She is also a practical jokester and I often am the happy recipient of many pranks. For instance, I will set down a glass of water, turn around to do something, then turn back around and wonder where my water has gone... and then wander around the kitchn looking for it, as she giggles silently around the corner.Daphnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394393707234499156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364669902775880430.post-26167600624036977872009-09-18T00:43:33.354-07:002009-09-18T00:43:33.354-07:00Hi Emily & Kerry - thanks for commenting.

He flew out of his seat in just enough time to catch me as I flew off... I love remembering that (not only does it make me laugh, its metaphor for his being there).<br /><br />Just love that your husband set those socks up just to make you laugh. Hmmm...could there be...a happy place for lost socks, a place with no stinky feet to cover, a place that "not lost socks" pine for...<br /><br />Thanks for a great funny Barbara and a reminder to keep finding the funnies (or like your hubby, make the funnies).Kerryhttp://www.lemon-aideonline.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364669902775880430.post-85680445009235558572009-09-12T14:55:34.302-07:002009-09-12T14:55:34.302-07:00I'm lucky enough to have a husband who makes m...I'm lucky enough to have a husband who makes me laugh everyday. It's either some funny link sent along or just his own hilariousness... I'm really glad to have married someone who makes me laugh. Otherwise, like you said, it's easy to get bogged down and sad when you're in pain!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17136475934858797611noreply@blogger.com
