Serenity Now: fountain

Summer Favorite

For Carin's latest challenge of something you love doing in the summer, I was at The Gateway today for a class and passed the fountain. I couldn't resist pulling out my camera and taking some pictures of the kids playing in the water.

I wanted to get some closer shots but as these aren't my kids (I was alone) and I didn't want to be mistaken for a creepy person with a camera. I also remembered Carin saying she was kicked out of Gateway for looking like a professional photographer so I didn't want to look too conspicuous.

When I was growing up though I loved anything to do with water... swimming, sprinklers, fountains, playing in the rain etc.

Oh to be a kid again....

Robin's Rules

An old friend of mine called into question why the name robinsrules in my html (actually he called me a geek). I suppose I should explain. He read it as Robin rules versus Robin's rules and I merely omitted the apostrophe when creating the html. There are certain rules that make me happy like ...

1. keep my husband close by because he makes me laugh even when I don't feel like it, ( and if he can't - call my sisters)

2. pay attention to nature because it helps me be peaceful,

3. always remember to pray and be grateful because then I'm nicer to my kids (and they'll thank me for it!)

4. take lots of pictures of my boys because when I look at their pictures I more easily forgive them when they break the t.v., take pizza from the fridge in the middle of the night, punch or bite each other, or hide chocolate bars and other candy under the couches to eat later - true stories - Serenity now.
