What is your favorite rainy day activity

I like to read aloud by the fire with a mug of hot tea or coffee. My children usually lay on the hearth rug listening while they color or draw. They like hot tea or hot chocolate too.
 
Hi Bonnie,

Sorry for the delay... things gettin crazy around here.

For the most part, it was just my imagination. Although I do remember these very depressing thoughts as a child cooped up in a house for two weeks straight while it rained... Instead of an apple tree, it was a huge cherry tree. Oh, and I didn't really live with my mom.

Gotta run. TTYL.
 
i am a little bit obsessed with rainy days :D I LOVE rain, thunderstorms everything about them. i like to watch tv or sit by the window and read, play cards anything!

Providing the rain doesn't bring on a storm that knocks out the power, football is it! Now, watching them play football in the rain is even :thumb :lol
 
Hi girly~

We live on the side of a fairly steep hill heading up into the mountains. In fall and winter, we are at the "snow line". There have been times when it's snowing like crazy out in our back yard, and sunny in our front yard. Weird but true. The kids hate it when I look out the back window before school and make them put on their snow things, only to get to the bottom of our driveway and find that there is no snow below us at all.

But, I too lovethe dark and dreary days. We are having one today, it's cold, somewhat rainy and foggy outside. We are watching classic swashbuckling movies from the 50's and working on that jigsaw puzzle. There's a fire in the woodstove and a pot of hot water for tea keeping warm on it.

I love this senerio too, especially the movies and the fire. Whose your favorite swash-buckler? It's a toss-up for me between Errol and Burt.

I have been keeping my spirits up <as I cough> and watching some really funny classics, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World~ Bringing Up Baby~ Arsenic and Old Lace~ and the original Out of Towners.

Jesus bless you honey and yours~ Bonnie

Heya Jeffrey~

A cheery tree huh? Got any old pics of it? Those are such pretty trees... If not, dats okey dokey, I know how busy you can get~ :yes

In Jesus~ all of us kids~ Bonnie~ :shades
 
Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. I lost the entire month of September because of some crud my daughter brought home from school. Stay warm and drink lots of tea.

As for the favorite swashbuckler, Errol, hands down!

And you named some of my all time favorite movies. We watch Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World at least 2-3 times a year and the whole family howls each and every time. Bringing up Baby is my favorite Katherine Hepburn movie and I love Arsenic and Old Lace.

However, I've never heard of Out of Towners. If you like it, it must be good. I'll have to look for it!
 
You've GOT to see that film, Dora. It's one of the many classic SImon films and you can't go wrong... Jack Lemmon is the reluctant "star" of the movie. :lol LOL, NYC at it's best... and worst, depending on where you live. ;)
 
Oh yes... it has been ages but I remember going to EVERY Rose Bowl game back when I raising children in Pas-a-donuts (Pasadena to those who do not know the city as we did.)

My favorite sport to watch... hubby was JC All American... :shrug

In the rain or in the shine was futbol! [That is Armenian for football. :lol

[attachment=0:2coi09lr]rainplay.jpg[/attachment:2coi09lr] oh yeah! And the SOUND of football in rain... smack, swish, blurp! FUMBLE! :thumb
 
I love Australia. It's usually above 16 degrees celcius where I live all year, and that's in winter. We're now heading into summer, so while you guys are complaining about the cold, I'll be playing cricket on the beach. Oh yyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. :rolling.


Anyway, if for some odd reason there is a rainy day, I love reading a book, or playing card games etc. Computer is also good. :D :)

I was raised in cricket, so I've known it all my life. For someone else, the game could look boring and slow, but not to me, although I can understand why some feel that way. I think to really be a fan of cricket you have to be almost 'born into it'.
 
i have watched it when i was afghanistan, and sometimes the locals would fight and almost kill each other over who cheated or if the other team won, any sport, to me, is just that a sport, not life or death, that includes el futbol(soccer), american football, rugby, rough one there, etc, and ad nauseum.

i have a jamican coworker who plays crickets and has explained the rules, he longer plays it though, i forgot why he stopped.
we in florida really dont have a winter, the coldest it has gotten in my short 36 yrs of life, is 0 degrees fareigheit, most of the time its a good 30 degrees centigrade, as it was today. so crickets would be very hot in those uniforms,

Yes, but cricket is a summer sport. We play it over our sommer. It gets incredibly hot out there. A few summers ago we were playing the Ashes over here, and out in the field it was 46 degrees celcius. :o. That was insane.
