I keep trying to record my GRANDgirls’ laughter. Their giggles are infectious in the best kind of way, causing me to smile and laugh with them. I’d like to turn their lilting, expressive laughs into a ringtone for my phone. Can you imagine how that sweet sound would catch other people unaware? It would be fun to watch strangers’ faces …
I got together with several writing friends last night. We talked writing, of course. And we also talked about what was going on in our lives. The common theme for all of us? Life was crazy.
