JANUARY 2023

I keep trying to post the attached without luck. One more try here! By my nephew, who's now 60-ish.

BEECH:
Ouch! OUCH!! I think I am having a PTSD episode after reading that! Good writing, terrible experience. Congrats on figuring out how to post that!

The college dentist we had was big on removing wisdom teeth. He got 3 of mine in one visit. Two did need to be removed, they were growing in sideways and shredding my cheek. I think he took the other because he could. He wanted to take out Donnie's wisdom teeth, too, but Donnie said no. He still has all his teeth with no problems. Strangely, I don't remember it being so bad removing my wisdom teeth. I only remember the horrendous taste in my mouth for days afterward.

Whatever happened to laughing gas? I never got any of that and there were times I sure should have had something!


ELLEN:
56 degrees this afternoon. That won't last, but it is sure pleasant.

Oh gads I never want to see a dentist again...................so true, I'm aghast.

I have been very fortunate in the dental department.  Only one cavity and one tooth removed. Neither caused any pain at all, which I admit came as a surprise. A welcome surprise.

It's been cold here for several days, with more to come. They were originally expecting 10 degrees by Wednesday, but that has been moderated upward a few degrees. There is snow happening on and off, but no big accumulations.

I've been knitting a baby sweater and bonnet for a younger cousin's new baby girl. And, Neighbor Patrick needs a new baking apron, so I embroidered one for his Wednesday birthday. "STRESSED SPELLED BACKWARDS IS DESSERTS". He is a great baker so it fits him to a tee.

I'm right there with ARK having the PTSD episode. My follow up appointment to have the crown put on and a cavity filled is on February 8. I'll let you know how close my experience is to BEECH's Nephew.

INDYAPP:
 I will keep my fingers crossed for you at the dentist....


I rode Ivan yesterday afternoon.  I really need to take him somewhere off property,  he thinks a few minutes in the arena is all he should do.  We rode about a half hour and he did pretty good, but kept sidling up to where I get off of him to remind me to get off soon.  
Donnie has taken hundreds of pictures of Ivan and me and has seemingly run out of original ideas to make them different.  So he took this one:



It's what Ivan thinks is his most important body part. Or what Donnie thinks Ivan thinks, anyway.

That's a funny picture.

It's cold here. That's all that needs to be said.

I think the caption for that picture is "Got Treats?"

INDYAPP:
Yep, that's Ivan's favorite question!


Time to change the calendar. Good riddance January! It's my least favorite month. Now the days are getting obviously longer and spring is in the realm of possibilities.
