Ready? Set!

“Puddle jumping, signing books

Joy lurks in all the nooks

Caped crusader takes the stage

Puddles are fun at any age!”

Saturday sounds like it will be lots of fun. Instead of attending I’ll be at the beach. 🏖️ May this day, and all days, be filled with Joy!

This is brilliant Gary!! I'm smiling ear to ear. Bravo. Enjoy the beach and can't wait to fill you on on the book launch. I'm making Protein Power Balls for the treat. :) LOL (we need a sense of humor these days)

One of my favorite verbs is mudpuddling.

A great reason to have kids is that you get to keep doing it!

I'm SO HAPPY that my hard copy of the book arrived today - a day ahead of the bookseller's scheduled delivery! It's absolutely terrific to have it in my hands as well as in my Kindle library. 🙌

I think “Splash and Laugh” is the only way to travel through life. We must jump in the mud, make mistakes, figure it out and laugh at ourselves as we continue to move forward ❗️Yes Jules, many wonderful submissions and comments. Enjoy your weekend…

You could go literal with something like, "Rainy Day," or figurative. So many choices, but it's a sweet little poem.
