Just For Laughs

Yesterday was such a good day.  George is not only the bringer of goodies (always including cookies for Michael), he is a raconteur and I was oh-so-ready for a laugh.  Sitting on the porch at the obligatory distance, he told stories about his three eccentric uncles that made my relatives seem positively dull.  We delved a bit into our histories and got to know each other better.  Michael, like any kid, got bored with the grownups' talk and asked to go into the house.

Before he left, I asked George to look under the hood while I started Truck to see if there were any sparks because I can't do both at once.  There were none!  George took a thorough look at all the wiring, cables, and other guy-things kept there (I wouldn't know a solenoid if it fell on my foot) and proclaimed Truck safe and ready to roll.  What a relief.  Evidently Truck had just had a cranky morning.  He sure had pushed my panic button and had me jumping through hoops.  I was jumping for joy after George's checkup.

In the afternoon I had a call from one of my sons who has been having some health issues.  I got the lowdown on that, and then we had time to play catch-up and do some reminiscing and had us laughing at shared memories.

Yep, it was a good day.

Stay safe.  Be well.
