Out Ridin' Again

Wow...here it is January 30 and temp in Hutchinson is 64 degrees!!! I'm at this very moment watering my flower bed as we have had virtually NO moisture this year.

Carol, Mary and I took off on a bicycle ride about 1:30 today and it was simply wonderful. I'd had some "oral surgery" done Friday (had two teeth pulled) and although yesterday was beautiful I didn't think it would be wise to go ride. Today I decided I'm well-enough!!! I got home with 21.6 miles and a big ole smile (well....less 2 teeth...no, they're clear at the back) !!!

On Monday mornings four of us "coffee" together. Conversations vary. This morning one of the gals mentioned a friend of hers had false teeth....and that they had buried little magnets in her gums to hold the teeth in place. We were absolutely falling over each other with punch lines. Can't wear zippered tops anymore. Watch out for the doorknob. Can't get the spoon out of my mouth. And it went on and on and on. I think MaryLou may have regretted telling us anything about it!! When we rode this afternoon we started talking and laughing about it again.

As I mentioned I had two teeth pulled Friday. I've been going to a dentist in Cassville, Missouri who I really liked and who was UNBELIEVABLY cheap...yeah..not reasonable, CHEAP! I wasn't unhappy with his work but was told he was retiring, so I made an appointment at Cambridge Dental in Wichita. I've been twice and I'm here to tell ya...I like 'em!!! Everything has been just great. The people are absolutely wonderful, their work is great, the offices are clean and cheerful (albeit HUGE)...and I am 100% happy with them. Dr. Vessali...she's my dentist from now on! And yes, this is an advertisement! :) Well, maybe not...but they really are great.

Count your blessings....stay healthy...eat right...and walk the dog. It's a great life!!
