Smoothie Highlight

8:30 a.m. - appointment for annual diabetic eye exam. Everything is great. Only thing is, they dilate your eyes so that you can't stand any bright light for the rest of the day. It finally wore off around 5 p.m.

Dick was my chauffeur. We went to the Flap Jack Shack for breakfast. Breakfast was great, and my eyes were OK as long as I faced away from the windows. Natural light doesn't have the same effect as sunlight.

Meanwhile, Sunday night the crown that was re-cemented last week fell off again. Dr. Kevin doesn't work on Mondays, so I had an appointment today at 1:30. Remember the dilated eyes? When they turn that light on you at the dentist's office, the best thing to do is just close your eyes. I was wearing dark sunglasses too. The crown was back on in 15 minutes. I'm crossing my fingers that this time it will stay put.

We did some errands - Square Deal, K-Mart, Sherwin Williams - checked Mom's house. Then Dick had this great idea of sitting downtown with a cuppa and watching the touristers. We decided on Crema, moved our table so we could see down the street, and I really enjoyed watching the babies and the outfits through my dark glasses. Traverse is really loaded with tourists of all sorts. We've had many 90 degree days lately, and it's perfect summer weather. We saw people walking directly from the beach to Front St. I had the Power Island smoothie - raspberry, strawberry, mango and banana. It was the highlight of my day...

...until later this evening when John called. The buyer person has agreed to our price for Mother's house, and we can initial the agreement tomorrow. Closing will be August 1. Hooray! Hooray!!
