But, girl, don't they warn ya? It pours, man, it pours. That was certainly our experience this week. My friend Joanie and I flew out here to Ventura Wednesday where she has a mobile home near her daughter Jennifer. Jennifer picked us up in Santa Barbara and delivered us to Joanie's second home. After a long flight from Iowa with a layover in Denver and the two hour time change, we were beat and hit the hay early.
About 1:00 am, I woke up to the sound of rain. It was pouring and continued to do so until about 9:00 am. They said it was about three inches and the national news covered the storm last night--the Pineapple Express. The forecast was for more rain during the day but that never materialized. Today is supposed to be dry, but the predictions for the next week until my departure on Saturday include rain every day except one. Especially heavy rain is forecast for this weekend.

So we will make plans day by day. We were able to get out yesterday for much needed groceries and take a walk around the mobile home park. We waited until the rain quit for the grocery run, since Joanie's 'California car' is not designed for any deep water driving. Meanwhile, the weather is low 50s and sunny in Iowa. Go figure.
