Things I Did on This Rainy Day

'Twas a rainy day today;

drizzle and wind and clouds,

so I slept in until ten or so

and then packed up hubby

in my shiny blue car ------

We went on a rainy-day-adventure.

 

Like a sporty car rounding

road curves at cruising speed,

I rounded twists and turns

through Lee, Madbury, and Dover

as my wheels whizzed

and my wipers squeaked.

 

First to eat, of course,

at the 'king of burgers'

from the dollar menu

and then to Wally-World.

 

Got yet another round of

baby shower gifts for the

Snell family, something

for Cheryl's birthday,

and masks for Ray and me.

 

Then to the...oh, I can't say...

...for it is an additional part

of a birthday gift for my

ultra-special sister. Shhhh!

 

Finally, a stop at the

food store for bread,

prunes, fruit, and other

nourishments, etc.

 

On my answering machine

was a call from my fav-niece.

Actually, two calls. Both pleaded,

"Can I come over? Call me back!"

 

So she came and we made chocolate

treats, played monkey-in-the-middle,

and ate supper. When it was time to

go home, we played a round of chess.

Daddy picked her up, much to her glee.

 

Now I sit at the computer screen,

yes, it's 11:15 p.m. Yes I take the time,

when I find the time, to write to you!

 

So that was my day...a nice, rainy one.

Hope yours was good, too.
