I was recently invited to an uncle’s 70th birthday party.  It is coming up in two weeks.  I was racking my brain, trying to figure out what in the world to get this smart-aleck guy who loves to needle everyone until they snap.  Well, I was thinking about his house, and how he had decorated two of his rooms with a pink flamingo theme as a joke.  One is a bedroom; the other is the adjoining bathroom. 

Well, I had to laugh when I found a pink flamingo rubber ducky on a website that sells retro baby clothing. They sell a wide variety of retro baby rompers, onesies, dresses, diaper covers, and baby accessories.  I was browsing that site because Teri had left it on the computer and when I sat down I saw the rubber duckies page.  What a laugh they gave me, a variety of character rubber duckies that would bring a grin to just about any adult I know!  Who says rubber duckies are for babies?

Later I asked Teri why she had that website up on the computer and she explained that one of her co-workers is pregnant (expecting a girl!)  and they are holding a baby shower for her soon.  She said that she wanted to buy her something “retro” for a baby gift and fell in love with the baby romper that is called “Lotus Love” – it looks very “tie-dye.”   I have to admit that would look really cute on a baby girl!
