Glasses is the theme today...
Popi had an "oops" with Emma. They were standing over a nice deep culvert where a stream runs under the road in an alley near the store. Popi was squatted down next to Emma while she was throwing rocks. With one toss she swiped the glasses right off of Popi's face and into the stream seven or eight feet below. Thank goodness the water level is down now or it would have been all over.

Popi called me over so I could try and spot the glasses in the water since he couldn't see worth a hoot without them. He climbed down in the culvert, suit coat, shiny shoes and all. I finally spotted them in the middle of the stream. He was able to retrieve them handily. He even managed to climb up out of there with a minimum of fuss. Yay, Popi! I was willing to go down for him but it would have been ugly because I was wearing moc/clog type shoes with no back. Not the greatest for climbing on rocks.

In the end it turned out to be only a minor catastrophe.
