A while back a new neighbor came to town and from the "get go" she has been fun! Do you know those people? I mean..she's the Pied Piper of pleasure....the Grand Poo Bah of Games....the Beat All to end all of Entertainment! And, do you want to know what she decided to do in our dreary little corner of Germany??
And, as routine would have it...the kids were milling around the house last night...bored, cold, tired of the rain and I said, "Get your shorts on!!! Dodgeball at 6:00!!" In unison they all said, "WHAT? WHERE?"....oh, this was going to be fun!
What follows is pure genius...a community comes together in a regular old gym - makes friends - has good old fashioned fun - beats the "what are we going to do on Friday night" blahs - expends an INCREDIBLE amount of energy - and goes home happy. Simple and perfect!
So, here is my question! What is practical in your piece of the world? Is it dodgeball? A sewing class? A little band? A neighborhood play? Running group? Walking group? Cooking class? Foreign language instruction?
How can each of us make our corner of the world a little more fun...a little more happy...and a little more pleasant to be in?
I am going to give this some serious thought today and get back with you! Any ideas YOU have are much appreciated!

Wow, that looks like a lot of fun. For us it is hands down the beach and pool time.
