These Made Me Laugh

I am just getting too emotional in my old age. First I cry for Owen Meany, then I laugh at these sweet little faces. The woman from Kelly Services who got me all those great assignments at BAH wrote to ask if I would come back for 4 days with my favorite VP. Uh, nope. But say, how's your little Joseph? They went to a farm in Herndon and Joseph's father put him on this little tractor. Their friend snapped this picture at the moment when he realized that he was about to slide off. Don't worry, no babies were harmed for this picture, Dad was there to stop the fall.

All I know is that that perfect O of a mouth speaks volumes. I thought I was done with this day's laughs until I read my niece's blog and saw this picture of Maggie.

This is from casual picture day. Maggie loves her new headband and wanted to share it with posterity. She shoots, we score. Not a wallflower where pictures are concerned. Love her silly little heart and her ability to make me laugh.

As for me, I opened an old fortune cookie that said I would do something different tomorrow (today). I asked myself, what would Karen do? She spends a lot of her days working in her garden. I don't have any sour grass to pull or good vegetables to plant. All I have is a little over-grown patio. So I spent the morning whacking bushes. That's different.
