“You want to play with Cheeseburger Lucy?”
“Um. Looks like a nice day for a nap.”
“Hey, Dad. Lucy won’t play with me.”
“Come on, Lucy, play with your sister.”
“Fine. I have the stinking cheeseburger.”
“You are supposed to run around with it in your mouth, and then I chase you and take it away.”
“Let’s eliminate the middle part. Here take it.”
“How fun is this?”
“How about outside Little Potato?”
“I hear something on the roof.”
“I don’t hear anything. What is it?”
“It’s rain. I can’t believe it. it’s raining out there, Lucy.”
“Looks like the outside has to be postponed.”
“Okay, it’s raining out front. How about out in the back?”
“You are kidding, right? You know when it rains, it’s everywhere.”
“That’s how much you know, Lucy. This is Texas. It could be raining out front and dry in the back. Let’s check.”
“Well?”
“Yeah, it’s raining out back too. That means it will be an all-day deal.
“I’m so glad we have a meteorologist on staff.”

Ha-ha-ha! Their expressions, dear John! Lucy & Twiggy tired of cheeseburgers. They think to become super mega vegans. 🙂 Thanks!

Thanks, John. They don’t seem to have turkeys here but there’s plenty of chicken. The best burger I’ve tasted here that was somewhat like in the U.S. was one with a think slice of paneer cheese on it instead of meat. Paneer is a cheese that originated in India. 🙂 — Suzanne

As for the erratic rain, have experienced it here in Florida as well. Was actually walking down the street one day and came to a ‘curtain of rain,’ so the dogs and I just turned around and returned up the street, remaining completely dry. It was bizarre….
