A Sense of Humor


I love looking around and finding things to giggle about.
Today, I celebrate The Funny,
with two funnies for you.

While going for a walk with my grandson, Trey,
I came across this backyard.
We can upon this while going down a back ally.


 Garden Humor at it's finest!!


I have been collecting signs that show 
a sense of humor.

This church has a new sign almost every week.
I'll probably be showing you more in a later post, I'm sure.
(Tom loves to shop at Costco)

 I spotted this sign, the last time I visited Boise.

So until later...
enjoy a giggle or two.

  2. Cute post! I love reading church signs too. The one at the Methodist Church across the street says "We are open between Easter and Christmas".

    I didn't know all those things about laughter. But it makes sense. Hope you have a good laugh today.

  3. I can tell that laughter does me a world of good and can absolutely change my outlook and attitude. I like to expose myself to people who have a good sense of humor or outlook often when mine is a little down. Good post.

  4. LOL! That church sign is a hoot! I love Costco, too (though we hardly ever get to go, the nearest is in Dallas). The baseball & glove are great creativity! And, yes... I needed a good laugh this morning... Our little Roo turned two yesterday and we had to celebrate by Facetime... Just makes my heart sad. Thank you for the lift. blessings ~ tanna

  5. Laughter is good medicine, so says the Bible, and that's good enough for me. I love to laugh, especially at myself, although I'm probably not nearly as funny as I think I am.

  7. I loved these. I'm a huge fan of laughter. Lately, I need an extra dose. I'm struggling with some pain, and I really and truly believe that laughter is great medicine.

    I am proactively looking for it.
