Hitch itch set in and we called Joe and Judy to see if our camping up there for a few days would interfere with anything they had planned and of course they assured us that it wouldn’t.  We arrived on a Wednesday and Judy had prepared a delicious “diet friendly” lunch for us.  Following lunch, I brought in some wreaths that I was working on and she pulled out some stuff she had bought for making the deco mesh and grapevine wreaths.Judy’s front door was big enough to accommodate the big fall wreath I made and she seemed pleased to get it.  We soon discovered that we did not have nearly enough embellishments for our projects so we planned a trip to Dothan the next day.  Bubba and Joe enthusiastically agreed to accompany us – mainly for lunch, I think.

Judy and I loaded up on wreath making supplies and prepared to mass produce wreaths over the next couple of days. We went to Sam's while we were there; Joe and I decided that we would take advantage of their free hearing tests.  (We really know how to have fun, don't we?)  Joe's took so long that I decided to wait until next time.

 Judy caught on quickly and we were turning out wreaths right and left.  She has a better eye for what to add to embellish them than I.  By Saturday, we realized that we needed still more stuff to go on wreaths and we went to WalMart in Andalusia.  We couldn’t believe that WalMart was the only place that did not have their Christmas decorations out.  We ended up at a Dollar Tree that had some cute things we could use so we headed back to finish up the projects we started. We worked at a frantic pace and I had six new wreaths to carry home with me.  About this time Bubba asked where I was going to put all these wreaths.  I told him not to worry because I was going to sell them at the subdivision yard sale in Atlanta and would be making him a rich man.  He was very happy to hear that because by now he had figured out that I had a couple of hundred dollars invested in my new hobby.

Sunday night as I brushed my teeth, I bumped my gum and it hurt.  I pulled up my lip to take a look and I bumped my tooth and it moved.  You guessed it, it was the tooth that has the bad root canal and this was not looking good for its “self-healing” that the dentist had optimistically mentioned to me.  The next day I was able to get right in and discovered that the bad tooth was getting worse not better.  I had some infection to deal with and then had to make a decision on getting a dental implant or a bridge of some kind.  For me, losing a tooth that shows is not an option.  Bummer!!
