“Love and Laughter” | Grandma’s Stories

Nov 20th “Love and Laughter”

“Do you like to LAUGH?” “When you are home with your family – do you all LAUGH together?” “When you were a little child – with or without brothers and sisters – did you hear your parents say and do funny things – so often – that you were always glad to be at home – where so “FUN” took place?

Well, that’s the way we were when we were all together! So much of the time – that we were doing something and something half-way silly would be said – something else – just as funny and half-way adding to what we would be doing or something that was said – added more laughter – and so often – as I was growing older – “I almost that the “ROOF” on the house would raise so high – up and above the room that we were in – just from all the “HOT HEAT” of Laughter!

“Did you ever find that when you were in one of these – “Hearty Laughter” sessions – that before you knew it – you were in tears – that you were just “LAUGHING” too hard!?” It takes a hack of a lot of strength – to really enjoy laughing and – so intent on hearing more silly stuff – that you almost thought that if continue – you just might fall apart? You get to feeling that you state to – stop yourself – or else you will just bust – you are now getting too weak?

Well, lots of years later – when I had children of my own – I noticed that when my father and mother would be over for a visit – here we go again! On several occasions – we all gather together between the “FAMILY ROOM” and “KITCHEN” – and something would be said and someone would pick up on what was said – and before you knew it – we were “Laughing” so hard – it was just like the good old days – of my youth!

This is where a “LIGHT BULB” turned on! I was much older and my MOM and DAD – were no “spring Chickens” either – and just all good things in “LIFE” all good things sooner or later have to come to an end – and end of all the good times – so I will “TAPE” without anyone knowing that – everything will be said in a natural and their original ordinary ways – just as always! Lucky – I was to be able to get 3 or 4 tapes

“TIME and TIDE wait for no man… and then I was LUCKY to receive grand-children – and the tape recorder was working saving their young voices and some of their first words – which to me is “PRICELESS!”

So – for one “Thanksgiving” while we were all gather together – I played some of the old tapes of My FATHER and MOTHER – and had another tape on – recording what was said – everybody just loved hearing voices of the “ANCESTORS” that they never met – but with the help of recording their voices a long time before – we had “MEMORIES” to share – and will be able to do this – for a very long time.

“LOVE and LAUGH” with your Children – today and forever!
