Rain. A mean miserable day, rain rain and rain. Regardless, we cleaned up the downstairs. Washed windows and floors. I cooked. Betty and Blanche to Norway. Betty got me a new canister set. Very pretty. She got herself some maternity clothes. Blanche made two cakes over here, gave us one. In evening she came over to wait with us for the Adair family. Betty, she and I tacked some crib blankets. No Adairs.
