I broke a tooth this morning. I attacked a chuck of frozen chocolate and the chocolate won. It looks like it was a very old filling in the tooth and the remaining wall of the tooth is very thin, bummer.
Mom had her second cataract removed this morning and the surgery went well. I have taken the week off to make sure she gets all her eye drops in at the appointed time.
The weather has turned a little cooler, by cooler I mean down into the 70’s with a little rain. Very nice out side which is good for some of the yard work I want to accomplish. I have cordoned off a small section of the yard to keep the dogs in. I am replacing my old wooden fence with vinyl. I have seen the dogs testing the temporary fence looking for weak spots. I am going to have to make sure there are no weak spots. The fence will be down for about a week maybe a week and a half. The new post and mow strip have to set up before the fencing can be installed. I’ll be glad when it is completed so the dogs can rule the back yard again.

The bride and I
Ice burge , just not a very big one

We got home a little over a week ago from our cruise to Alaska. It was a fun cruise and the weather was perfect, not a cloud in the sky for most of the week. Anyone that has spent some time in Alaska knows this is not the norm. We should have seen bunches of rain, but we didn’t.

The bride decided that it would be fun to buy jewelry in some of the ports we stop in. She got some nice stuff and was very happy. There was this Jewelry store she wandered into with me in tow and I sat down to mind my own business when one of the employees offered me a beer. Makes me wonder if he was just being nice or this was a marketing ploy. I guess if you give enough beer to the husband he’ll go along with what ever the women wants.

Like I said all in all it was a good trip, but I would rather go to Alasaka on a fishing trip.
