His assistant, Cindy, is that good!  Especially in light of the fact that an “implant’ has to be placed in your bone…as in screwed in….the bone….with a little bitty rachet sort of thingy…then there were a few stitches…some blood…who knew? Oh, and  I should mention that the part of my tooth that broke was still in there and had to be removed…I think the proper terminology is “surgically remove erupted tooth”…</font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Lucida Handwriting">didn’t hurt one bit…</font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Lucida Handwriting">SO!  We are in the 6 month waiting process now….thankfully his staff created a wonderful temporary for me to wear in the meantime….did I mention it was my FRONT tooth??  Okay….just checking…I do NOT want to be called  SNAGGLE….just sayin’…</font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Lucida Handwriting">In other areas of my life, Cameron’s sweet, precious, gorgeous girlfriend, Malory got a scholarship to play volleyball!  We are thrilled to the moon and back for her and I went to the signing yesterday…</font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Lucida Handwriting"></font></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-_TWrSUiqqxM/T6vr-hLHCHI/AAAAAAAAF3U/xK2lkPYqJKg/s1600-h/DSCF0536%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><font size="3" face="Lucida Handwriting"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-_TWrSUiqqxM/T6vr-hLHCHI/AAAAAAAAF5E/z8Rea9IsZZM/s1600-h/DSCF0536%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCF0536" border="0" alt="DSCF0536" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-42zb-PTPGC4/T6vr_PE3dXI/AAAAAAAAF5I/QGYHXFt12Z0/DSCF0536_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="443" height="333" /></a></font></a></p> <p><font size="3" face="Lucida Handwriting"></font></p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-xcvyLLcQ3WM/T6vr_4I4wwI/AAAAAAAAF3k/L_ICq7UFcas/s1600-h/DSCF0543%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><font size="3" face="Lucida Handwriting"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-xcvyLLcQ3WM/T6vr_4I4wwI/AAAAAAAAF5M/vextUtnFCiw/s1600-h/DSCF0543%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCF0543" border="0" alt="DSCF0543" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Ty17WzsqIGg/T6vsAZjzTKI/AAAAAAAAF5Q/3pvbiWRpSrI/DSCF0543_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="444" height="334" /></a></font></a></p> <p><font size="3" face="Lucida Handwriting"></font></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-v5-X5-ShiQQ/T6vsBdy4udI/AAAAAAAAF30/WrgkIcriXdI/s1600-h/DSCF0545%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><font size="3" face="Lucida Handwriting"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-v5-X5-ShiQQ/T6vsBdy4udI/AAAAAAAAF5U/ztwNESx8NpM/s1600-h/DSCF0545%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCF0545" border="0" alt="DSCF0545" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Hz8zoGJZlq8/T6vsB7WBP8I/AAAAAAAAF5Y/bUbz-s5myh0/DSCF0545_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="436" height="328" /></a></font></a></p> <p><font size="3" face="Lucida Handwriting"></font></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-G8leD6k8BfA/T6vsCt0_7kI/AAAAAAAAF4E/FuHV8A9Rjv8/s1600-h/DSCF0556%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><font size="3" face="Lucida Handwriting"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-G8leD6k8BfA/T6vsCt0_7kI/AAAAAAAAF5c/e_E7ZAIlscg/s1600-h/DSCF0556%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSCF0556" border="0" alt="DSCF0556" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-8NQcDO1AMgY/T6vsDa2xCbI/AAAAAAAAF5g/08CAdz688W4/DSCF0556_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="448" height="337" /></a></font></a></p> <p><font size="3" face="Lucida Handwriting"></font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Lucida Handwriting"></font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Lucida Handwriting"></font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Lucida Handwriting"></font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Lucida Handwriting">Words do not begin to express how excited we are for Malory or how blessed I feel to have her in my life.

I never go there that I don’t buy something from this particular dealer.  So I thought I would share the few small things that I did manage to find, fall in love with and purchase.</font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Lucida Handwriting"></font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Lucida Handwriting">I got both, this little bowl and the dog from the dealer I mentioned above.  I had to work to get that bowl, let me tell you.  It was inside a china cabinet and the door was stuck, so I was trying to unstick the door without everything falling off, and then snake my arm inside past a bunch of stuff to get said bowl.  But I did persevere and it was only $4.  Love that.  I also got the little dog in there…actually I got three dogs…I seem to be on a dog jag…..what’s up with that?  I have cats!</font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Lucida Handwriting"></font></p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-L4sc-jLbpKU/TxRJV7dAIyI/AAAAAAAAEtM/f5nRX-HCbM8/s1600-h/1.16.12%252520005%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><font size="3" face="Lucida Handwriting"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-L4sc-jLbpKU/TxRJV7dAIyI/AAAAAAAAEvk/kDv3aXheLSQ/s1600-h/1.16.12%252520005%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;
