Summer Evening & ER Visit

B was going to spend the night with a friend tonight - 2nd attempt, 2nd friend since school has been out. They are both back here with us. But prior to them coming here, Mark, E & I went to the arts downtown tonight. We had a great time, not too much humidity! Outdoor music, art vendors, and a children's area with a lot of fun things to do. E made a flower and a newspaper/tissue paper sun hat, and had her face painted. She also drew on the street with sidewalk chalk. All of the main streets in downtowm were closed off. We had dinner at Mellow Mushroom - mmmmm.....

We were walking around and ran into the Judds. Mark was having trouble with his eye and said it was really painful. After taking his contact out, it didn't get any better. So, we headed to his office and he washed it out with water, I looke all around it and we put eye drops in it. By the time we left there, the white of his eye was swelling - looked like a jellyfish around the color of his eye. We drove around our small town for 40 minutes and went to 3 Urgent Care offices all of which were closed. So, E & I came home and he drove himself to the ER. Turns out he has had an allergic reaction to something. I was afraid he had a cut or tear on his eye. Luckily, he has to put special drops in it (that taken too frequently can cause blindness!!!), put cold compresses on it and take benedryl.

He leaves early in the morning for a conference/meeting in Martha's Vineyard. He will be gone until Friday. This is the only time I have really been jealous of him going on a trip and me not being able to go with him. I have always wanted to go to MV and ride a bicycle with a wicker basket on the front! ha ha ha And to see the beautiful place that it is that I have only seen in photos.

His mom is coming to visit tomorrow afternoon after her meeting in M'tgy. We will swim and swim a little more this weekend. So, that is our night and forcast for the weekend. B & his friend are still upstairs in his room at 10:15 pm with a flashlight telling stories. I told them that if we are to swim tommorow, they need sleep. They want sausage, biscuits and scrambled eggs for b'fast!!! We will see what happens on that front when the sun rises in the morning. Happy weekend to all.

OH and HAPPY 21st ANNIVERSARY to Holly & Robert!

Dr. W. and his weird allergies...And I think it is positively sinful that he did not pack you up and take you to M.V. with him...I am going to have to have a talk with dear Dr. W.

So did T and B ever go to sleep??? - I hope you have a great weekend - swimming and all - I will call you this afternoon. How sweet of you to wish us a Happy Anniversary on your Blog - you are the greatest and we do feel special - who needs Martha's Vineyard anyway - right!!!
