still walking and waking: gated community

gated community

Zoralee and I like to watch "Silly Songs with Larry" occasionally. This gated community one really tickles me, perhaps because we temporarily live in one ourselves. Unfortunately, the people here don't get together for trios and quartets. If they did, or even if they opened their window shades from time to time, it'd be a lot more fun.

My mom secretly took this cell phone picture of us catching some rays in the back of the pickup - keepin' it real in our gated community.

lori said...: Yes, it is, Shana! She loves to play back there with one or two toys and a snack. I love for her to be getting sun time, and I know she won't get run over. It's awesome.; January 2, 2011 at 4:56 PM
Anonymous said...: The girls really appreciated that. Do the folks in your gated community wear polo shirts and khaki pants?! Oh the upper echelon of society living behind the gates! Probably more like prison huh?; January 2, 2011 at 8:46 PM

When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
when doubt no longer exists for you,
then go forward with courage.
So long as mists envelop you, be still.
Be still until the sunlight pours through
and dispels the mists --
as it surely will.
Then act with courage.

Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.
