I am back home on the prairie.  It has been a long day getting here though.  We left Stillwater at 9:00 this morning.  We came to my house and Jim got out of the car.  I headed back to town immediately so I could get to my 12:30 appointment on time.  I didn’t even take time to go into the house before I left.

I had my teeth cleaned at the Vo-Tech.  Anna did a great job and it only took a little over two hours today.  They had a new dentist (t least one I hadn’t seen before).  He was thorough.  I asked him why I have two places that trap food every time I eat.  He said the dentist that put the crowns on didn’t fit them correctly.  The only fix is either two new crowns or modified braces that would pull the teeth together.  Not sure I will spend the money for either solution.

After I was done I went to Walmart and picked up a few groceries and then headed home.  It was so nice to sit in my corner chair after I got home and just sit.  We did manage to walk down to take care of the chickens.  Only picked up two  eggs.  I could tell some Rhode Island Red chickens were missing.

I made chicken Parmesan for dinner.  I got ready to put the Parmesan in it and discovered I didn’t have any.  Then I remembered I had bought it in OK!  Sometimes living in two houses creates problems.  The chicken was good but turned into chicken Marinara instead.

I am tired tonight.  I doubt that I stay awake past 9:00 tonight.  We have been going hard and heavy for the last week or so.  Hoping tomorrow morning we can sleep in and take a quiet day at home.

My shop renter brought my mower back to me this afternoon.  He had taken it to the John Deere dealer a week or so ago.  I called John Deere and gave them my credit card information to pay for the repairs.  It was over $350.  Ouch!  I started the mower and it starts easier than it has since I had it.  Nice to know that it is ready to go when the grass starts growing and mowing season starts.

It was a nice day on the prairie but very windy.  We were going to take a walk but I didn’t have the energy to fight the wind to take a walk.  Maybe tomorrow……

l hope the wind dies down tomorrow so I can get outside and do some deck painting. Most of what I need to do is ladder work and not sure I want to be on a ladder if the wind is 20 plus MPH.  We will see what the day brings.  Jim brought his sander and is hoping to get the last couple of steps sanded so they can get painted.

Grateful to be back on the prairie tonight, grateful for clean teeth, and grateful my mower is ready for mowing season.
