A Great Day
This morning, I took the car and went to the grocer’s. First time the car had been out of the garage since Thanksgiving 2023. It felt wonderful
The dentist here in town called this morning and on the 25th of March will be my first appointment in regard to having the last three real teeth out of my mouth.
This Easter could well harken back to the Easter of 1966. Orlin and I were hosting my entire family for Easter.
—The day before that Easter I had been at Dr. Wegner’s dental office in Buffalo Lake, MN. I had had the last of my top teeth pulled over the weeks prior. The fittings that Saturday were in full gear via impressions.
With no medical appointments when I became pregnant with our first child, the baby took what it needed from me for nourishment. I should have been on vitamins. During the last two months of pregnancy, I had no front teeth. Nothing could be done further with my teeth until after I had given birth.
My dad, fantastic Raymond, gave us a small Holstein calf to raise to pay my dentist’s bill. That didn’t happen over night. About the time that Dr. Wegner was going to turn my bill over to the collection agency, the calf went to the Hutchinson’s sale barn. Whew!
We had a great Easter Sunday with or without teeth.
— That may well be the situation for Easter Sunday 2024.
If that is the case, it won’t bother me one bit. In those 68 years, the lesson is, . . . gathering for this Easter is to celebrate life with family. Eating can be done anywhere, any time.
Dennis is at the Legion Club this late afternoon and evening. It is the annual Watonwan County Game and Fish Club’s annual meeting. Dennis is in charge of all the give-away items for the kids that come with their parents. He gets the biggest kick out of watching the diligence that some kids take in choosing a free item.
I have had a great day and seeing Dennis enthused about being out and about . . . perfect.
