grandma's "chuckles" - He Drives Like a Mad-Man!

We recently celebrated the 13th birthday of one of my grandsons - today I'm remembering 12 years ago when I made my husband laugh - not just a smile or a "chuckle", but rather an out-and-out belly-laugh!

Start My Day with Joy!

I get up each morning, Monday through Friday, at 5:30am. While this is a horrible time of day to be up for sure :-), my hubby has to be at work at 7am, so I get up to fix him breakfast. This means each morning one of the first things I see is my refrigerator door . . . which is where I have the birthday present my oldest grandson made for me when he was five years old . . . a book he wrote titled: "Super Josiah Saves Grandma from All The Robot Spiders in History!" Not just from "a" Robot Spider! Not just from "some" Robot Spiders! Not even just from "all the Robot Spiders he sees on a particular day", but from "all the Robot Spiders in HISTORY!!!!" This makes me smile every time I see it, so I always start my day with joy!
