Time To See The Dentist

Hope you had a great Halloween and got lots of treats!!!..Know what time it is now?  That’s right ……..I visit the dentist twice a year for a cleaning and always pray that I get out of there without a problem.  According to Health/Healthy Woman, if you have any of the symptoms below, schedule an appointment now.

Tooth or gums hurt, especially when you eat or drink
Gums bleed during brushing, and they’re red, swollen or tender
Breath is always bad
Pus appears between teeth and gums
One or more teeth are loose
Biting or chewing causes pain

The last time I went to the dentist in July he told me I needed to cap one of my teeth next time I make an appointment. Not a happy camper but I have to be a big girl and just do it. Right after I finish this Blow-Pop.

Family Brunch

This family brunch was for two celebrations-  Halloween and my niece Sandras’ 18th birthday.  All the children were dressed for Halloween – Natalie was Cinderella  Bride – she got to wear lipstick and Liam was Bumble Bee from the Transformers – did you know  that he can change into a car? Wow.

The brunch was at my daughters’ Vera and Bill town club  – I was so happy that it was a beautiful day after the snow storm. Here is Sandra, Nolan, my sister Marianne and cousin Veronica – have to say we had a great afternoon.

Plenty to eat at the buffet –  loved the pumpkin ravioli – they were also serving vulture (chicken) and jackel (beef) with all the sides and fixings you can imagine.  I just had to try the vulture – you know what – it tasted like chicken.

There was pumpkin painting  and a DJ for entertainment – lots of fun and excitement – oh, and plenty of candy, ice cream  and cake  too.  Everyone was a kid for the day – even my mom.

This Straw Man was on stilts all afternoon – he did  a wonderful job entertaining the children of all ages. 

Guess who got a new car and promised to take me for a spin?  Sandra, I’ll be calling  you!

Breyer Pet Sitter Set

A few weeks ago I went to the Time to Play Holiday Showcase 2011.  I was looking for something that I would like to give to my granddaughter and I found it.  It is Breyer Pet Sitter Set – it reminded me of the classic toys I grew up with.  The set includes a fully posable doll with long brown braids. a horse, a dog, cat, blanket, brush, bowl and a ball.  I think every girl wishes she could have a horse!  I know this set is going to bring hours and hours of imaginative fun for both me and Natalie.
