    LOL...I was just going through one of my vintage pic files and came across the miserable looking clown pic - thought sheesh this is a sad looking bunch! Then I come here to see what revelry you have posted today, and see the same pic! Either I am being haunted by sad clowns this weekend, or 'great minds', etc.

    Hello Tristan - you have a smile post too! TY for visiting. My life just gets more and more interesting, which means less posting.

    I must say though, I do think clowns are creepy and am glad to read the comments and see I'm not the only one. My son even does clowning sometimes, doesn't change my opinion, still creepy. He did NOT get that tendancy from me!

    Would you do me a favor and use my entry for someone who resonates with you, please? I'd like to offer a little love out to the universe♥

    Take care, J
