Who would think that THIS
Could land you HERE???
Well this is a Hall hand AND if it can happen, it will happen at the Hall House!!!
If you know A you know he loves a gadget! Especially a kitchen gadget! I do not use the mandoline (too sharp for me!). A was preparing potatoes for the grill Saturday night and you know a knife just doesn't get the slices even so he had to use the mandoline and I mean it is not cool to use the guard! I joke, but really it was not funny! He cut the end of his finger off. Yes, the entire tip of his finger. As in, a chunk laying there! As in, blood everywhere! As in, I almost fainted. I told him immediately he had to go to the hospital but he did not think that was necessary. So, about 2 hours later when he unwrapped the bandaging we had on it that was soaked with blood it was spewing blood with each beat of his hurt. He then knew he had to go to the ER. He drives himself to the ER and a couple of shots later they cauterize it. Sends chills up my spine thinking about it! He said they could not believe how much of his finger he had cut off. They told him he would be in a lot of pain soon and wrote him a couple for prescriptions for pain meds and told him to immediately go get them so he had to make that 1 hour each way trek to the nearest open pharmacy. Of course he had to preach Sunday morning and thankfully he made it through without too much pain. It has hurt some off and on but much more this afternoon than it has. He looks really pale and I think it is from losing all that blood. This picture was taken today after he had re-bandaged it. I regret I didn't get a picture of the bright purple bandaging they put on at the hospital! I had already gotten him out a purple shirt for Sunday so they got a kick out of him coordinating with his bandage! SO, after only 3 weeks of living here our registration is complete at the local ER and this is why I was insistent that our insurance coverage not lapse for 1 minute in our transition! I know the Hall's!!!

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I have often thought I would like one of those gadgets, but not now! Bless his heart (& finger)! So sorry y'all had to go through that!!! Hope he heals up quickly!
I love your "We Love Summer" post! So cute!!! I'm glad those girls are loving the country! I'm surprised y'all have mosqitos...we only had them bad when it rained, once it dried out it was rather nice to not have to battle them. And yes, watch out for snakes...we've already had one live one and one dead one around here but not poisonous. I have seen dead rattle snakes though on our Glenwood road, so I know they are around...yuck!!!
NO Shannon you do not want one! HA! Actually they do a great job BUT...
Yes, they are loving it. Shannon, I have NEVER seen mosquitos like these! You can walk out the door and they will just be covering you! They say it is like this every year around this time but I think they are worse because they have had a lot of rain. It is starting to get drier so I am sure we will not have as many then. Our neighbor found 2 rattlesnakes in his flower beds and a lady from the church who lives just down the road got bit by a rattlesnake! We stay on the lookout as much as we can without freaking out! Seems like you always see them on the Glenwood road. Yuck is right!!!
