ER & Carriage House Inn

We got a call late last night from our daughter saying she had a lot of spots on her neck and chest, plus she had a neck pain that was really bad.  Gerry and Cassie talked a while and checked online what it might be and the symptoms pointed toward a few possible problems.  We finally convinced her to go to the ER and get it looked at by a real doctor.

We drove to the ER to see how she was doing and they had her back checking what the problem was.  They would only let two people see her at a time, so we sat in the car while waiting for our turn in with her.  Jack called and said they diagnosed her rash as a staff infection.  A couple shots of anitbiotics and she sent her on her way home.  We also headed back to the cabin and got home around 1:15am.  Tired, but glad to hear it wasn't something more serious.

A couple weeks ago we arranged to meet some old friends that I worked with for over 20 years.  Cathy lives in Maryland and Jim & Marilyn, a couple, live in Virginia.  They drove over 90 miles to meet us at the Carriage House Inn in Emmitsburg, MD for lunch.  

We opened the place and almost stayed until the dinner hour.  It was a great lunch and non stop conversation went on for about 4 hours.  It was really great seeing them and catching up on what has been going on with their families.  Looking forward to doing it again when we get back in the area. 

There is also a group that meets the first Wednesday of the month in the Virgina area since most of our coworkers lived in Virginia.  We've been to a couple of the luncheons, but since we sold our home in 2006 it has been difficult to attend them.  It looks like we will have to make a special effort to attend one of the luncheons when we get back in the area next summer.

Then it was back to the cabin since I had called a tree cutting service and they were coming out to give me an estimate.  Not only did they give me the estimate, they cut down 4 of the 6 trees that I want removed.  They cut them into fireplace lengths and stacked the logs near our firewood pile.  Saturday they will come back and take care of the remaining two trees.  This will help us get the motorhome out of the parking area up here.  It is a very tight fit to park this motorhome here and I don't want to damage it.  

Now to get the porch roof repaired and then we can get out here.  It seems that we come back to have repairs done and then turn around and leave.  Something is wrong with what is going on.

The weather has been super here on the mountain with low humidity, nice daytime temps and cool nights.  Our neighbor said they are calling for frost tonight or this weekend in northern PA.  Yuk, time to hit the road.

It's hard to believe, but this is my 800th posting in the blog.  It seems like yesterday that I was trying to figure out how to create and publish the first posting.  

That was our day, how was yours?
