Jolene experienced rain for the first time in over a year.

Drove the Sunbird to a small family event tonight (per my three-year-old son’s request) and a pretty crazy thunderstorm followed us home.

Aside from some wipers that are streaky from never being used (I seriously avoid driving this car in the rain if I can), she did great. New tires certainly helped.

We even hit a small flash flood that I didn’t see until it was too late. Jolene is tough. And, this car is such a base model that it doesn’t have intermittent wipers.

And no, new baby didn’t come. Mom stayed home with her. :-)

She also gets to spend the night outside tonight since the backyard is too wet to drive to the shed.
