Looking ahead

The rain showers we received last night caused the windows at the house to fog over this morning. It appeared as if we were living in a terrarium. I expected to see a lizard or a snake coming around the corner as I ate my breakfast.

When I entered my car an ant was crawling up my shirt. I have had little sensations of critters crawling up my body ever since. I guess they were trying to get away from the rain. We have had so little of it lately, they probably thought it was dangerous. Kind of like drivers in Southern California.

Patti is in Barnesville getting her son signed up for school, which starts on Friday. She is taking the day off and I have arranged to have Kate come in and act as receptionist. She is sitting in her seat, probably going through her emails on the computer.

Yesterday, I came home and Cindy and Kate were discussing her situation. I ultimately ended up going to the grocery for a few things and then driving to our nearby Mexican Restaurant for supper. Everybody seemed to perk up after that.

My sleeping was off last night. I fell asleep on the couch for awhile and everybody kind of abandoned me to my slumber. I woke up and watched a bit of the beginning of a movie and then went upstairs. I fell asleep and slept pretty soundly until about 3:30, when I woke up again and drowsed for an hour or two.

I finally came downstairs and ate breakfast and fell asleep again on the couch. After she finished her shower, Cindy woke me up and I took Tex and the garbage out.

We are looking forward to tomorrow afternoon. Cindy and I are leaving early from work and driving down to Culloden to buy peaches. Then we are driving to Columbus to pick up some documentation from a file at the courthouse. From there, we will go to Country's Barbecue for supper and then attend a baseball game. We are hoping for an entertaining evening at the ballpark.

We have decided that we need to go to the beach. Anybody who has been reading this blog over the past few months knows that the topic has been hovering over my head for quite some time. I think our little family has got to the point where there is no substitute for beachtime, probably in Savannah. We just have to arrange for the wherewithal to pay for it all. We don't intend to take much time off, but knowing Cindy and her schedule, she would definitely like to spend most of Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the proximity to beach, sand, water, seafood and entertainment. I am for that too. It has been quite some time since I was in Savannah. I am really looking forward to it.
