Thou Shalt Laugh

This evening is when my granddaughter attempts to earn a chair with the flutes in her school band next year. These photos are of her being shown by her aunt how to hold it, how to place her fingers and how to blow into it to get sound. She was actually able to get a pretty good tone to come out of it! Please say a little prayer she makes it. Not only will it make her happy but we won't have to purchase another instrument right now!

The other night while flipping channels on late night television, I stopped to watch the end of a Christian comedian show called "Thou Shalt Laugh," hosted by Patricia Heaton, lead actress in Everybody Loves Raymond. I laughed so hard I woke my dozing hubby. I was trying to be quiet but I think the bed was shaking as my suppressed laughter turned into snorts. I did some research and found out that the show is available on DVD. Since I missed the beginning, I may see if I can rent it or buy it. One of the comedians was poking fun at people who state the obvious when you push on a door that should be pulled to open. "You gotta pull," a voice comes from behind you. "Thanks, my second choice was going to be to try to lift it from the bottom!" I hope you are at least smiling right now, because that's funny. Sarcastic, yes, but funny.

I chaperoned my granddaughter's fifth grade field trip to the museum and IMAX theater yesterday. It was fun watching her interact with her friends. Fifth graders are so interesting. They flop back and forth, trying to act grown up but the kid in them keeps surfacing. I rode down with three moms and really enjoyed it. I'm ever so grateful they wouldn't let us ride the bus with the kids. That may have been a little bit too much! May God bless teachers!

Genesis 21:6 And Sarah said, "God has made laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh with me."
