simply remember our favorite things

When the dog bites, when the bee stings... when the weather is slushy and foul, what should we do? The title says it all (thank you, the Sound of Music)! Today was definitely the moodiest, grayest day in New York that I've seen in a long time. And of course, I had work at 9 am! But then, I thought about all the lovely things that are associated with rain, slush, and snow. Like, kissing in the rain... and slurping red and blue slushies (or icees)... and breathless snowball fights. Great memories, right?

Another thing I remembered today were these pictures my dear childhood friend Cindy sent me about a year ago. I had forgotten all about this -- we were in the second grade! It made me happy, and reminded me that without rain, there would be no rainbows :)
