We went to the Casino last night to see Blood Sweat and Tears.  We went up north a few miles catch the pontoon shuttle to cross over the Missouri Rivever to the Casino. The water was just as calm as that picture shows.

 

The Concert was fun.  We met DSIL and her hubby there.  Boy! BS&T are OLD!  LOL But they still sound the same.  We also ate supper there and had a nice time visiting.  

 

Afterwards..We walked out the door of the Pavilion and right on to the Shuttle.  We were back on our side of the River and on the road home by 9:45.  At our house we grabbed our Reunion Paraphernalia and walked downtown.  There was a mob of people there.  A storm was moving in so they shot off fireworks before 10:45.   It rained some but everyone went under the tent and other canopies and in the bars.  We stayed down there until about 1 or so.  

 

It was windy while we were under the tent and I had some sort of an allergic reaction and could feel my chest and throat plugging up.  I lost my voice.  I wonder if there was some dust in that tent that was shaking loose in the wind.  After I got out of under the tent I started feeling better almost immediately.  Very strange!

 

Today I will catch up on the wash.  I don't think I had time to wash last week so there is quite a pile down there.  All of our company has left and DH and I just all tuckered out.  I have two more busy weekends coming up.  Then DS and DDIL will be packing up and heading to MISSOURI.

 

I hope you have a good rest of the weekend.

Hi Donna,


It sounds like you had a perfect evening except for the allergy part. I love when doing something that usually involves a crowd, like going to a concert doesn't involve an hour of getaway traffic. That quick shuttle escape got you back to enjoy another crowd event at home. Hope you had a great time. Did you photograph

Hugs,


Melissa

It's exhausting when you have so much fun crowded into such a short time frame.

Oh Donna!!! I love that 2nd photo of the fireworks!! That's awesome!!

You know, The Moody Blues are OLD too...but sounded great! From far far away they looked pretty good but when we got up close...ewwww...not good. I like to remember them as they were. Did you hear Ringo Starr turned 70!!!!! YIKES!!!! A Beatle is 70????!!!!! How the heck did that happen? That's just not right!

That was a very strange reaction you had in the tent. Dust or maybe mold? Are you allergic to both? I am.

I did laundry today too. Not so much lots of clothes but did sheets, towels and throw rugs. All caught up now. Been working the house for BB's arrival on Wed. Can't wait!

Wow Donna, sounds like a great time this weekend, except for the bad reaction to the tent. Do you have a problem with mildew? That does sound like a strange reaction.

I wonder what that was... I have had reactions similar to that over the years.
