Yes, I want to keep as many of my teeth as I can. I am being hired by my husband to help him move his office next week, and I will use that money to help pay for my dental work. Ten dollars and hour! yay! After he signs the papers, we will have 10 days to move. whew! He has alot of stuff! My husband is the 9-1-1 director for the county AND the volunteer fire chief, so you can imagine the stuff he has! I also clean his office once a week, and I am looking forward to a smaller space to clean! hee!
On a more serious front, fire season is gearing up pretty strong.  Once again, I want to remind people that live in the suburbs, or out in the country to clean up around your properties! Cut down the grass really short, clear out the brush and stuff that has accumulated around. Cut fire breaks around your property if you can. You wont beleive how much that will help firefighters to protect your house!
We had a fire yesterday that was pretty wild. There is a horse ranch out to the east of us. They have a ranch house, barns, stables and horse pens, then there is a drop off waaaaaay down to a valley behind all of that. A fire broke out in the valley, and the wind was up and pushed the fire up the dropoff. We got to it just as it was cresting and made a stand, keeping the fire off the buildings. They had lots of concrete pads, driveways and stuff, and they had also cut the grass really close and had cleared out alot of brush from away from their property. We saved their buildings, but it was a fight! For the first 30 minutes it was just 3 trucks and 5 people trying to fight off this fire. For quite awhile, I was by myself! But I prayed for strength and protection and a determination filled me that the fire would NOT get past a certain point! My husband showed up about then and helped me but I KNEW that if it got close enough, I was able to handle it by the grace of God!
We are expecting wind gusts up to 70 mph today. Please pray that there are no fires today, and for protection of our firefighters!
