Rainy Days

     There’s an old song that talks about how the singer “loves a rainy night.”  I completely agree.  Rainy days have become some of my favorite because a rainy day will more than likely be a Family Day or occasionally a Date Day!  Working a full time job and farming doesn’t leave much time for anything else, but when it rains field work has to be put on hold so there is time.  Usually, we will play some board game or Wii games together.  Other times we all go bowling together or to rent a movie but always we do things as family, an entire family.  A date day takes a little planning but today got to be just such a day.  My Mom took the boys and Jeff and I were able to go to town, just the two of us to get a little Christmas shopping done and have lunch.  This really was a rare treat.  Normally any and all shopping, Christmas or otherwise is done by me.  I just tell Jeff later what we got for everyone.  Thankfully done of the gifts got too soggy while we loaded them into the car.
