Singing in the rain

Daily Prompt: Singin’ in the Rain
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/06/15/daily-prompt-rain/

I m singing in the Rain, I m just signing in the Rain, and whatever it takes, I m happy again !

When we were children and teenagers, my sister and I use to spend one month at our grandparents in Florida.

Imagine 2 little girls coming from Paris landing in Miami, storming in their grandparents arms, and crying of happiness as it had been one year since the last time we were in there arms.

For us it was happiness freedom, cosyness, warmth of heart, poetry ( our grandma loves writing poetry and she s great at it, nice routine. we were spoiled with small things, food we loved and could not find in France ( kisses, Oreo cookies, chicken noodle Campbell soup and also the fresh one made by grandpa and grandma, meatloaf, cauliflower soup made by them as well).

We had certain freedom and quiet life we did not have in Paris, going to the swimming pool everyday ( they were living in a retirement community).

And the July rain, warm and so nice…
We used to sing, jump, laugh, and dance under it, running back socking wet…

We also loved to do Jump in the pool and swim under the water while it was poring warm water. Delicious, but dangerous as the first thing you should do is stay again from the pool not to be electrified by a lightning. ( Take my word for it but don t do it…).

Nice memories.

Since then, I feel joyful signing in the rain like Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire ….

About Hopeje

It’s all about love, life, and the pursuit of happiness. I’m a French-American woman from Paris — born with a suitcase in hand and a heart open to adventure. I’ve always been drawn to the vibrant energy of New York and Miami, visiting every year for a few weeks to recharge on their rhythm, sunshine, and sense of freedom. Who would have thought that life would take me to Luxembourg — where I would find, lose, and find myself again? There, I met the love of my life, built a family with three wonderful children, and traveled… endlessly. (Let’s not forget our loyal dog, who became part of our journey in 2013, and our second furry companion who joined us nearly three years ago!) From Paris to New York, Luxembourg to Miami — traveling has become our middle name. What I love most is discovering the poetry and energy of life wherever I go: architecture, people, customs, places, and the unique atmosphere that makes each encounter unforgettable. Life is a story of movement, emotion, and discovery. Let’s keep exploring, dreaming, and savoring every moment. PS: All content on this blog is shared with pleasure — but it is not free of rights.
