First a somewhat pleasant experience, then a not so!

In the way below is a picture of one of our two bougainvillea, fuchsia are their colors, this particular one is on our covered porch adjacent to our swimming pool. This is the one cut back from the one that beautifully stretched across framing the room was cut back due to unsavory critters using it as homes, birds are fine, wasps not so much, bees I am highly allergic, and rats totally disturbing and disgusting!

Any-who, we now have the bougainvillea in a smaller cluster on one of the poles holding up the roof there is a nest of mocking birds, one below:that they have built, and they can be quite exuberant in caring for their young, so they dive bomb intruders! If you look closely you can see the drier deader branches towards the middle of the vine! They can be as rambunctious as blue jays!  Oddly enough mocking birds are our state birds, if I had my druthers I would have chosen the spoonbill, one below: Herons


or even anyone of the many herons I see daily. As most don't realize flamingos, as below: are not as plentiful as I would like; they are seen mostly at amusement parks and zoos in state, and elsewhere in other states and mostly South America.  

This bougainvillea is on our covered porch the second is down by the canal.

Now the ugly, my neck, can you see the red line that was hours after the Complete Dental Care wanted me to have that x-ray machine that does around your head diagnosis machine needs standing participants.
Now I rolled in in my motorized wheel chair and so they knew this would be an amazing feat/feet, ha! But I must admit I do tell my honest disclaimer I am not paralyzed I have Multiple Sclerosis, but still standing is no longer my best thing, at all!  Anyway, I was assured that it would take maybe 30 seconds, forty at the most! Well, they did not include the time it was going to take with their internet down! Although, they kept repositioning me and making the bar across my throat tighter thus the redline on my neck below! They had taken the old fashioned inside of my mouth pics with the film in your mouth thingy, all over and done prior to the all around the head thingy! I did get a minimal cleaning due to too many years of neglect, I had priorities and my teeth were put on the back burner, and I do floss and brush and use mouthwash nearly all day long, due to mostly food getting stuck in between my teeth. I had nasty calculus build up,  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_(dental)

I arrived there by choice with a $59 coupon for cleaning, exam and x-rays! A bargain for someone without dental insurance, and only CareCredit to be honestly shopping for a good local dentist, like myself.

They are running a special for two hundred off one of my two porcelain crowns that I need that is over the end of the month, yep four days to go. Now that sounds too good to be true, and if I recall if it sounds too good to be true than it probably IS!

On that note allow me to be the very first to wish a happy good night to all!

Count those blessings and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
