It's a rainy day here, so our field trip to Fort Sumter has to be postponed.  Today was to be our first day of "Charleston History Month."  Our family bought a pass through "Be a Tourist in Your Own Town," and we were planning to use our pass to take a cruise to Ft. Sumter, where the Civil War began (or the "War of Northern Aggression" as it is sometimes referred to 'round these here parts).  Anyway, we're rained out, so we're going to stay home and read some library books about Charleston.  This is a cute one in which two children visit downtown historical landmarks in search of their missing cat.  So though we're rained out, we'll try to make some lemonade out of these lemons!  And as they say, tomorrow is another day, Scarlett!

But if we WERE able to go on our field trip, I would not have to suffer the indignity of watching this acrobatic RAT eat all the birdseed!  GGRRRRR!
