- A baby shower in which the mom and dad opened gifts together. I complimented him on his pink shirt (to match the baby girl motif) and he pulled up his trousers to show me he was wearing pink argyle socks, too.
- Book group meeting on The Burgess Boys* by Elizabeth Strout (all agreed - a good read). The hostess has an immaculate home, but an embroidered pillow makes me smile. It reads: "My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance." Quote from Erma Bombeck.

I like that quote : ) And I agree with your idea of decadence- reading a good book on a rainy day-perfect!
Like that quote from Erma! Very good. Hope your week swims on by and makes you happy, Lynn! Your deck looks fun!
lg!
I always love to see your angel on the deck.
Guess we're wishing for a girl this time around.
Erma Bombeck's quotes never let us down. She is truly one who is missed. Her book speaking to children on death is excellent.
A glance. I love it!
Loved Erma. She really knew what was important in life.
Raining days and book reading are best friends. :)
It probably takes a more than few glances to sweep this house, but I like it. Rather a lot.
Reading and rainy days are a perfect match.
Now, if you are finished with it, could you send some rain over here? Please?
If I read a book every time it rained here in the UK I'd be reading hundreds a month! :D
Lovely quote.
I wasn't sure how the sentence was going to end after "pulled up his trousers"! I thought you meant the waistband!
Leonora -
Me, too - I was so delighted to have that time.
lg -
Still raining, looks like, but that's OK. My deck is fun. :)
Granny Annie -
Thank you - it's a treasure, for sure.
I haven't heard any wishes, but that would be nice. Or a boy would be fun, too.
We all read that book when my nephew developed childhood leukemia years and years ago - so wonderful. He is fine now, but a lot of his friends weren't.
FB -
Me, too. :)
A rainy day does have a tendency to make you relax and while away the hours doing almost nothing.
Talon -
I think so, too. I miss her.
And yes - totally best friends!
Elephant's Child -
I'll bet you have a wonderful house, full of interesting things.
I wish I could send rain!
Joe -
I'm sure. :)
RK -
lol!
G -
It makes a great excuse anyway - huh?
A perfect thing to do on a Rainy Afternoon! I Love that the expecting couple opened things together....And Perfect In Pink---socks and all!
Erma B. was soooo very special. She is really missed.
Naomi -
They have that youthful glow - it was a nice little party.
I've been going to work in the pouring rain alot lately! Wish I could stay in n read more-
Funny how some men are so afraid to wear pink! Men's is always where I find the best purple shirts too!
Some days the Erma quote really fits! Used to love her books m column.
