An Entry in my Ruby Red Journal

Outside my window…a haze of thick smoke hangs over my town and pinches my eyes.   Over 20,000 acres of our beloved Sedona canyon has burned. I remember…hiking in West fork (Sedona) with my family.   I am so sad that so much beauty has burned away. I am hoping…the contractor can complete repairs at my daughter’s home today. I was surprised when…an author friend challenged me to privately journal about this statement:   “Ask God to show you how He sees you.”   This is not as easy as it looks. I am stressful…about the results of my eye exam last week.   It’s time for bi-focals and this may take some getting use to! I am thankful…I was able to spend time with my family over Memorial Day weekend.     Notice this Agave plant.   The flowers shot up at least 20 feet.   The sap from some species of this succulent are used to make Tequila.  Photo was taken at my daughter and son-in-law's home.   The plant has not bloomed for 17 years!

Got My Smile Back in Los Algodones

Leave it to a crisis to get us to take action!   That’s what happened when my husband, Tom, chipped a front tooth.   He spent $1100 several years ago for a wire partial he hates to insert, but at least it covered an empty space where a front tooth once was.   And now with this chipped front tooth, it was time to consider our options.   Los Algodones, Mexico grabbed our attention. The first thing we did was pray for discernment.   Then we began a search online.   RV Forums and bloggers are extremely helpful.   As we read about others' experiences with dentists, we gained confidence.   We talked to people in our church that have their dental work done in Mexico and weighed the facts.   Yes, we decided to go to Los Algodones.   Our passport cards took four weeks to process.   During this wait, we pursued a list of dentists we found with the best reviews.   We sent out emails with Tom’s most current X-rays attached and soon dental bids followed back to us.
