Rain, rain, GO AWAY!!!


Oh my!! My rain boots and raincoat are getting quite the workout in Charlotte so far this summer. Rained a couple of weeks ago, rained all week while I was away at the beach, and I came home to the Queen City to MORE rain!! At least the birds and the trees are happy!! I tried to include a number of "indoor" activities for this week, just in case Mother Nature keeps acting up. Make it a great week, and stay dry!!!

Don't forget to follow on Twitter where I'll post throughout the week. FOLLOW HERE
