The craziest things can bring me joy. Today we were getting ready for bed when he heard crazy crashing sounds. Upon investigation we discovered that a family picture had fallen from the wall for now apparent reason. The frame had just given out. It had dropped and slid to the bottom of the stairs. The funny part came when Trent later discovered that the frame had fallen on the railing and broke it. It had actually broken the brackets that hold the railing up - completely sheered them off. It can be fixed tomorrow. I found it so out of the norm of possibilities. It is quite mind boggling. We laughed and laughed. Joy! Buddy didn’t think it was too joyful. He coward in the corner terrified.

They are a great source of joy. Now I eagerly await her text saying she has made it home.
