I saw Dr. Roser a few weeks ago and he looked at a spot in my gums that looked like a blood blister. He called it something else, but that's really what it was. It was a bit sore, so he told me to hold off a few more weeks before I go back to the prothodontist to start the denture work. So, that's were I am, but expect to see the dentist in the next 2-3 weeks.
Otherwise we are busy with Terry getting ready for her annual entry into the Botanical Gardens scarecrow contest, doing a chili cookoff next weekend, a trip to Albuquerque after that, prepping for Terry's daughter's wedding reception, and then some visits from family and friends (going to Good Vibes). So, busy, but fun. That takes us through the first week in November. After that, retirement for me will be five weeks away.
About a week ago we had sightings of Barred Owls in our backyard for 4-5 evenings in a row. Most times we could only hear them--they have a very distinctive call--check this out:

But twice we got really good sightings--like this one:
It was about 30 feet from our deck, and stayed there for a long time. This time it flew off away from us, but the next night it flew right over us and we got to saw how freakin' big this thing is. Our cats stayed extra close to us those evenings during Deck Time.
Smart cats.
