Mom and DOD braved the Border and the hordes of lawless gun-toting Mexican drug dealers to get Mom a new Crown at a third of the cost of getting one in Canada (not true about the drug dealers, but she wants me to make this blog exciting!). What that woman will not do for a bargain!! The Mexican side of the border was VERY easy...no security at all! So Mom and DOD walked through the lineups of taxi drivers like they knew where they were going ...trying to look sophisticated (if they had taken me they would not have had any problems...I have been practicing Spanish...Buenos Dias,,,Buenos Tardes...Donde Esta Bano's etc.) and found the Dentist's street.
Mom does not want to discuss the dentist! She says he was thorough but she spent one and half hours in the chair and emerged weak and shaken! Her temporary crown looks like it will need blasting to remove....and it is gleaming white in the dark! yikes.
So then they head back to the border to cross into Arizona....big line-ups...guards with rifles. Mom and DOD were pretty apprehensive but when they got to the guard he said ' Canadian Eh' and he was friendly! He even looked sympathetically at Mom's tooth. WOW....they were happy and they rushed to our car, which had to be parked on the American side for security reasons, and drove home as quick as they could to Me and Lacey.
Thankfully, they made it home in time to make our dinner....Mom gets the permanent crown on the 30th.
Hi Robbie, that sounds like an adventure for your mom!! I thought it was a crown for her head, did she break the other one? Haha. She will be caught for smuggling teeth.
ReplyDeleteWe are back from Saturna, I made sure I marked all the spots for you. Cousin Oreo was with me, but she's not much help. We spent every afternoon enjoying the sun at the end of the meadow...you know the bench on the rock pile! My dad even fired up one of his many chainsaws and got some arbutus firewood before your dad could get it! Now he's running around with his other favorite toy..the snowblower! Winter is not over yet. Stay put, I'll tell you when it's safe to return.

Oh, forgot to add, your house was just fine it hasn't blown off the point or anything. Mom took me down for a walk to check on things. Jack Frost
DeleteDear BJ....I do know the bench on the rock pile! I can see you sitting there with your Mom....
