specialists... in their Fields.
me...
I'm a 'Mad Hatter'.
: )
{we have a bit of a 'communication gap'.
They were So Patient with me... God Bless 'em!! }

I... don't always 'color' inside the 'lines'.
: )
nor... do I always see the 'picture', from a book's perspective.
I see our picture... with feet on the ground, first hand.
It's those gray areas... that seem to get overlooked, in the 'Books'...
 those Gray Areas...
 seem to get us into
'Trouble'.
: (

Time will tell.
Told them I'd be back in touch... in the next few months, when we have a little more data.
: )



Have had many 'Crash Courses'... over the last several years... tho.
; )
oh.... dear.




Scary... scary.
; )




Needed to See This...
this morning.
<3

Heading to The Rabbit Hole, today.
Gonna Try... to pick up the pieces, once again.
It's been Such a Struggle going there.
It's difficult to explain.
Told my Pals, the other day...
it's like my feet are stuck in cement.
: (



Needed to see the Above, too.
<3
It's one of my Favorites.
<3
So...Incredibly True.
<3 <3 <3 




Yesterday would've been Mom's 104th. Birthday.
<3 <3 <3 
Rose Marie { Dvorak} Conner
February 21, 1920 -
March 20, 2014.

Can't believe she's been gone a decade.



Sure Do Miss Her!!
<3
Especially... Miss Mom's Laugh!!!
Hahahahaha!!!
: )
We could be in the middle of some of The Very Worst Situations, 
a Mom, and Daughter... could be,
then...
somehow, either... I'd make a Big Joke, about it, or... She Would!!
: ) : ) : )
We'd Get to Laughin' So Hard!!
Oh My!!!
Hahahahahahaha!!!
We'd Both Be Out of AIR.... Breathless... and Crying!!!
Hahahahahahaha!!!!
: ) : ) : )

Sometimes..... in The Worst of Times...
in...
the most difficult, and uncomfortable...
 situations...
Ya Gotta Let 'Humor'... Take Over!!
: ) : ) : )
If you're gonna shed tears, in those 'situations'...
 They'd Better Be From Laughter, 
in my opinion.
; )
Mom's Too.
<3
{Madness!!}
: )

Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.

Barb C.

{Just recalling some of those awful... 'situations', this morning....
that ultimately turned into Breathless Belly Laughs... had me laughin' again.}
<3 <3 <3
