I went to the dentist today. I was scheduled to have a crown on a chipped tooth (first of two appointments) and a small filling done.
After taking a closer look today, the dentist said he thought he could do a new filling on the chipped tooth, instead of a crown. He said the tooth was still in pretty good shape.
So that's what we did. I love my dentist - he never does unnecessary work.
So, I went in expecting to shell out $1,358 for just the crown, and walked out with both fillings for $539.
Because I had already "mentally" spent the $1,358, I left feeling like they had handed me $$$.
DS and DGS picked their garden--we have lots of fresh peas, arugula, an artichoke, radishes to eat today.
I had not dived for 20 years but a friend encouraged me to apply to be volunteer diver at the local science center. I was honest about my hiatus but they still took me at 70. So now I'm getting to dive in all of 14.5' of water with sharks and rays while scrubbing the artificial coral and waving to little kids. That's about all the scuba I care to do these days. Even when younger going down to 120 just didn't feel all that comfortable. Going to do the penguin tank here shortly. Tame but fun!
That's good. Went to my dentist this week and a crown cost me $2000!I went to the dentist today. I was scheduled to have a crown on a chipped tooth (first of two appointments) and a small filling done.

We are doing a housesit in Colorado. Happiest moment so far today is enjoying this yummy breakfast DH made me, while gazing at the Rocky Mountains and sipping my coffee.
I retired in December of 2020.
My last boss (2015-2020) was a young fellow in his mid-thirties. We always got on very well, and we like and respect each other.
My happiest moment today was when he called me (first time since I retired) and told me he and his wife are expecting twins in six months - two girls.
And they had triplets (all girls) in January of 2016. So it will be five daughters, his wife, and him. He is outnumbered for the rest of his life, and he couldn't be more thrilled.
He called me thirty minutes before he told the rest of my old department (virtually). I was tickled and honored that he wanted to share his good news with me first!
My favorite meal to eat out is breakfast. Sounds good. Though I could never sleep in till 11Wow - I had a perfect start to the day today! We slept in 'til 11, and then I had a steak and eggs breakfast with DW at our favorite breakfast spot. The 10 oz steak was perfect! In my mind it doesn't get too much better than that.

Replacement 11 foot sunbrella for our deck arrived and put up. It sure helps reducing the late afternoon heat on the front window and door, plus makes the deck so much more useable for the majority of the day.
We haven't yet decided on creating a permanent covered area there or not--a BTD decision!
Garden party at our sons, Saturday, to celebrate our birthdays, him Friday, me today. Great having a wee celebration with our family and friends in great weather.
