Another storm....

We may have a hurricane coming...Isaac. It does not look like much yet, but it is huge though, six hundred miles across. Any large amount of rain will be trouble, we have had so much already. And it will be my first hurricane alone, not a pleasant thought. Oops, I forgot about Mopsy. Oh well, she runs under the bed and hides at the first hint of thunder anyway...no help there. The thing I worry most about is sinkholes. Excess rain makes them appear like magic, swallowing cars and even parts of houses. I have noticed a lot more potholes in our roads during this rainy spell, too. Isaac could visit as early as the first of next week.

The weekend after this one, Labor Day weekend, one of my granddaughters is coming to visit. I have been pondering what we can do that would interest her, she is seventeen. I looked to see what play was running at the Hippodrome. It is called "Other Desert Cities". During a visit from their older children, the parents discover the daughter is writing (and publishing) a tell all book about them. Think a seventeen year old would be interested? Another choice is a trip to Cedar Key, good for a sightseeing boat tour around the islands and a scrumptious seafood dinner. I am so looking forward to some company...other than Mopsy, that is . Even though she talks back, I am having a very difficult time understanding her ..

It did rain again today. My neighbor on the left, who just got moved out yesterday, came back today and cut his grass...in the rain. I felt so sorry for him, but he is renting his house for a year and the "lady" is moving in tomorrow so I guess he had no choice. They have two little girls and a cute little dog I was always happy to see when I was outside. I will miss them.

until next time...c
