Oh thoses Dentists
I have been having a tooth ache, Oh for about a month now. This past weekend it got so bad I couldn't hardly stand it. Early Monday morning I called our dentist and I couldn't get in until Wednesday. I found some pain drugs leftover from when Lindsay had her wisdom teeth removed earlier in the year so I started taking them. These got me to Wednesday. I get to the dentist and I had a broken filling. Let me tell you there was a couple of times I thought I dying. Just put me out of my misery. He numbed me up and drilled out that old filling and decided I needed a root canel. I have to say that I can now eat on both sides of my mouth, I can swish cold water in my mouth and it not hurt. I feel so much better. How can 1 little filling cause so much pain.

Busy Weekend
First of all let me say that what I thought was a junky computer problem was a bad modem problem and we are back up running full force again. YEA!! Nothing is more frustrating then computer problems.
It seems our weekends just keep getting busier. Saturday was Rachel Special Olympics metro bowling tournament in KC. We had to be there at 8:30 in the morning UGH. This means we leave our house at 7:30 AM. Anyway we made it and Rachel bowled a 26 and a 51. She should have gotten the bronze medal but for some reason she was left off the last of bowlers in her lane so they made a new list of bowlers consisting of 1 bowler, Rachel. Rachel got the gold medal. She was thrilled. She had lots of fun and doesn't get as mad as she used to when she gutters. I think this is her favorite sport. Of course it doesn't require much physical ability either. Yesterday Lindsay worked concessions at the KU football game and Bob worked. Then my parents came around 3:30 to ride with us back to KC for a wedding. The wedding was for my 2nd cousins daughter Kellie. Oh my she was beautiful. The wedding was on the Plaza in KC. I wish it would have been after Thanksgiving so my parents could have seen the Plaza lights all lit up. The reception was downtown KC, MO and the food was wonderful. We weren't able to stay very long as my parents had to get back home and it is a 2 hour drive from my house. They had a pretty nice jazz band that played. Rachel was ready to get out there and dance but nobody was dancing so she didn't either. For those of you who have been to my house, you probably have seen the many things I have made out of wood. Like the Wheel barrel on my coffee table and other things hanging on my walls. They were all made by Buzz Moore. His wife is my dads cousin. He was a wonderful man and a very good friend to many of us. His grand daughter was the bride. At the part in the wedding where you exchange your rings the preacher told a story of when Buzz was stricken with an unknown virus. Buzz had met Ryan(the groom) twice and really liked him. At the point when they knew he was dying he asked to talk to Kellie by herself. He took off his wedding ring and gave it to Kellie and told her she could use this for Ryan at her wedding. I tell you there was hardly a dry eye in the church. It was a very touching moment.
Well I'll try to do better with my blogging now that the computer issues are fixed.

It's been awhile Sorry
I am so sorry I haven't blog in awhile. Nothing new really. I had to have another birthday and at my age you just wish they would go right on by. Anyway it was a good one. No job yet but I am still hopeful something will come along SOON. We are having a garage sale this weekend so we have been pulling out things we don't want anymore. Well except for Bob. He says not to sell anything of his. Silly boy is such a pack rat. Lindsay is taking after me in that respect. If I don't use it anymore, get rid of it.
We went to Hesston Kansas this past Sunday. My mom is 3rd oldest of 15 children all living but 1. They are spread from Colorado to Pennsylvania and they were all in Kansas over the weekend. We had a big get together with a big dinner. If I figured right there were about 56 of us. At the end my mom's cousins and the 2 aunts and 1 uncle still leaving came to visit too. It was good to see all of them again as we usually don't see them but every 3 years at the Voth reunion which is next year. Because of the job situation we probably won't get to go.
