Dentist Appt. And A Surprise Harvest

Henri and I always make our dental appointments back to back. Today I was first. Here's the view from one of the dental chairs. I wasn't in this one today, but I wanted you to see the chair I had my root canal in one time.

Henri waiting for his turn. He's next.

Now I get to sit and catch up on my favorite magazine while I'm waiting for him.

Back home I fixed us a healthy lunch. There's even one for our parrot Simon.

Except Simon didn't get the blackened salmon with his.

After lunch, we decided to do a little yard work since it was so warm out. High 40s.

We had a few downed trees from recent high winds. Henri gets out the chainsaw.

I went to my garden to survey what I could begin doing. That's when I found this surprise harvest of new red potatoes left from last season's garden. I guess they aren't really "new" anymore.

After I cleaned them up with my potato scrubber, these were the only ones that were still firm and had a good color.

Just enough to make a mini potato salad for tomorrow's lunch.

We like a lot of eggs on it. I got a little carried away with the paprika too.

Every Six Months

Sugar is my weakness so it's a good thing we have a dentist right here in Sorrento, who sends out reminders to me just so I won't forget I have a dental appointment coming up.

Our dentist is right on the corner of Main Street and Ocean Avenue.

When we go for our daily walk, I have a habit of bringing along a piece of candy with me.

And I always carry my cell phone too. Our dentist likes to send out text messages to remind us when we have an upcoming appointment along with the post card reminder.

I'm sure the dentist didn't notice I was eating a tootsie roll pop today as we were walking by.

In the summer months, here's the view from the dentist office.

It's no wonder, we don't mind going to the dentist twice a year here in Sorrento.
