I arrived home from my trip yesterday and am anxious to get back to work in my house and on my art.
Here's a quick synopsis of my time away.
Took a lot of pictures of old houses...
Kids fished a lot
We painted wooden fish...
Saw a lot of sunsets..
Worked on projects with grandkids..
Did I mention fishing?
More sunsets...
Paper crafts..
Fun with family..
Drank a little wine..(actually brought two of these bottles home..so it wasn't that much!!)
Went to the beach at Lake Michigan...but didn't swim.
Sleeping Bear Dunes..
Traverse City Cherries.
.
The cottage
I had a really nice week with my family. Never made it to Ludington because of the weather. Didn't get to swim either, which was disappointing to me, since that is my favorite thing to do on vacation, but the summer isn't over with yet!
Most of the week went smoothly except for Tuesday evening when my granddaughter Kara, had an allergic reaction to something, (we think nuts) and started to itch and swell. Her little eyes looked like slits and she had hives all over her body. My sister called 911 to ask where the nearest hospital was and they informed us that it would take at least a 1/2 hour for us to get there, so they sent an ambulance. The operator told us to watch her breathing.
Since we were back along the lake, and the directions were confusing, I drove to the main entrance and waited for the ambulance. My granddaughter had gone from itching and crying wildly to being very quite. As we sat on the dark road (it was 1:30 a.m.) my mind started to go over the CPR training I receive once a year. Is it 3o compressions to two breaths or 15 to one? They keep changing the cycles and I didn't remember. Luckily, the ambulance got there in about 15 minutes.
Even though she was breathing well and the worst was over, the paramedics and my daughter decided to take her to the hospital. My daughter rode in the ambulance and I followed. My nephew was with me and he proved to be a big help. Kara seemed fine by the time the Dr. looked at her and she announced, "I"m ready."
My daughter asked her what she was ready for and she sighed, "to go home."
After receiving medication and instructions, we headed back to the cabin. It was 4:45 a.m.
All is well that ends well. However, it made me realize that the next vacation I take will be a little closer to a big city, just in case!
I've yearned for my clay all week, so I'll be back to blog about that later on!
