When our laughter had run its course, I said, "Sometimes you just have to have a good laugh." He said, "That's what my mom says. She says, 'What is life without a little laughter?'" Isn't that a wonderful thing to tell your children?Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134040229227913313.post-26846889862924779322019-01-03T22:55:58.512-05:002019-01-03T22:55:58.512-05:00Hi, Peggy :-) Another family that plays board game...Hi, Peggy :-) Another family that plays board games together, yay! Love hearing that...<br /><br />Hope you do make progress on your goals this year. Even if they aren't met in full, it's fun to try--and to look back and see how many were actually achieved. Probably more than we realized!<br /><br />Always great to hear from you. Thanks so much for your wishes, too :-)Kenda Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12972218446945404475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134040229227913313.post-77717865055004492952019-01-03T15:39:26.191-05:002019-01-03T15:39:26.191-05:00My family plays board games - always lots of fun w...My family plays board games - always lots of fun when the grandchildren put aside their electronic devices and play with us! As you say, laughter is a very good thing.<br /><br />I do set goals, both personal and related to my writing. Whether I'll manage to keep them is another matter. Guess that remains to be seen!<br /><br />Thank you for the good-will wishes. The same to you, Kenda, for a very happy and successful New Year!Peggy Harkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606792382935763886noreply@blogger.com
