My Swap Goodies & a visit to the ER

My goodies from Old Lady Morgan ~*~ Thanks so much ~*~

What a week it has been ~~~ I will be happy when this one is OVER :) It started on monday when Jason was outside after work around 4:00 , we had a couple guys over looking @ our roof & while he was outside he got bit by some sort of bee in the back of his neck/head ~ He said it felt like a rock being throw at the back of his head ~ Almost instantly, he started getting a horrible rash all over his body & a reaction like never before. Of course, we still have these people on the roof.....finally they leave...I am panicing!! He took some benedril & thought it would be okay, after seeing he get worse & the chills started he was starting to nearly black out, getting nausious, very scary!! We hurried to the Urgent Care,,,,they listened to his symptoms & took his vitals & ordered him to the ER by ambulance!! What??? They said his blood pressure was very low & they were afraid something may happen while I drove him ( even though it was only 20-25 min away ) & his organs may crash!!! I suddenly began to panic all over again & all I could do was want my parents w/ me! So I went in the other room & called them & asked if they would meet us there! He was treated onthe way & slowly began to improve & stayed @ the hospital for another 6 or 7 hrs. He is now on a couple meds for a few days & we have a Epi pen to carry w/ us in case it happens again as they said next time it could be even worse!!! That is super scary to hear as we are only in our 30's ~ Guess the next step will be is to see an allergist & hope they can offer some help!! I just thank GOD that he is okay now as I now know we should have went right away ~~

Onto some much brighter news :))) I finally got around to getting some pictures of my goodies I received from OLM ( Old Lady Morgan ) http://primitivebyoldladymorgan.blogspot.com/ ~*~ I recently took part in a fun Summer Time Swap hosted By Misi @ 1890 Gable House Musings & OLM was my secret partner :) She was VERY generous & I love everything!! It was like Christmas morning ~ Everything was wrapped so nice & labeled, I wish I would of thought to take a pic first, but I just dug right in !!! I have found a home for all of my treasures & even have plans for my Strawberry Daquiri mix she sent me :) heehee !! Love it ~~

Thanks again ~ It was so much fun !!

Have a great day everyone....

We spent the past couple weekends up in the Alleghany Mtns. of PA where my family has had a hunting camp for about 33yrs. now ~ Nice & relaxing, lots of farms & country up there so that means some good yard sales!! Though not as many as we hoped :)
On Memorial day, Jason & I headed do MD to a big auction we used to go to when we lived there, it was sooooo hot ( about 95*) , but we had fun & got some deals so it was worth the sweat !!

Off to grab a little lunch & see what I can get into......
Till next time....

Happy Memorial Day

Wishing you all a wonderful Memorial Day weekend......While enjoying time w/ friends & family please stop & remember the reason for this day!!!

So many men & women have fought & still are fighting for our freedom we always need to keep them in our prayers.....My hubby was in the Navy for 10yrs & now works for the VA, so of course these holidays are always extra meaningful to us :)

It is sure gonna be a hot one here in PA, way too early if you ask me....I am ALMOST ready for some snow to come back....hahaha ~

It is going up to 90,,yuck!! I hope my parents filled up the pool, cause I may be making a visit!!

Been busy hitting some yard sales & auctions, my favorite summer thing to do & need to finish up my summer swap!

Stay safe & I'll talk to ya soon.....

Blessings ~

Sad that it's over.....

Kyser our 9 & 1/2 yr.old Weimerainer waiting to open some presents on Christmas @ our house!!! ~*~

Jason & Megan Christmas 2010 @ Mom & Dad's house

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas ~ It was a very nice weekend, an extra layer of snow fell Christmas morning :) , but now I always get sad that it is over. Soon, I will take down all the decoartions & lights that I just love looking at & the house will seem so bare, but believe me it is far from it ~ hee,hee. I just love this whole season......the warmth & closeness you feel I wish would last all year long!!!

This Christmas was more quaint than the past, but extra special all the same as Granny has done very very after having her bypass surgery in late Aug., but now my Pap has a hernia ( his 4th ) & will need surgery as well, it is always something to worry about, they are both in a lot of pain, but every holiday spent w/ them is a blessing :)

Then we traveled a few miles down the road to my Grandma's old house ( she has now passed a few years back & my uncle lives there ), we stayed a short time, just not the same anymore, came back had a few drinks & snacks..played games & went to bed waiting for Santa to come.

Got an early gift just like when we were little he left us new jammies!!! It is an ongoing joke we have & this year my sister & I were kidding we wanted new jammies on Christmas eve & there they were left outside!!! My dad, he is a real kid at heart too, love him so much!!! He picked out the brighest ones he could find my Mom said :)

Woke up Christmas morning to open presents w/ my family then had dinner @ Granny & Pap's then headed home around 6:00 to have our Christmas at our home just Jason & I w/ our dog Kyser too of course he got presents!!!

We hope you day was filled w/ lots of special family memories & a couple great gifts too & of course taking the time to " Remember the Reason for the Season "

Blessings till next time ~

It's almost here........

Wow ~

I can't believe it is almost Christmas...it seems like December just flies by ~ I will be spending a good part of the week wrapping gifts, doing a little baking, ( and sampling of course ) , as well as stitching up a couple special little gifts as I always do for a few loved ones :)

On saturday night, we decided to have a "date night" granted there are just the 2 of us & our weimer Kyser, so we go out quite often, but we wanted to go somewhere a little different for dinner & further away so we called & made reservations & the little waitress set us up in our own private dining room!!! It was so sweet, she didn't even know how to light an oil lamp, but she did her best, & it was so nice after the smoke cleared,( hee~hee ) I have included a pic of their "famous" gob cake sundae & it was good......wish I had another bite this morning!!

Enjoy the day.....
