A quiet Thursday

After breakfast, we headed out to find a West Marine store, as Dan needed to replace the regulator for the grill.  The store was north of the campground in an area that Dan thought desirable for house-hunting (along the Dog River) so we also did a drive-by  of a house on the water that was for sale.  It was probably lovely, but it was a long way from a town, from grocery shopping, from anything.  Not suitable, though living right on the river would certainly be nice.

Back by noon, Kelly connected with me and I picked up Rossi, for us to dog-sit for the afternoon while she taught her class and attended meetings.  Rossi was uneasy leaving Kelly and did not lie down ALL afternoon!  She and Ranger and I did have a good walk, and she was able to sniff out things at the campsite.  

Kelly arrived around 5:00, much to the delight of both Rossi  and Ranger (who always goes crazy when he sees Kelly).  Shortly thereafter, Michael arrived, and Dan grilled burgers (regular and veggie) for dinner which we enjoyed while catching up on news.

This morning, Ranger and I were both up early again.  We had our morning walk along the beach near the lab as the sun came up.

 Cloudy weather expected for the next two days, with rain in the forecast for Sunday.  Kelly and Michael plan to bring a tent out later today to stay overnight in the campground.
