My friends and I are at an age where sometimes the roof caves in - we have personal health decisions to make or a parent suddenly needs our care or a friend hits the wall and needs help getting back up. Several of my friends in the neighborhood are dealing with such things, and I struggle with how to help. Of course, a listening ear, a home-cooked meal, or childcare is always on the list.
But, since laughter is apparently the best medicine, I would like to offer some things that have made me happy. Maybe they won't elicit a smile at first, but when someone needs to lighten the darkness, I hope they'll bookmark these gems.

Until next time, keep crowin'!
