Today is All About Teeth, Fire & Fish

I went to my dentist Dr. Patrick McGuire, DDS again today, to get 2 temporary crowns set for 2 teeth with old fillings.  Good preventive dentistry to eliminate the possibility of cracking or loosing a tooth on some fairytale vacation!  Everything went smoothly, of course I was slightly medicated so I could keep myself from becoming extremely nervous, and I left with a smile on my face.  My mouth wasn't working properly because of the Novocain, but that wore off over time.  All was well until dinner time, when I chewed down and felt something funny...by George, I think I cracked the temporary crown.  Argh!!!  I have my call in to the dentist, but I am quite sure I will be visiting him again tomorrow.  At least it doesn't hurt, just feels funny.  I've brushed very gently so I don't disturb it...

Earlier today, when I first arrived home from the dentist, I was mesmerized by the fire (I'm sure the  medication had not worn off completely and this contributed to my rapt attention)...I've always loved fire and have a very healthy respect for it.  As I sat watching the wood burning stove, the fire was dancing in delicate waves and spindles.  I wanted to share a few shots of it with you...

This one looks like a little creature coming at me...

Fire burns in fascinating and mysterious ways!  And it does the job of keeping things warm...I feel quite toasty after sitting here and watching!

I made a new discovery today!  The creeks that flow near our cabin and continue to run down the mountain flowing into a larger creek that is Hatchery supported! This means that during certain times of the year, we can catch fresh trout right in our very own creek!  Yahooie!  I think it would be super cool to catch trout from our own creek.  Next steps....get a fishing license and learn how to catch trout!  I don't want to fish, I want to catch!  Can't wait to tell you more about this!  Anyone willing to share any tips?
