Merry Christmas Everyone!

This will surely be a memorable Christmas! A few days ago we were gifted some peanut brittle and I decided to try some and it was delicious. There was a piece in my mouth that was harder than others and I discovered it was a tooth out of my upper denture! So what to do! I went online and did see where some people had used super glue with success so I gave that a try. It worked for a short while but I could tell it was not a permanent fix. On Christmas Eve morning we went to Mexico in the hopes a dentist would be open and could repair it. Not many were open but we did find one and settled in for a long sit waiting while they hustled around finding people to come to work. It finally all came together and we were back on track. And peanut brittle is a thing of the past for me.
Mexico on Christmas Eve is a good experience. The street traffic is light and everyone is particularly cheerful. We may do that again but without the stress of wondering if we can get any sort of task completed.
Another interesting bit of all this is our friends Dave and Liz along with their company Ron and Diane came to the dentist at the very same time we were there! Liz had broken a piece off a tooth and had to have it pulled. Her situation was much more serious than mine and more of an ordeal. She is on the road to recovery now.
And in the midst of all this our friends Myron and Susan came over for a visit on Sunday and when it came time for them to go their truck would not start. After some inspection time it was discovered they needed a new starter. Long story shorter they decided to come back for their truck on you guessed it, Christmas Eve! And Butch so wanted to help with this and we were stuck sitting in Mexico with me and my denture. In other words, he was antsy as all get out the whole time. And when we finally did get back we found the work in process. I knew friends from Magnolia would help Myron in whatever way he needed and that was the case.
Here is a photo of Myron and the legs of Wayne Bruun getting down to business on the truck.
So Christmas 2018 is already one to be remembered.
