Girls Day Out AKA Did This REALLY Happen?

Friday Patty and I were going to have a girls day!  After her eye appt. in Mapleton, we headed to Tecamah, NE (which is only 45 minutes away) to The Master's Hand - a gift shop and restaurant!

The place was cute as can be - lots and lots of unique items one could buy - it was so fun to just walk around and look at it all!

We had reservations for lunch and I loved the chandeliers in the dining room!

They only serve one main entree per day - keeps it simple!!  We started with yummy drinks - I had peach lemonade and it was awesome!!  Then it was on to our fresh fruit cup and then the entree of homemade chicken and noodles over mashed potatoes and bacon green beans - it was all delicious!  But then came dessert - we had a hard time deciding but finally we both chose the chocolate cake that was served with coffee - they were both outstanding!!

I would definitely love to go back to this place again!!  We checked out the bathrooms too - how awesome is this?

We were about 15 minutes out of Onawa when Patty got the phone call from brother Jim that Leonard had fallen off of a ladder and Jim's son was bringing him to the ER in Onawa.  5 minutes later, Glenn called and said his mom had collapsed and the ambulance was on its' way to bring her to the ER!  REALLY?????  Two of them heading to the ER at the same time.

We arrived just as Leonard was being wheeled in to the ER -  and a few minutes later Lolly arrived on a stretcher with Glenn close behind!!  Patty and I spent the next 2 hours going from room to room.  Leonard broke his leg - extremely swollen and they couldn't do much but put him in a boot till the swelling goes down.  He was to see the orthopedic surgeon on Monday to see if he needed surgery.

Lolly was kept overnight for observation - the doctor really didn't come up with anything.  Not sure if a new medication was affecting her or if this was just a fluke but a close eye will be kept on her!

We did have plans for dinner and our farm meeting at a newer restaurant in Woodbine with Jim's but of course we had to cancel that.  Glenn and I ended up bringing chicken and broasted potatoes from Michael's and the 6 of us sat around Patty's table for our farm meeting!  Leonard was feeling pretty good but of course his leg was sore and needed to be elevated!!

Glenn made the rounds on Saturday - checking in on his mom at Onawa, going to Moorhead Days in Moorhead and then on to Little Sioux, his hometown for Little Sioux Homecoming, an annual event.  I chose to stay at Patty's and relax........................

Sunday we were up bright and early for the journey back home!!  This time we took the interstate to make a little better time - I always enjoy seeing the wind turbines!!

Our trip home was uneventful (which is always a good thing) and we were glad to be back home in Colorado by early evening!
