More rain!  This has been really nice and we have been so desperate for it.  It has been great and the upcoming forecast shows nothing this coming week which is a bummer. In fact it looks like its going to be heating up a little bit next week which seems more on par with what we are used to but I was actually getting use to the cold!  It was a nice change from all the heat, heat and more heat.  But more water please in the near future.  We are coming up on April, isn't that a thing?  April Showers or something?  Why it rains in April, no idea but I hope that is really a thing.

Weekly Update:
So, I haven't really tired the Disney California Adventure version of Food and Wine festival.  I have been to the Epcot version a couple of times and its OK.  I mean the amount you pay for and the quantity of food is just OK.  I would rank portions below average, quality good (but not great).  But this year I thought I would check out the California version for the first time.  I mean I have tried bits here and there in the past but not actually gotten the food and beverage pass.  With this pass it makes anything over $5.35 a deal because you save.  Now there is a lot under that amount but more over it so in the end, it is a savings and get to try some interesting and fun foods.

At the movies:
No surprise this weekend as Captain Marvel takes flight and the crown.  Earning a hefty 153 million for its debut, right on the original target number!  At a distant #2 is "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World" with another 14.7 mil as it surpasses the 100 mil cume mark.  May not fly too much further from here but still a good run.  Holding at #3 is "Tyler Perry's A Madea Family Funeral" with another 12.1 mil.  Hanging on to the #4 spot is "The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part" with 3.8 mil extra and just shy of 100 mil.  Hopefully will reach that in another week.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Alita: Battle Angel" with 3.2 mil and will definitely fall short of 100 mil.
