What Makes You Giggle?

By
My son has an apartment. He moved out several years ago. Like most sons, he grew to be taller than his mom and likes to have fun with that. 

 He also has a contagious laugh. Seriously, he could get anyone to laugh. 

 What is his inspiration? None other than his favorite comic book collection. He gave me permission to share this small representation:



Dear Calvin and Hobbs, 

 You did what we thought and often still think. Too bad, we can't get away with the things you do.


Dear Pearls Before Swine, 

 You remain my son's favorite. Why? 





Dear Dilbert,

 You captured the true nature of my office setting more than you'll ever know! 
Dear Fox Trot,

 You tell the secrets of the American family. Why is it funny when it happens to you?







Friend, What makes you giggle? Do you have a favorite comic series? Perhaps a comedy team like Three Stooges? Take a memory trip to your favorite one and enjoy a laugh today.

It's fun seeing your son's comic collection. My son collected all things Garfield...books, cards, stuffed Garfields, you name it. As for what makes me laugh, I'd have to say Carol Burnett. I never missed her shows. Saw her recently on TV and she's still hilarious.

Carol did have a keen sense of humor. Loved the signal she gave her mom at the end of each show. She was a talented comedian.

My children have drawn me into the technological version of humor. Now when I want (or need) a dose of humor, I visit a website that posts funny auto-corrections. I also love memes and teen quotes. These one-liners often have my family pegged, and when we share one after the other after the other, we're all in giggles.

Totally! My teen finds memes and laughs so hard. When she finally stops she shows them to us and starts laughing all over. Great times!

Hi, Mary!

Enjoyed viewing your son's comic book collection! I haven't looked at comic books recently, but have never seen any of these comic books - are they sold at magazine stands?

I'm not a comedic fan of current movies, or tv shows, & seldom watch a movie more than once - but, have watched Turner & Hooch, several times, because it makes me laugh. Children, & animals, make me laugh - also the humor of Liz Curtis Higgs, & Julie Lessman.

Fabulous Friday Feature-Candace Calvert

Today we welcome author:  Candace Calvert To win a copy of Candace's new release: By Your Side Scroll to the end of the post  to see how to get your copy. Mary Vee here. One of my absolute favorite classes at ACFW this last year was the medical fiction class. That wasn't the real title, I can't remember what snazzy name the instructors gave it--BUT three stellar medical professionals, who are also Christian Fiction writers, presented great information then opened the time for questions. We students asked them all kinds of questions like what kind of poison would kill a ..., and tons of other questions. It was sooooo much fun, and informative.     I asked Candace, who was one of those fabulous teachers, to join us and share  how God has led her on her writing journey. Here is what she said: God Gave Me a Wake-up Fall The story won’t surprise folks who hav...

One many of us can relate to. Her post below shows her strength and positive spirit. I'm so happy Andrea is visiting with us today. Pull up a chair, grab your coffee and come chat with Andrea. I asked Andrea to tell us how God led her on her writing journey. Here is what she said:  Romance Done Write I didn’t read much while growing up in my family’s suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin home. I read what I was assigned for school, along with an occasional children’s novel like Pippi Longstocking and Little House in the Big Woods .  When I was in fourth grade, I wrote my first novel, Little Miss Mouse . My mother kept it all these years and it’s now in my possession. I laugh when I read those ten handwritten pages. At the tim...

Fabulous Friday Feature-Lorna Seilstad

By
Today we welcome author: Lorna Seilstad One commenter will win a copy of Lorna's book:  As Love Blooms Scroll down to see how. Mary here. I have quickly learned what an amiable person Lorna is. After only a few emails we've become great friends and found similar things to talk about. You'll see this same spirit in her post below. I asked Lorna to tell us how God led her on her writing journey. Here is what she said:  Excuses! Excuses! Moses and I have a lot in common. Oh, I haven’t led any Egyptians out of bondage, but I have looked at the path God laid out for me and rattled off excuses that would rival those of the great spiritual leader himself. You’re probably familiar with the story. God gets Moses’ attention with a burning bush, and then when He begins to disclose his plans for Moses’ future, the excuses start. ( My paraphrase of the story:) “Moses, I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people ou...
