Life is good to me today! I bought a lawn mower and thought I would spend the day tomorrow mowing the lawn but my hubby did it first! Yeah! It's still a little too hot in Phoenix for that. I love this picture. Jeff named it when he grew up. "Deep in thoughts, clown thoughts." What was he thinking? Funny, he did grow up to be a clown! I met a very nice lady at work tonight who asked me the dreaded question. How many kids do you have? I hate that one. I know the answer but hate to have to explain it sometimes. Sometimes I like to just nevermind and pretend like Jeff is still here and not tell them. Is that bad?

No it\'s not bad to \'pretend\', I\'m sure that on some level he is still there with you. Besides, not everybody needs to know everything and I guess there\'s times when the explaining gets too much. I haven\'t had that question yet, but I guess I\'ll deal with it in whatever way feels best at the time. I love the picture... even clowns have deep thoughts! Charlotte.

No it\'s not bad. I always say 5 and sometimes explain and sometimes don\'t. Clown thoughts?? Hmmm I wonder??? Love and hugs Cathy

I have a tough time with that question as well. I\'ve gotten to where I just say I have one and try to change the subject because if I don\'t then they ask more questions. Doesn\'t always work though, does it?
I had to smile at the thought of you getting so excited over a new lawn mower. You must be the one who usually cuts the grass, huh? Love the pic! *Hug* Adrianne

If someone asks I always tell them I have 5 children, because in my heart I still do.

Thank goodness I didn\'t get that question for a long time. Now I simply say I have four sons but one has passed. I\'m waiting to get out the snowblower, the lawnmower is put away. I\'m glad life is good for you today, hope the same for tomorrow, two for two. Love ya Robin

Wow. I could really do some damage with a snow blower.
