We are in eastern Iowa and going through heavy rain showers. They are very local and come and go but intense. Earlier we were in Galena, Illinois. The home of the Ulyses S Grant. A very attractive town but crowded with tourists. The Grant home was closed on Tuesday. But we looked around the very lovely grounds. It was not raining when we were there. It started raining as we went toward Dubuque, IA, and over the Mississippi River. Right this minute it's pretty good.

We stopped to check out the Frank Lloyd Wright house called Cedar Rock .
Closed Monday and Tuesday!
Just stopped at a Casey's store in Independence. I used to work in that town! 66 years ago!
