Happy Father's Day - June 21, 2009


Sunday, June 21, 2009 - Happy Father's Day to Grandpa and
all the fathers and dads who read this, plus as an added
bonus, it's the first day of Summer (the longest day of the
year), aka Summer Solstice, aka the days start getting shorter.
Did I say that??????????
We FINALLY got nice summer weather yesterday for the Eby
Brown picnic at Lion's Park in Elburn. Plus, we had Luis here
working on cutting the honeysuckle down to size. WOW! It
looks SO different. Now, we can't hide anymore. haha
The reason I'm writing in here today is so I can reference the
page from last year (actually not one year ago) on Father's
Day. It was on June 15th. That's when I had the "situation" with
my eye. It is quite disturbing, however, looking back now, I
would never have imagined it would turn out okay.
Now I know exactly what happened. Not WHY, but what. First,
my pressure went sky high up to 40. THAT'S why I couldn't
see. When the pressure goes that high, it totally obscures the
vision. Plus, it seems now that I also had an optical migrane. A
perfect horrible storm of disastrous events!!
Knowing what I know now, I now know what to do if that EVER
happens again! Hopefully, it won't because it's very, very scary
to not be able to see.
Bob went out to the cemetery. I'm finishing this up so I can post
it to the world wide web. Have a nice day. Right now -- we
have clouds. Hope to see the sun sooner or later. see ya
later, djb

belongs to Andrew's greeting...it's hard to
say. But, there's those smiley faces!!!
