"A good laugh is sunshine in a house."  

~William Makepeace Thackeray

We've had both in the last week:

Sunshine pouring in through our windows on the south side of the house, and a girl who loves to do math while sitting in the sunshine in the floor of my room.

And laughter.  As friends and SITAG colleagues dropped in to share "Taco Tuesday" and spend the night.  As a former teacher, Aunt Martha is always teaching kids (and adults) new things, and the after supper conversation turned into researching snowflakes and creating some beautiful, as well as hilarious, designs.
