I have been away from Peaceful Highways for far too long. A lot has happened. I started making my hats for kids. I have a small bag full of hats and toys in several different sizes and styles. I try to make them interesting and fun for kids to wear. I sure wish there was no need for hats like these and children everywhere could be healthy, happy and taken care of. In a perfect world...
We went to St. Augustine for the July 4th weekend and had a wonderful time. We spent all of it with our older daughter and her husband. We went out to dinner, kayaked and swam in the ocean. My younger daughter also got to come for one night, which made it even more special. I sure didn't want to come home, I wanted the fun to continue and the wheels to keep on turning!
For the past week my parents have been sick. It started with my mom being hospitalized for stomach pains, which turned out to be diverticulitis. While my dad was visiting her, he went to grab lunch in the hospital cafeteria and within 20 minutes of finishing his lunch; he was vomiting, having uncontrollable diarrhea, and profuse sweating.
The nursing staff rushed him downstairs to the ER where his condition continued to worsen until his blood pressure completely bottomed out and the doctors thought they were going to lose him. Finally, he was stabilized and testing to find out just what was wrong was totally inconclusive. Doctors thought he had a ruptured aortic aneurism, but finally the cardiologist said it was just a very bad case of food poisoning. If that's how bad food poisoning can get, it doesn't inspire one to eat out very often. If a hospital cafeteria isn't safe, where is safe?
It's starting to slow down finally and my parents are on the mend. Thank you Lord! But we are having trouble with the RV, the AC keeps turning off due to popping the breaker and it has been a real chore trying to track down the cause-no definite answers yet. It means I am stuck here pretty much 24/7 unless I want to take the cats with me because the heat is unbearable in here when the AC is off for more than 20 minutes.
Here's to hoping the highway gets peaceful again very soon! Until next time....
