Quotes and a Verse on Joking and Laughter...

Hi everyone and happy Sunday to you all! Sorry I disappeared

for a couple of days. I was in bed with a wicked stomach bug.

I think I have only missed posting a couple of times in the past

couple of years, except for Saturdays. Sometimes I take those

off. So please do return daily and see what I have new for you!

I'm feeling a bit better this morning, so I am able to bring some

quotes to you. Hope you enjoy them! Val =)
