When I looked at our backyard Sunday morning … all of the Saturday rain had turned it into a frozen mess of bumpy, dirty icicles spewed all over in random patterns.

It looked like God had been violently ill all over out there – YUCK!!!

Back in the house, I whined to myself about not having a mousepad for my new laptop and using a napkin as a mousepad.

Ever have one of those days where you just need a good laugh to feel better about life in general?

I have friends with terrific senses of humor so I know where to go to find a smile or a belly laugh or just a complete general attitude adjustment like today!

My son as a little boy LOVED to attend family funerals. He loved seeing all the family and getting to talk to all of them and listening to their stories. He enjoyed going even though he was sad that someone died – he really appreciated the living relatives left behind!

I am sure that some people would not appreciate funeral humor but it makes me smile and remember a little boy visiting happily with all his aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents all at the same time in the same place. I hope he has a wake for me when I die to enjoy the family togetherness too!
