Rockfest Days

The day is done and a sort of calm has settled over us.  But first I must tell you about yesterday.  I didn't feel good just kind of "blaa".   By 6/6:30 Denese asked me if I wanted to go to ER and I decided that is what I should do, we took off about 7:00 PM.  To make a long story short we left there about 11:30 picked up a prescription and was home by 12:30.  I was having a bout with Diverticulitis an antibiotic should take care if.
Today was Rockfest Days, every town in US has a celebration uniquely their own.  And Rockvill's is called Rockfest.  Very near here was a "food court" with all kinds of fast food, hot dogs, sandwiches and drinks.  We picked up food then brought it home to eat.  I more or less took it easy (Dr. orders) all day, slept in until 8:45 this morning.  At 6:00 the parade started, Randy and Mary joined me in chairs under the tree in the front yard, lots of fire trucks and farmers tractors all clean freshly painted (they didn't look like they had seen a day of work in a dusty field).  Candy is thrown from every vehicle that drove down the street and the kids scramble for it carrying LARGE plastic bags, I think there were a few adults in the scrambling bunch.
At 10:00PM the fire works went off and again I can watch them from my patio and it would have been fun but the mosquitoes would not let us enjoy them, nasty critters! 
I think the whole thing ends with a street dance in down town Rockville which I'll miss, too far beyond my bed time and I don't dance.
That is what has happened here and now for an uninterrupted night of sleep.....Fran
