I happens in three. Seems that is what everyone says about deaths. And so it goes. One of Mark's golfing friends, a co-worker's son, and my cousin's in-law and friend of ours. The first was someone who gave up on life. The second was to drugs which is happening every week in this area, and the last was a beautiful woman who took one step in the wrong direction causing a backward fall.
I know many of you enjoy walking through cemeteries and taking note of the old stones and dates. I've lived here all my life and have never driven through this one, the largest I've ever seen, set behind homes off a narrow street. The monuments are amazing, the hills, landscape, the stone chapel. I should have taken a few photos while the pink dogwoods were ablaze. Maybe tomorrow. The wealthy families from years ago to present day whose namesakes are streets, banks, and stores, and unusually shaped stones that I have never seen before dominate. Need to return.
Here's some information for you about dental crap. Are you a Costco club member? We weren't, but are now. The closest one is over an hour from here but items can also be ordered online. Basic membership is $55 a year. But. A benefit of that is their dental plan. For two people, $135 a YEAR. $0 deductible. The catch is that you must go to a participating dentist which you can find on their site or call. Once you choose, if you change your mind and prefer a different participating dentist, you must call with the change. The amount you pay for crowns, cleaning, fillings, dentures, is drastically less. Really. $200 for the first year (membership+plan+$10 fee) is still less than $20 a month for two people. There are also family options. For the cost of dental work, well worth looking into and having to go to a participating provider. Go to their website for details, click on SERVICES, then dental. It's not an insurance plan with co-pays, it is a discount plan that accepts specified amounts.
My tooth seems to be electrified from some unknown source, but the severe pain is gone. Next Tuesday I will see my perio guy (I like him) and he will evaluate the possibility of an implant. He also agreed to do the extraction in a week or so. I'm more comfortable with him and will be glad to wait.
No projects started yet. I am thinking about charting another miniature. If I did the odd shape of a pear once a month, why not a miniature? A little late in the year to start a monthly ornament for a feather tree but what the hell? If I do I do if I don't I don't. To me, a sampler contains the alphabet and trying to vary that over and over for such a small design may not be easy.
Bought flowers today wearing a heavy jacket in cold winds. Got Carole's for her, and decided to stop procrastinating, over thinking colors. I just bought what I always do - Vista Bubblegum Petunia. The pink is outstanding, the growth better than any other petunia, and one fills a barrel. So I bought 3 hanging baskets and one in fuchsia, that's it. I waste too much time trying to mix and plan when in the end, half do not do well. I can always count on the Bubblegum.
Jean Bee, you are no-reply, no email listed in your profile, I cannot answer your inquiry.
That's it. Hope your week's end leads to a fabulous weekend.

I think there was another cat ruckus in the few hours I was gone today. Benches were moved, water dish upset, didn't see any fur clumps. So as soon as I could entice them inside with treats, I slammed the door behind them. They cried at the door for a while until I tricked them into the garage. Then they howled in there. Old man Bud will still come in and sleep most of the day but Nitzy, forget it. He cries until I put his food outside, will not come in. No way can I get the flea meds on him let alone the worm pill down his throat. I've wasted so many in food, bacon grease, chicken fat, but that tongue can lick a dish clean without touching the pill. If I crush it, he leaves it all.
