Dental Duty

We accomplished a necessary but not very enjoyable task today: we went to the dentist and got our teeth cleaned. Big thanks to our friends Steve and Jan who drove us to our appointment and picked us up afterwards.  Steve just detailed their truck yesterday, so it really gleamed.

We were hoping to get our truck back this afternoon, but the parts did not arrive today. Claudia tells us that "Ford was closed Thursday, Friday, and Saturday." We assume she means the parts distribution department. So now we're hoping the parts will come in tomorrow morning.

We spent some more time today getting a string of LED lights installed along the bottom edge of the patio screen. We'll need to get another string to finish the other half of the screen.

Terri called today from Singapore to wish us a happy Thanksgiving. We haven't heard her voice in quite a while. She has been off in Australia and New Zealand with her dad and stepmother and a friend for the last month, posting tantalizing photos on Facebook of their adventures. Next Sunday she will be flying to the States for six weeks for the holidays. Quite the world traveler! We are hoping to see her while she is visiting.

I am definitely feeling well, finally. It was a lovely day today. We enjoyed the sunshine and blue skies, which are not forecast to return any time soon. A cold front is dipping into Texas, and it's already bringing some rain to our area.
