Come sun....please....

When the weather is dreary, dull and cold, this is the kind of stuff that makes you laugh harder than necessary.


But then your brother in law throws a surprise party for his lovely wife and you have another reason to go out and laugh.

Then another brother in law makes you smile because he still refuses to eat his peas.

THEN, the sun comes out and everything looks a little better and brighter.

Your daughter puts it well when she see the flowers bloom for the first time and exclaims "this is the best day of my life!"

Then there are days of real warm weather and everyone is enjoying it.

Bike rides,

walks and wagon rides,

birds fly north to proclaim the coming of spring,

love is all around.

Baseball too.

But all that play in the sun can make you tired. So you catch a few winks BEFORE your son's cello concert.

Or you take silly pictures of you and your goofy daughter.

Then you catch your son on stage, setting up and try not to squeal with delight that he is sitting right in front of you on stage.

You also try not to laugh as he feigns seriousness while he waits for the program to start.

But you do beam with pride when he starts to play.
