Well, yesterday was one of those terrible no good, very bad days. And I didn't even get caught in the hurricane. Okay, it's pretty small compared to the devastation and destruction from the hurricane. Yet I was at the dentist yesterday and learned of yet another dental procedure costing another $1K. So, this year I'll pay about $8K in all to the dentist. Yes, I am thankful for good dental care, and I didn't do anything wrong to cause all this. Just life. Quite disappointing and sad. Thankfully, life isn't about $. This is just one reason why I am voting the way I am; I don't want anyone else to go through this; I will gladly help to pay for universal health care. At least I have a good job, and although my savings account is sad these days--- hard to save with these expenses!, and I have health insurance. So many don't.... including some wonderful potters.
So, off of my mini soapbox about universal healthcare. That was yesterday and I'm thankful for a new day. And then this came in the mail today. My youngest sister gave me the most thoughtful present I've received in a long while. Can't wait to read EVERY page. And another friend gave me a subscription to Pottery Making Illustrated--- as part of the 2 for 1 deal.
Life goes on. And how I love the pottery world these days! I plan on spending some good time in the studio this weekend, trimming pieces to in time, filling the kiln!

Yikes, Amy! Thank goodness Gerry has dental insurance through the AP, otherwise my teeth would just have to rot :)
Sorry you are having to go through this, I have a good friend who has spent $20,000 since 2010 and she is still not finished. ugh!
Thanks, Tracey. And I have dental insurance too but it covers little---- it is all just so expensive. Am deciding to not worry about it. take care!
