A Day in Moses Lake -- and in Wenatchee...

It was another early morning for us as we had to be at the dentist in Moses Lake at 8:00 AM this morning!  The only saving grace to this is that our dental hygienist is my delightful niece Becky!  I got caught up on the goings-on of my two young great-nephews, Carter and Case. It sounds like they are enjoying summer and  playing in the water almost as much as they love playing in the dirt in my brother's garden.

The bad news from the dental appointment is that the inlay that I had come out -- and Forry re-glued -- when we were in Pittsburgh came out because it was starting to decay along the edge.  It eroded the tooth along the side, so instead of just replacing it, I'm going to need another crown!  The worst part is that it takes two weeks to get the crown from the lab, so it will be the latter part of August before it is done and we can leave... ;-(

After Forry had his "no problems" cleaning, we headed for Wenatchee to visit our dear friend Vic who had a knee replacement on Tuesday.  Vic is 91 and seems to have come through the surgery just fine.  Now the hard work of physical therapy starts.  They will be sending him to a rehab facility in Moses Lake where he lives with Daughter Pam, probably tomorrow.

As long as we were already in Wenatchee, we went over to East Wenatchee and had a short visit with Forry's sister Grace and her husband Les. They had grand-children to pick up from practice, so it was a very short visit, but it was good to see them.  There was a VERY nasty two vehicle wreck along the cliffs of the river as we left Wenatchee. Traffic was backed up for several miles as they let traffic through one lane at a time.

A stop at a fruit stand finished off a busy day.  I brought fresh beans, Bing and Lambert cherries and apricots.  They were making fresh fruit milkshakes with hard ice cream, so we just had to get a nectarine and a blackberry shake to stave off hunger pangs.
