Record Rains

This area (Coachella Valley) now has a new rainfall record. It has rained a total of 3.88" through yesterday with 1.46" coming yesterday. Not only that, but we never got above 49 degrees the whole day. We also hear that there is record snowfall for this time of year in the mountains. The golf tournament (Bob Hope Classic) had to suspend play yesterday as a result of the heavy rain and will extend the tournament through Monday. That probably means that we won't go on Saturday since we wanted to see all the golfers and celebrities on the same day on the same course which only happens for the next to last round. That also means we would have to go on Sunday which probably will be our departure day.

Josie did her "girl" stuff yesterday morning and we went to Costco after that and stocked up on paper products. It was raining so hard that we had to take a couple detours because of flooding and the visibility was also very poor. The good part about going when we did though was that the rains kept a lot of people home and it wasn't crowded at all. There is a little more rain forecast today as the last of the storm(s) moves through. Believe it or not, there is another storm front due in by Tuesday. We hope to be gone by then.

It was nice for both of us to sleep in a little today. It will probably be a laid back, quiet day except for a trip we need to make to Walmart to pick up prescriptions for Josie. Until tomorrow...
