The Rest of The Story . . .
I mentioned in yesterday’s blog that Landon had lost two front teeth.
At the time, we assumed he had lost them naturally, though Jan thought he was kind of young to start losing his baby teeth. Turns out she was right.
The real story is that Landon and Kitty were roughhousing and Landon managed to smash his mouth into Kitty’s hard head. Kitty, being their 125# Black Lab, his head won and Landon knocked out his two teeth.
Amid all the bleeding and crying, there was some thought to saving the teeth to see if they could be replanted by the dentist. But Kitty took care of that problem.
Kitty regards anything on the floor as hers, so when one of the teeth fell on the floor, Kitty immediately ate it. Landon grabbed the other one to save it, but it being kind of slippery, he dropped the tooth, and Kitty immediately gobbled that one down too.
No one seemed to want to search through Kitty’s poop over the next few days to try and find the two errant incisors, and I’m not sure Landon would want them back anyway.
Once he got over the shock, Landon’s first worry was the Tooth Fairy, i.e. No teeth, no Fairy. But thinking quickly, his Grammie Sonja said they would just write the Tooth Fairy a note explaining the situation and leave that under Landon’s pillow.
And it apparently worked.
Awww! Our little hillbilly.
Sonja ask if he wanted to stay home from school, but Landon insisted he wanted to go. When he got to school, it was like he was a Rock Star. All girls were fawning over him, and the guys all wanted to look in his mouth.

About 1:30 pm Jan and I headed over to my Aunt Virginia’s house to take her to lunch. It was our first time to see her since her husband, my Uncle Theo, died May 13, 2015.
Unfortunately that was the time period when we were stuck in Prescott, AZ waiting on rig repairs after our blowout on May 3rd coming back from Las Vegas.
Here’s my blog post from that day.
R.I.P. To A Real American Hero
After talking for a while, we drove to a nearby small restaurant called Suzanne’s. Kind of like a tea room, they had really great sandwiches, and desserts as it turns out.
After a good lunch, we drove over to the nearby cemetery to visit my Uncle’s grave. Sure wish I could have been here for the funeral.
Going back to Virginia’s, I spent a couple of hours going over some of the pharmacy bills from my Uncle’s last few months. There seemed to overcharges, double charges, and applying copays to the wrong area. I hope I was able to straighten things out enough so she knows what questions to ask now.
Coming home we spent an hour or so visiting with my Uncle Ed and Aunt Janis who own the Northgate RV Travel Park where we’re staying. Had a really good time catching up.
Tomorrow’s a long day, a 375 mile run down to Gulf Shores, AL where we’ll spend a week at the Gulf Shores State Park, before heading back to Houston next Friday. Really looking forward to it.
