Sunday afternoon rain and an impending trip to Apalachicola

It rained last night and the thunder and lightning woke the dog and sent him on an excursion upstairs and around the living room, barking. I am not quite sure what he was looking for, but he left a trail of doggy droppings through the living room. I found them when I stepped on one of them in the darkness trying to find the dog. Cindy put the dog in bed with us and I cleaned up the trail. One of those lovely perks of dog ownership. Or ownership by the dog. We woke up late this morning and I was only able to go to church. Cindy stayed home. She was at the table on the backporch, grading papers. The dog was on his bed in the kitchen staring out at Cindy on the backporch. It was beginning to rain again when I got home. It has been raining ever since. Almost eight o'clock pm and I finally found the way into my blog. I hope I will be able to continue. It is quite a comfort. Cindy and I are going to a closing I have in Camilla on Friday, to be followed by a weekend trip to Apalachicola. I am looking forward to more seafood and sunshine and maybe some time in the water at the beach on St. George. There is nothing better than crossing over the bridge from East Point to St. George, watching the oystermen plying their trade on the waters of Apalachicola Bay. The last natural oyster beds in North America. A great place.
