"Down Came the Rain"

The day is well underway. 

Grandson sleepover -- check.

Breakfast at the diner -- check.

Singing the Itsy Bitsy Spider 10,000 times because of the rain -- check.

Returned to parents -- check.

Elmo had a wild morning.

It was a super fun and easy sleepover. Babysitting all day tomorrow since school is closed and parents are working. Set for a craft (painting) morning, lunch out, park time in the afternoon. It should be a good time again.

Getting ready to meet a large group of women from my action group -- lunch and tickets to a Black History event in our town. Learning about the historic black church and first black-owned business in our town. Both are a block from my house and I'm glad to have a chance to learn more about this history. 

I'm "hosting" the lunch -- taking care of the reservations, group response, etc. 

Then home on this full rain day to chill and watch the rest of "How to Get to Heaven from Belfast." 

I finished two, thankfully, short books. "Slaughterhouse Five" was strange and not at all what I expected. I see the point. I get why it was such a breakthrough book. And, I thought it wasn't a good read. (Did I already review this ... can't remember hah!)

Then I read "A Cold Day for Murder" (Dana Stabenow) which came highly recommended. It was SO BORING. I wasn't invested in any character or the mystery of the book. Even the ending did nothing to change that -- how does someone recommend this book?!?

I need another pick today and I need something good to break this streak. 

I got a nice stack of books from my library bookstore shift yesterday. Really good kids books and a few for me too. It's my favorite FUN volunteering. I've never had a bad shift. 

Okay, time to get ready for the lunch. It already feels like a full day. Guess it's good to have something to do on a rainy Sunday. Later gators.
