Mornings with Danny and Laura on 91.5 CKPR

I have a favorite spot in my house that I was drawn to last night before I went to bed. It's in the area between the kitchen and the living room.

There are two bookshelves full of pictures in boxes and in albums, framed pictures of the kids, our parents, their weddings, our wedding, memorabilia from trips with the family and books...there are also a bunch of what some may look at as knick knacks, but what we see as memories. A glass Cinderella, a snowglobe with Mickey Mouse, to remind us of our trip to Disney. A piece of art Victoria created in her first year of University, pictures of Kayla's two little men, flowers pressed into books that Matthew gave me. It's an area alive with memories and I love going there to revisit all the experiences we've shared.

I got to thinking about this when I was going through and getting rid of some stuff in our house. A lot of people enjoy the minimalist style, which is really great because everything is neat and clean. But I also think we need to keep something of ourselves out to remind us how good life really is.


FUNNIEST JOKE OF ALL TIME!!! (according to Danny)

A guy fell asleep on the beach for several hours and got horrible sunburn, specifically to his upper legs.

He went to the hospital and was promptly admitted after being diagnosed with second degree burns.

With his skin already starting to blister, and the severe pain he was in, the doctor prescribed continuous intravenous feeding with saline electrolytes, a sedative and a Viagra pill every four hours.

The nurse, who was rather astounded asked, "What good will Viagra do for him doctor"?

The doctor replied, "It won't do anything for his condition, but it'll keep the sheets off his legs!
