another fountain

Today at church we had a talk about journals. So I could just say "another talk about journals" and that would sum it up. They are "a good thing and we ought to keep" them would be another good summary of the message. The speaker added that you didn't have to follow good writing rules and implied that you could make up your own "style" in your own journal. So I came home and went in and corrected the "journal like" entry I made yesterday improving the grammar a little. I didn't want to have my own style be "poor grammar". That said I suspect that I have my share of poor grammar show when I write.

A few years back I read the book "As I lay Dying" by Faulkner and I really liked how the book sounded when I read it. Just reading the words brings the sound of the words to your mind because they just reflect the culture and the setting of the novel. Some books go on with "he said" and "she said" and others just "say it" with a remarkable accuracy to who would have been doing the "saying".

So as far as this pictures overall meaning today, which in a way is also a journal entry for the day, it goes back to when I was 14 and my sister was 2. I do remember when I was 14. I thought my little sister was pretty cute and I had a soft spot for her. Being able to like and appreciate little girls is pretty easy. This fountain is on Temple Square. As I recall, and I do recall it, we went from one fountain to another that day and she got a drink from them all. I remember that there were a lot of fountains on Temple Square. Lot's has changed since then.

Today is her husband, Gary's, birthday. I should be making an entry on his behalf in honor of his birthday but I figured a picture of his wife at 2 years may touch his heart. I love to see pictures of Kathy when she was a little girl.
