We found out some things about each other we didn't even know. I did not know my cousin didn't have a middle name. He didn't know what mine was or why I had it. My middle name was my great aunt's name. She died of tuberculosis in the 1920s. She was my grandfather's only sister and he loved her very much.
The rest of the week was kind of hectic, because I had a lot of aprons to make and designs to work on. My daughter had a lot of running around to do and it was her birthday Tuesday, so not only did I miss a day of work, I had to grocery shop and make a very special 3 layer banana split cake for her.
It was such a pretty week that I took a little time (very little) to sit out in the sun, I can't work on the computer out in the sun, so I took out my jewelry. My daughter took a little time off work, to go out for her birthday, and they took the next day too, to shop and enjoy the sun.
Thursday after the kids got home, we all went to the beach by our house. My eight year old grandson was swimming and playing with a friend. He has a foam board with a cord for the lake. His friend wanted him to pull her, but she was too heavy. But kids don't think and he kept pulling. My daughter and I said to stop, and just then the cord snapped out and he was hit in the face with the plastic T that held the cord to the board. It didn't just hit his head, it hit his eye, and the eye was bleeding.
His parents scooped him up soaking wed and rushed him to the closest ER. They almost sent him home with some eye drops, then the noticed he was bleeding between his iris and cornea. They had to rush him to the children's hospital near downtown Cleveland. The accident happened at 4pm and they finally got home at 1am. In the mean time, I had heard very little and was freaking out so bad I got tons of laundry done and most of the house cleaned.We still don't know if he will be OK, but it looks like it's healing. He won't be out of possible danger for a week or two. KIDS!!
Saturday was nice. Most of the stress over, my family got together again for a nice evening out at the local pizzeria. But my daughter and I are so behind on our work, we aren't getting any rest and her son needs to see the doctor regularly until we are sure he's OK.
What a crazy week.

I hope your grandson's eye will be ok. You certainly had a busy week. It's nice to read about other people's lives. Especially enjoyed reading about yours. I know so little about you, except on twitter.
Oh boy, what a week! I hope that he is recovering. I've had that awful fright of an eye accident with our son. I'm glad you got time to be with some of your family. My oldest sis doesn't have a middle name because my parents couldn't think of one. I'm named after my dad's mom - I never met her because she had died before I was born. Jane Agnes. My brother called me Aggie as a girl and I hated it.
Oh my! I hope the Dink will be all fine! Kids always manage to give you heart attacks one way or the other!
Sending good vibes your way!
