Ruth: I had such high hopes for you with Tropical Storm Don. Your part of the country just can not catch a break. We had our typical thunderstorm outbreak this afternoon. Happens often if we have a few days of hot, dry weather. We are on the other side of the jet stream, which does not seem to like Texas much this season. Have a nice tree limb straddling the fence=no damage to wires or houses, but yet another thing to add to the list. It never ends. Hopefully our lawn-snow guy can handle this without damaging the fence.

Good news on William's check up. I was also flossing Bruce's teeth, but have switched to those floss picks which he can do himself. His dentist approved. We have to forego the Peridontist for a bit-he totally understands. Once we get off this COBRA and onto Medicare, things will ease up a bit.

Looking into the Nook. Jen picked up the brochure from Barnes and Noble for us, so will get into that. I too am dreading the season changes. Seems like I have had no summer and yet here we are on the edge of fall. Debbie

Ruth, The Dentist, yes, yet another appt. for Larry. Had to cancel last week due to my car being ready for pick up at the same time. The last appt. with his periodontist, I sat in the room with him while the hygenist did the cleaning. When he got ready to get off the chair, I helped him down. He told the dentist, "that's why I brought her along". LOL So, he goes next week and said I could wait in the waiting room. It was too hot to go last week anyway. I wish Larry would get interested in reading again. I would buy him a Nook or Kindle. His biggest interest of course is TV TV TV!
