We had fun Wednesday. The water was wonderful, what with our heat wave. There are heat warnings in 7 provinces and 2 territories.
The dinner the girls made us was wonderful!
Isabelle brought home a dead crayfish, as well as some rocks. She named it Tobias III. There isn't a Tobias I or II. We popped him into a jar with rubbing alcohol.
Thursday, Isabelle had a read on the lower deck while Josephine finished her painting.

After I booked an emergency appointment with the opthamologist, we were trying to decide what to do. Swimming or thrifting in Perth. Thrifting won out!
They brought all their loot up from their Monday thrift.

I had two issues: 1. Floaters in my eyeballs. 2. Turns out my cataracts are coming back, as well. My cataract surgery was at the end of July, 2020.
The floaters should dissipate. I have PCO. PCO is posterior capsular opacification, or a secondary cataract, a clouding of the thin membrane or lens capsule that surrounds the implant. I'll have laser surgery, again, in Smiths Falls. I've another appointment in a month to check it all again and see where we are.
We took off to CC's in Rideau Ferry. Outside there was a white van with the motor running. Inside the van were dogs barking. I presume they were keeping the air conditioning on. Has anyone ever heard of Climate Change?
Our favourite table was reserved. Apparently, businesses can sponsor a table and have the ability reserve it. We've been strong supporters of this restaurant. It was a bit of a shock. You can see that the table where we were sitting was similarly sponsored.
There were several large groups of cottagers and multigenerational families. Good to see them busy, but service was a bit slow. Jos wanted to get back to the house as she was doing Facetime with a friend.
Our week with them is over today. There is just the hostage exchange this afternoon. We shall miss them, but very much enjoyed the visit. How they have grown and matured. I am a bit emotional about it!

i’ve had floaters forever and thought that everybody of a certain age had the same experience to some degree.

It seems the whole world is hot this week, even the UN have commented. What time young ladies your grandies are becoming! YAM xx
How great to share time for a whole week with the grand girls. Love the 10 years ago photo too. Hope those floaters stop bothering you. I'm sorry to hear cataracts can return! yuk!
...all good things come to an end.
You made more good memories.
Glad you had your eyes looked at never thought about cataracts returning
The " J's" have it together.My Optometrist told me I will also need laser surgery at some time.Yes, August will be here so soon, and I am guessing it will be a fleeting visit, in NZ, there are speed limits in so many of the small towns to pass through. Several years ago we had a family from Maine stay, and he was amazed at how much longer the trip had taken, when compared with mileage back home.He hadn't realised all those small town reduced speed limits would make the trip SO much longer.Love the family photos.
You are very lucky to have them in your life. Thank you for sharing them with us. Hope all goes well with your appointment dear Jenn.
Aloha!
I enjoyed sharing all your fun with the girls1 The swimmng looks great.
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
It has looked and sounded like a wonderful week. I am glad that it seems your eye issues can be addressed (and also didn't know that cataracts can return).
I've had a floater in my left eye for probably 20 years. He looks like a slender bug with one antenna on it. Sometimes it seems to get smaller. I had cataract surgery on both eyes, and when the capsule holding the new lens wanted to get to tight and foggy, they did that laser zapping too. No problems. Linda in Kansas
Cataracts can come back? Damn!
Love the swimming video and the dinner looks delicious.
Cooler today, but we're in a tornado watch.
I'm way behind reading.
