Sunday Evening

Good Evening, Blog Pals:
       The sun is setting on a near perfect spring day, weatherwise. The kids are playing catch in the vacant lot, delicious smells that waft through the window tell me a number of cook outs are underway.   Folks walk by with dogs, baby strolers, on bikes/skateboards. One of the dogs on a leash was a little white mop type dog. The German Shepard a coupla doors down barked at it and the game little mop yipped back, fiercely lunging against its leash as if saying "lemme at 'im". Interesting. The streetlights havn't come on yet. When we were young, that was the universal signal to return home.
     We were going out to the graves this afternoon but there was a crisis. Jethro was injured. Jethrene was trying to get him dressed for a birthday party for the child of one of her classmates and he squirmed away from her, fell backward and hit his head on the corner of the endtable. The poor little kid. He whacked himself pretty good. He bled profusely and Jethrene rushed him to the hospital. They stitched him up and assured his mother that there was no real permanent damage. But it was so scary. The poor little guy. His stitches (staples, actually) come out in five days. Jethrene reports he's up and playing and seems none the worse for wear. That could have been so much worse than it was and I know Jethrene is eating herself up with guilt.   I tried to re-assure her that things like that happen and it wasn't her fault. Needless to say they missed the birthday party and Daisy May is all ticked off about that. Even so she can't get over the fact that "Jethro bled" and "he hit his head". Medical school, here she comes.
     So we will be visiting the graves tomorrow instead. I'm still trying to talk them into a cookout but I am not making much headway. These people have no idear how to celebrate properly.

     Well the streetlight is on, time for me to go in.

Have a good holiday everyone. Pause for a moment to contemplate those whom we honor with this holiday.

I thought you made up Duncan Falls sort of like from Its a Wonderful Life. When I started on MyBloggers it assigned me some weird location, too, Portland, I think, which is strange because my ISP is a small outfit in Northern Colorado so you'd think it would have at least said Fort Collins, which never had a fort ever, but somehow got named that.

My 3 year old granddaughter fell down the stair for a midnight potty break and hit her head on a ledge. 7 staples... she's fine now. Kids are tough lil' buggers.

We grilled burgers this weekend... sure sign of summer.
Have a great night.

When I was a kid, my parents always had us come home when it got dark. The problem, during the summer months, was that it didn't get dark until late in the evening. The story about the little white dog reminded me of my own dog. She's a maltese/terrier and barks/lunges at other dogs that walk on 'her sidewalk.'

My younger son had stitches two times before he was 2 years old, the little stinker. He would climb things and fall flat on his face. He's still a daredevil even today!

Most of my family is in the same cemetary. This memorial day and every day, I remember them with love.

Kids-they are hard to kill and they heal quick.

I looked up Duncan Falls and discovered it's near that "Wild Animal" preserve (whatever it's called). I've threatened to go there (traveling to my sister's in VA), but ....you know how it is. Worth seeing?

So...right after we chatted you had a medical emergency. Hmmm. I could have rushed to his side and helped! Staples...don't even think of trying to remove them with the gadget you got at Office Depot!!

Poor little guy!

Yes these things happen and a head or a mouth injury causes a LOT of bleeding. We won't be having a cookout tomorrow. We almost always do every year but, hubby is flying out early in the a.m. before the sun comes up and will be in Rhode Island all week. Sooooo, it is going to be a quiet, and lonely week. Nathan will be working so much except for tomorrow. It will mainly be the pups and me here.

I hope it goes by fast this is actually the start of three weeks he will be gone and only home on the weekends.

I have to go to the cemetery tomorrow. Yes, the ultimate sacrifice.

comment by cindy on May 25, 2008 8:44 PM ()

I guess I am going to skip the cemetery this year. It is three hours away, and I just don't have the $50 it would take to get there and back. I will go later when money isn't so tight.
