Side-By-Side

One thing people keep asking me after hearing of all the bad news around here... "Lois, how do you manage to keep a sense of humor?"

If you've been wondering the same, just look below. They make me smile, they fill my heart and they give me plenty to laugh about/at/with. Sure this summer sucked, no doubt, but look how lucky I am.




Lane 2 and Mr. Lane, craziest monkeys at the zoo.





Even the real monkeys couldn't help but laugh!




Sure, Mr. Lane is "gay" sometimes.




But he can even make a lion laugh.





And an Asian looking mountain goat. "Oh! Dat so funny Mr. Rane! You make me raugh."





He is a real friend to all the animals.




Sometimes friendship goes a little too far.




Something perverted was said, you can tell by their smiles.




They flock to his magnetic personality.


I also enjoyed the REAL animals while at the zoo. Here's a few of my favorites.



Dust bunny?




Making out, not just for teenagers anymore.




I love this face!




And this one!




I especially love this face. Even the funny guy gets sleepy. Here's my old man taking a nap on the porch.




What's really under his hat? His loyal dog.

Today I run off singing, "Oh we ain't got a barrel of...money. Maybe we're ragged and...funny. But we'll travel along, singin' a song...side-by-side."
