Rain day

It started raining through the night and never quit until about noon.  I think we only had about a half inch, but the water ponds on the desert and just driving down the street we went through lots of big puddles.  At times it was almost a downpour, a bit of a surprise when you experience it for the first time.
  I got up early and went to breakfast in the hall.  It was pretty good & sat with a group of friends.  Most of the talk was about the animal races last night and the laughs we had.  I think some people were surprised to hear about the number of people that turned out for it & there were lots of comments about coming next week. 
  After we went out to look at some blinds.  Marg wants to put some new blinds in the motorhome.  The ones in here are aluminum venetians that came with it.  They are in fine condition, but apparently they do not meet our needs.  I will grant the one at the head of the bed sometimes rattles if it gets bumped in the night and we need to match it in the other 9 windows if we replace it.  I don't think it will we that difficult, but we will see.  Checked out the home improvement stores, but I think we are headed to Camping World.
  Went for lunch to Appleby's.  Marg had the same thing she always has for lunch, the soup & salad combo.  I had the chicken caesar salad, it was great.
  As a famous broadcaster used to say - and that's the kind of day it was.
