Granny got NEW TEETH!

YES!! That's right ladies and gentlemen; granny has new teeth. As most of you know, my grandmother is one of the most beautiful women I've ever met. In her younger days she was exquisite and as with most beauties we have flaws that make us even more enjoyable. I would have to say, Granny's over the years has been her teeth. Granny's vanity is no mystery to anyone, she's know for it.

One day, she and mom are having a discussion about health insurance; specifically dental insurance. I guess Granny believed she didn't need the insurance and was prepared to cancel it. This infuriated mom, someone who doesn't have insurance, and someone who is consistently trying to save a penny (GRANNY) had major conflict on this subject. Fireworks were invoked and well...here's the rest of the story.

A couple days later; granny chipped one of her front teeth - don't ask us how, she just did. She found a new dentist and the dentist played to granny's weakness - her vanity. The dentist commented what a beautiful woman Granny is and that her teeth weren't so beautiful. She recommended crowns for the front of her teeth. Well, the dentist hit her in the right place, and so did the journey for the crowns. Granny is excited she has her dental insurance now - but still does have some expense to this. The pictures are of Granny's new teeth. I must say, she looks so much younger and her smile is more brillant and beautiful than I've seen in a long time.

Enjoy Granny's new TEETH - we do.

OH PS; the day the temporary crowns went in; her upper lip remained swollen; as mom says, she resemebled that of a duck. ha! Yes, we all had our laughs, Anitra heard the story over the phone and lost it completely!

HERE'S GRANNY!

Halloween Housewarming Bash

Halloween is a fun time of year; it's that one time you can dress up as something fun, sexy, devlish and no one seems to think you're insane. It's kinda nice really... ha.

We decided that Halloween would be our deadline to have everything in the house complete. EVERYTHING, boxes unloaded, changes we were making, adding things. Boy it's been rough to accomplish all of it. Justin just finally finished staining the deck, I'm not sure he'll do that adventure again. Any how, here are pictures of our party - had a great turn out. Folks loved the house, and I loved having laughter, noise and people fill our rooms. Great way to break in a home! For those of you who know us for our parties...the legacy lives on.

I'm sorry that a lot of our friends from home and scattered across the US/WORLD couldn't be a part of the ghoulish night, but we know you were here in spirit. :-)

Granny was the Black Widow - of course she had to be something semi-sexy and she was. She also enjoyed being in character; she was after the men that night. Go granny go!

I was a witch - I'm totally in love with my hat; it'll be around for a while. ha!

Justin - Napoleon Dynamite, I love my husband

JS - Pancake girl! I love JS' ingenius ways. Here in Kansas there is an International Pancake Race every year in a town by the name of Liberal. Liberal in fact is where she hails from and her mother has run this race. The race is also held in England - the time of the runners is decided, the winner is declared the International winner. Pretty cool!
Enjoy!
