Setback- Grumbling

After looking threatening all Monday morning, the skies opened up late yesterday afternoon and we got a good soaking. Now we need to wait for cushions, patio carpet, etc., to dry out. The vacuuming is negated-muddy paw prints everywhere, a bored Honey has been making little pieces out of big pieces as I slept, and she is cooped up and not being a good sport about it. Buster was terrified by the thunder and panted in my ear all night long. I have a little bit more sympathy for the weatherman here because the kids got zip-Jason repaired his bilge pump yesterday and enjoyed the sunshine. We met halfway in Delray for a meal at my favorite restaurant: Phyllis G's Enigma. This time we met the chef, his wife waited on us, and son-in-law Jaimie showed off his beloved motorycle. I was a stoopid and did not photograph the food-which is so good, so generous and beautifully presented in a funky little place that you can't get into on weekends in season.

An aftermarket electronic device Jaimie installed-now his Honda motorcycle clocks at 193.6 m.p.h. It is quiet but zippy as he demonstrated.

Still drizzling this morning as we came back from McDonald's. I am out of regular coffee and whether it is the decaf or depression I have the slows and thought a jolt of high test coffee would be salutary. I am ready to be on my way emotionally but not physically and the rain put a damper on progress. The Sun is shining now and will help dry things out- I will leave when I can.
