Smiles, Giggles and Laughter...

After I finished writing my latest post I thought back to when I created this blog, way back on April 10, 2011 I published my first post. Now 970 blog posts later, completely ignoring this space for years, I have returned to this page. Thinking back 2011 was a stressful time for me. My sweetie was still living at home, failing fast with Alzheimers, my mother who had been living with us had passed away the previous November, I was apart from my friends and activities, but blogging, along with photography was a savior to me.  Kind of like I am today. The circumstances are totally different, but not really.  Blogging was a stress reliever for me back in 2011 and now in 2020 it's emerged once again to be a repeat performance of stress relief. I hope each of you has found something, anything to relieve the tension that has become a daily dose.  If I had young children now and had to be responsible for helping them learn at home, the scene would be a complete failure.

However, along with the tension and stress there has been some outloud giggles and laughter. I have collected some of these "funnies" I have seen posted on Facebook and want to share them with you and maybe you can laugh outloud or at least put a smile on your face. But I gotta admit that the absolutely funniest one I've seen and can't post are the pictures of honest to god folks and their inventive means of protecting themselves. Now if you can, picture this....woman in grocery store with a party hat strapped around her head as protection for her mouth and nose, pointy and colorful, another lady totally wrapped in plastic, not sure how she was breathing, and the man paying the grocery cashier with a paper bag over his head, a black garbage bag over his arms and torso, plastic packing wrapped around his legs, trying to get money out of his wallet with yellow plastic gloves as protection for his hands all the while the cashier is trying really really hard not to laugh at him. And finally the lady at Home Depot with a zippered plastic blanket container over her head with the clerk again probably trying very hard not to laugh, not to mention the lady on the motorcycle with her bags of groceries hanging from the handle bars with a kitchen sponge wrapped around her face, you know one of those yellow sponges with the green scrubber on the backside. At least she had the scrubber part facing out. You gotta give them credit, just trying to protect themselves.

I've also read these funnies....

If you see my kids 

crying outside and

picking weeds just

keep on driving.

They're on a field trip.

Warning:

Wear your mask at home.

This is not to avoid the

virus, it's to avoid the

constant eating.

Does anyone know if we can

take showers yet or should

we just keep washing our hands?

Remember when we were little and had

underwear with the days of the week

on them? Yah. Those would be

helpful right now.

Home schooling question:

Does having your children fix you mixed

cocktails count as chemistry?

Gwenyth Paltrow said in an interview we should take

this time to learn a  new language or write a book.

I just shook chip crumbs out of my bra & I don't know

what day it is. I'm fairly certain I'm not going

to attempt either of these things.

Ran out of toilet paper and now

using lettuce leaves. Today was just

the tip of the iceburg, tomorrow romaines

to be seen.

Anyone else's car getting 3 weeks 

to the gallon at the moment?

Stepped on my scale this morning and it

said: Please use social distancing,

one person at a time. 

Remember when you wished the

weekend would last forever?

You happy now!?!?

First time in history:

We can save the human race by

lying in front of the TV 

and doing nothing.

Let's not screw this up.

And finally, Steve Krasinski from "The Office" and Prime Video's "Jack Ryan" has a youtube video entitled Some Good News with John Krasinski...check it out on youtube, it will definitely make you smile.  In the search box type in Some Good News and it will pop up for your enjoyment.

Until next time, stay safe, stay well,
