Last week I was on the East Coast and I heard the same thing over and over. It has rained for the entire month of June and I am sick of it. It gave me a little time to pause and think about what people do when it rains, snows or is freezing outside for long periods of time:
- Are they going bowling?
- Are they seeing a movie?
- Are they going out to dinner more?
- Are they playing laser tag?
- Are they going to an arcade?
- Are they playing board games with their kids?
- Are they playing cards?
- Are they inviting over their friends and having a party?
So the question is what are you doing?
- Are you catching up on projects at the house?
- Fixing things you should have months ago?
- Reading more?
- Paying bills on time?
I look forward to reading your comments.

I am not a beach person so I am not that affected. My mood is not as bright when it rains, but I always find ways to keep busy. I always go to the movies, I have been doing more chores around the house, like cleaning out my closet. That project kept me busy for 2 days. I finally threw out a lot of stuff. We play dominoes and May I which is a card game. Love games.

My family loves card and board games of all kinds. We live close enough to my sister and her family that we get together a lot, and while the adults play cards (our favorite is Pinochle), the kiddos play board games. We also play games we can all participate in together. Board games like Cranium or Trivial Pursuit, dice games like Farkle, and card games like Spoons. While we play, we tell stories and reminisce. We also eat a lot. I love those days.

We love board and card games, and play quite a few. Here are a couple of links to articles I wrote on some of the games we play and like:

My wife and I both have Nintendo DS systems and a game called “Club House Games” that lets you play lots of card games and other classic table games wirelessly. We get that out when we want to play cards, but can’t find any friends who are available.

I usually come inside when the weather is nasty, go into my closet and grab my e-Vent gear and head back outside.
There is no bad weather…. Just different kinds.
But, if I had to be inside, I would spend it cuddled with a good book or someone who’s read one!
