Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign. Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started. Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture. It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha! All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history. Too bad so many have been neglected. Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere. Just interesting observations. I was taken so much with Hingham because we lived there for 5 weeks and it was so CLEAN! Loved the manicured yards and over 1800 historic homes and some still in residence of 13 generations! That is something in this young country with so littl
What a crazy week this has been. It began with our trip to Rocky Mountain National Park that I enjoyed as best I could with Early left in the car with the shakes and wrapped in a wool blanket. After a few days he noted his leg hurt and was afraid he had a blood clot. After looking at his leg that had turned bright red and terribly swollen we drove into town to call the nurse on the hot line. She suggested we go straight to ER but he felt ok and leg didn't itch - just red and swollen? What is going on - so that evening (our last night in area) we had dinner with nephew Jim and his little family. He and son Cole (who will be 1 this month) greeted us and when wife Theresa (doctor in family) came home from work she went straight to looking at Earl. She freaked out and immediately called ER and insisted on coming with us to see the doctors there. What a long evening as you can imagine if you have ever been in an ER! Theresa's being a doctor helped to speed things up some but still took time. They did an ultra sound and did find a blood clot and released him with 3 prescriptions... Oh fun so next morning we had the prescriptions filled and were on our way - back to the house and resident doctor! We did make it back to AZ in 2 1/2 days of long hours of driving. Oh my goodness, not a fun way to travel. Still have to see doctor but we are here and all is ok for now. More later....
