Home safe from Spokane

Well the trip to Spokane was smooth and I have returned home safe. Margaret went through her tests fine but they still did not find what could be causing her troubles. That is a worry but a least no surgery for now. Her son took her home about 6:30 last night. I got to spend the 21/2 hours with her while she was waiting to be released. Thank-you all for surrounding her and Toni just how did you know that I went up there just to see the "feisty" come back? That was exactly what I was looking for in her and she had it in spades the longer I talked to her. Bless you all and keep the faith. Oh and I had a wonderful visit with my youngest daughter last nite and this morning on my way back home life is good. ER

Thank-you everyone for your thoughts and prayers for Margaret. My husband located the hospital they took her to. I was able to talk to her. They are setting her up for an angiogram tomorrow morning and another stress test. I will be driving up to Spokane in the morning so I can see how she is doing for myself and to tell her how much I love her. Her son answered the phone when I called which means he did not listen to her when she told him not to fly in from Seattle. I love sons like that don't you? I can feel your warmth here and I know she will too.

Last night my friends historical old barn burned to the ground on her homestead. During all the chaos of the fire she started experiencing chest pains. My husband was there as an emt fireman and they took her to the local hospital to observe her overnite. When we went up to check on her this morning they were going to airlift her to Spokane for further testing. They would not let me into see her. Margaret is the closest person I have to a mother she will be 76 this year and she looks 55. Her love for life adds so much to my life. All of the cuttings in my yard are from her garden. Please pray for Margaret.

The Dowager

Category: Our Old House | Posted: Sun Nov 12, 2006 4:18 pm

Our house was built in 1920 it is a blond solid brick prairie four-square. We were contentedly living in a 105 year old gothic farmhouse two blocks away when "The Dowager" came up for auction and this is where the story began. The farmer husband came into church where I was crafting and said "I think I will pick up a cashiers check so I can bid on one of those houses in the auction that okay with you?" We had already talked about maybe helping the young man working with us into a house so I agreed and then didn't give it too much thought. As the day progressed and I didn't hear from him again I started to get a little nervous and he has a reputation of just making his mind up on the spot so my wife's intuition told me maybe I better quit crafting and make my way down to the auction. Well to make a long story short I was in the auction building just in time to hear the gavel fall as my husband won the bid on "The Dowager". It is a good thing that my oldest daughter was beside me because I nearly fainted right on the spot. Two weeks before this I had just finished the final room in our victorian where we had lived for eight years!
