Laughter

What a joy to have Lise and her three teenagers in our house. We have laughed so hard that tears ran down our faces.

Just a few minutes ago we were playing a new card game, Scrabble Slam. The dealer selects a four-letter word (G-rated). Each player tries to be the first to change the word by playing a card on top of one of the letters.

At one point Lise was talking about the game. Gareth was saying that Lise needed to select the word to start the game. I heard Lise say, “Quick”. I told her that she couldn’t use that word. She kept saying it. After the tears ran down my face, I finally understood that she was explaining to Rayna that it was a quick game. From there the four of us cracked up.

I will miss them when they leave.
