Rain!!  Yeah, we had some rain and a solid half-day of it.  Still no where enough from what we need but it helps.  It is like adding a drop of water in a extra big trash-bin you would see on the side of a building.  Just a drop though if I were to compare it but what is worse, no drop or 1 drop?  Sort of the lesser of two evils or is the kind of thing where it would have been better to not get anything at all?  I think it was good to get it because it supplied a drop of water and at the same time clean up the trash can a little bit.  We need a much more through cleaning!  And something than just a drop of water, anything ... anything.

Weekly Update:
Went to an amazing event on Thursday for the Children's Miracle Network.  Some familiar faces and new ones, great eats and treats and then an amazing on-stage performance by Marie Osmond.  There was several kids there from the network and they were having an amazing time.  There were a couple of Disney Princesses and their counter-parts there as well which you could tell were a big hit with all the families.  Some great sponsors as well and got to enjoy a great fruit drink, some amazing natural fruit Popsicles and other odds and ends.  Some food related and others merchandise but overall just a great time!  It was a great day to remember and got to grab some pics with some folks:

*L.J. Benet - from "Dog with a Blog" and all around great guy.
*Garrett Clayton - From "Teen Beach Movie" and a really nice guy!
*Atticus Shaffer - From the movie "Hancock" and a cool guy.
*Miles Brown - from the new TV series "Black-ish" and a good kid.
*Aubrey Anderson-Emmons - From "Modern Family" and very sweet.
*Brian J. White - from the movie "The Game Plan" and a really nice guy!
*Oscar Nunez - from "The Office" and really awesome guy!
*Marie Osmond - simply spectacular and been on many shows including her own variety show.

At the movies:
Big surprises at the box office this weekend as Pitch Perfect 2 sings its way to #1!  Earning a hefty 70.3 million and over double all expectations, this song and dance show hits the chart strong!  Word-of-mouth is fair to good on the film and with Memorial Day next week, it could sustain for another solid week.  New at #2 is the remake Mad Max: Fury Road earning 44.4 million and also about double expectations.  Reviews are strong for this film with the stunts and action sensory overload going on.  Should hold OK for another week but not as strong as the #1 movie this weekend.  Holding ground at #3 is "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" with an extra 38.8 mil and almost to the 400 mil domestic cume mark.  With the holiday coming up, it should reach it by Monday of next week.  Drop to #4 is "Hot Pursuit" with 5.8 mil and quickly losing the chase.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Furious 7" with another 3.7 mil and pretty much out of gas at this point.
