This weekend was no exception and it all started when my owners decided to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity on Friday instead of their usual Saturday. The routine for me is the same – up extra early, big walk, then back into the bedroom with some breakfast to nap and wait for grandma to come and take me for another walk. According to my owners, their day started out like most Habitat days – outside in the 90+ heat (at 7:00 am), finding out what volunteer groups they will lead in their assigned construction tasks.
Then the torrential rains began. Thankfully, Mom was leading wall furring and ceiling strip, which are both inside tasks, so she had some cover from the huge raindrops.

When we woke up on Saturday, the sun was shining once again and we headed out on a lunch hunt (we went out to eat for lunch)! We ended up at a restaurant along the Intracoastal Waterway where we ate fish sandwiches, drank a beer (OK, water for me) and watched boats pull in and out of the canal.
On the way back to the car, it once again started raining cats and dogs so we ran between the raindrops, jumped in the car and decided to head home. It rained like that off and on for the rest of Saturday and right into Sunday.
I hope it doesn’t rain again today; I have had enough running between the raindrops.
Oh! What a brilliant blog again! We all so interested here to see ya (poor) Mum and Dad running between the raindrops. What a really admirable thing for them to do on their weekends! And you get to have extra Peace and Quiet (P & Q) and a walk with Grandma too! And then ya got to go out to eat and WOW those Manatees so close in. Ya! I guess 'Barking' could be construed as 'Harrasment' BOL! (Oppss.... sorry!) Thank you for sharing my furiend. Love your furiend AnnieB X
