I had a welcome surprise yesterday at the dentist. The decay beneath two crowns did not require a root canal so it was $1600 less!! My bill was more than half the original for two new crowns but that's a whopping amount saved so I was very pleased. My bigger dental bill for this morning's appointment was cancelled, he is ill. I am holding my breath.
Carole is coming home for a few hours Thursday, mostly to check what needs to be moved or modified for her return in a few months. Also I'm sure, to prove me wrong that her king size bed will interfere with mobility space and her standard bathtub needs replaced with a shower. She likes the fricking pale yellow tile and doesn't want it removed. As Stella (my mom) would say... what a bowida. I have searched and never found a Polish word as this, but that side of my family used it often. We always thought it meant stubborn or foolish or dummy because it was said playfully when we were stubborn or foolish or dummies.
Decided to work on my 1776 free chart that I've wanted to stitch for a long time. Small, quick, easy, and I have unbleached 28 and 30 count, even a small piece of 36. So no linen problems with this one! Mary Bell will be next on the small sheer piece that I gently overdyed yesterday.
Have a great day folks. June is half over and I'm not a happy crab.

Yay on the good news at the dentist...and, yes, Happy Flag Day. ~Robin~
Good news about the Dentist. I went in last week for a new crown when the one next to it came off so now two new crowns. Oh well what can you do. I do love your flag on front door.
Marly, good for you that the dentist appointment went better than expected. It usually doesn’t go that way! But, keeping my fingers crossed that you don’t catch whatever it is the dentist has!! I hope things work out with Carole, for your sake. Thanks for sharing the pictures from the greenhouse. They had interesting combos of plants. Have a good week! Cherie in WI
It will be interesting what has to be changed for Carole to come home. Hopefully not so much it can't be accomplished. Especially if she thinks you and Mark will take care of it all - work & money wise. I hope there's grants or such that can help out with the changes.
Good news on the dental front! It's rare the unexpected news is in patient's favour. I thought I had an appointment yesterday, only to get there and confuse the heck out of the only person at the desk. "We sent out a letter in May" - nope, I never got it. Turns out 2 hygienists are out on maternity leave, 1 out on covid, 1 quit to work at another practice that offered part time hours, leaving one hygienist left. Hopefully the October appointment the receptionist found me will hold up. The receptionist must have been getting yelled at a lot - she kept saying "thank you for being so understanding!".
I have the "1776" and one red stripe left to do. Once I got that first stripe done - easy stitching!
Bravo for the good news, dental bills are so painful, in many ways!!! Hopefully, Carole will realize that she may need to make some concessions if she wants to come home. Keep on stitching madam, you are so productive!
