CC Lost another tooth

Tonight Sierra went downstairs with her daddy for a bedtime story (actually 3 of them that she read herself) and before you know it she was headed up stairs to pull her tooth. Daddy promised her she could stay up for an extra half hour if she would pull her tooth. After another 15 minutes or so she had success. We tied a heavy piece of floss around it, applied a bit of oragel and she began the yanking. She yanked so hard the tooth popped out and we lost it. Seriously! We (Sierra, Mommy and Daddy) were on our hands and knees for about 10 minutes but we couldn't find it. Sierra wants you to know she is kinda sad about it but she is happy to have it out anyway and I think the tooth fairy will probably understand.

Fun in the Sun

Who has time to post when there is a beach just waiting to be occupied. Today, after Sierra's doctor's apt. the kids and I went to the beach at Miss Leone's house on Silver Lake. We soaked up the sun with Miss Tammy Stricker, Michele Clark and the kids and Rebecca & Isaac until the first roar of thunder around 2:30. We thought about waiting it out but a few minutes later we saw a crack of lighting so we packed up and went home. Our house never saw a speck of the rain but I did get my flower garden weeded and enjoyed the remainder of our afternoon at home. Better luck tomorrow. Every day this week has been forcasted for thunderstorms but I will expect sunshine just like my friend Tammy (a true sun goddess).

107 and Great Grandma Unsworth is now enjoying heaven

Emily Maude Blanch Unsworth, Born May 29, 1899 and died June 12, 2006 in Dresden, Ontario, Canada. My Great Grandma Unsworth lived a life spent on others. My mom says she was truely a Proverbs 31 woman. She was a strong confident woman who wasn't afraid to try something new. She could sew, knit, crochet, hang wallpaper, cook "burnt offerings" for a housefull and garden like nobody. She had a special fondness for green onions. She passed on some good genetics for teeth. She had all her own teeth at 107 years. She also had a deep and abiding faith in the Lord. She loved to sing the old hymns and enjoyed plunking them out on a keyboard even up to the end. She enjoyed playing games. A few days before she died she played my Aunt Margaret in Checkers and Connect Four and won. When Margaret asked if she wanted to play again Grandma replied, "I would if I could figure out how." It's pretty bad when you are getting slammed by your 107 year old Grandma. A couple other interesting things about her; she could say her alphabet backwards and she was a shutter bug with her camera. If you came to visit her she would always want to take your picture. We will miss her but we are confident we will see her again someday.
