Yep — that’s it. From a playground in the Leon region.

Kelly, thank you for the translation. That makes perfect sense. I was being too literal with “roulez.”

Lovely! While I recognize the importance of outdoor play and exploring nature with my kids, Bethe is among the friends with whom I enjoy sharing the joy of those experiences. Thanks, Grass Stain Guru, for helping to keep the community connected. Happy day! –Kelly

P.S. Heather, I believe the sign message is “Think of us. Drive carefully.”

Bethe, I think you brought up an excellent point: “Blogging is work, plain and simple.” While I think most of us will readily acknowledge the truth of that statement, I’m not sure how much newer blogers realize it. When I started, I had no idea how much work it would be! Sometimes I’m still overwhelmed by it. But I do have fun with it.
What a great profile, Wren. Thanks for introducing me to another great member!

Oh, before I forget, can anyone (Bethe?) translate from the French what is written on the sign in the second photo? I know some French, but I can’t really make sense out of it. Based on where the image is placed in the interview, I would guess that the sign is encouraging kids to play “carefully,” but that is purely a guess. Thanks!

I love Bethe and what she does – I’m always happy to hear what she has to say. Great interview. It was fun reading, but there’s also a seriousness to getting kids, and adults out playing in nature. Yay for grass stains and dirt under the fingernails!

What a great interview! I love what you said about children having grass stains! I think adults should have them too! A long time ago I wrote a poem about this, Please Step on the Grass, which follows with please roll on the grass, etc.
