Springville Folkfest Friday July 30

Another day of no morning practices, so after sleeping in and a breakfast of American Omelettes we were off to play Laser Tag. We all met at Nickel City and while they played I ran some errands for work and then went back to Nickel City to wait for them and hand sewed several patches onto Miguel's cape. Then it was back home to get ready for the potluck at Carol's house. Carol lives in Mapleton and lives in a house that was built in the 1880's. It is beautifully restored. We all just sat around, ate, visited, and enjoyed the music the Spaniards played. They truly love playing their instruments and singing. After a great afternoon it was off to the Art's Park and another great night of performances. The Spaniards are very good at adapting and that is what Antonio and Javier did due to Antonio's sore shoulder. He could still dance and play the tambourine, just not throw the cape.

Dennis woke up this morning feeling very sick with the flu, but he went to work anyway. As the day wore on, he got worse, and was dehydrated from all the throwing up and diarrhea. He couldn't get hold of the doctor, so he went to the emergency room and spent several hours there. I wasn't able to be with him as I was busy with the Spaniards. He had to have a neighbor bring him home from the hospital because he couldn't drive due to the drugs they gave him, then he spent the rest of the afternoon/evening on the couch sleeping until we got home around midnight.
