The Progeny
Just an ordinary day
Well, except for Kendra getting the last wisdom tooth extracted. But that went very well. I didn't even have time to sit down and do my crossword after hitting Wal*Mart, Goodwill and the grocery store.
That baby was pulled out in less than 15 minutes, start to finish. The only reason I had time for retail therapy was that they asked to do her regular check and clean, first.
I returned to the dentist office and heard one of nurses leaving a message for someone to call back, and discovered she was calling my phone! There was Kendra, sitting in the reception area, looking quite pert for someone with a wad of gauze in her mouth.
For some reason my phone was set to "vibrate," or I probably would have heard the call that Kendra was done. But no harm. She only had to wait 5 minutes.
As we walked to the car, Kendra commented, "Boy, that nitrous oxide is great! Wish I had some of that to put me to sleep every night..." Said she had the urge to break out in laughter with the gas, too.
What a nice change from her first episode of wisdomic teethshattering and smashing pulling. I doubt the dentist even minded when he noticed her checking her pulse, heh, heh. Probably expects that from our family, by now.
On the sickie front, Nolan is fairly miserable with a head cold. Large doses of videos and sniffing seem to help, but in the end, he's just going to have to wait it out.
Thankfully, Ethan and Carolyn aren't sick (yet), allowing them to make a batch of bread. Ethan also helped with more mowing, today. It's not nearly so bad when you only mow for an hour and there's no heat advisory.
Who knew?
Melinda has been picking raspberries, and as I may have mentioned before, they are simply luscious added to plain yogurt with a bit of sugar. YUM!
We also had squash, cucumbers and tomatoes from the garden, for lunch. The tomatoes are on their last legs however, thanks to the blight. There's always next year. I have a fool proof plan!
I mean besides not planting them.
In upcoming events, our school will (theoretically) start in two weeks. I'll just have to see if there's enough energy. Feeling somewhat punk, zip-wise, and the random aches and pains of this ol' body are not helping me get my old spunk, back. I may have to break down and lose weight, who knows...
Yep. Just as soon as I feel up to it.

Ok, I am eager to know what this new plan of yours is for keeping the blight out of the tomatoes.
Or, is it patent protected?
Quite simple, really. I saw the principle illustrated at the Bremer County Extension gardens.
You take a big bag of potting soil, lay it flat on the ground, cut off some of the top plastic, and plant seeds or seedlings right into the soil of the bag.
New soil means no leftover fungus from other years, and presto, no blight!
(at least, that's the theory)
I figure 4-6 bags will do the trick, each one harboring it's own tomato plant.
"That baby was pulled out in less than 15 minutes..."
I shouldn't read so early in the morning. I was like, "Wha? Who had a baby? Kendra?? OOOH, a tooth."
LOL.
Ha! Yes, I thought of that as I was rereading just now, before I saw your comment.
