I slept in until 7 am when the construction crew began pounding next door. I phoned the boys today, but was only able to talk to Tucker, Talmadge was at the pool. We had a wonderful conversation, but I am sad because he is leaving to go spend the rest of the summer with Troy's Mom and Dad. I guess I won't get to see him when I go to visit in Chattanooga. I was able to read my book for a couple of hours until it was time to get ready for the dentist. I had to navigate three buses to get to the dentist, oh, in the pouring down rain, but I finally arrived safe and sound. Unfortunately, the permanent crown didn't fit, so a new impression has to be sent back to the lab. Uggg. I will hopefully get to go back on Thursday to try again. I finally made it home around 6 pm, well after dark. It was unnerving to walk home, from the bus stop but I prayed that God would protect me. I stopped and purchased some empenadas on the way home, and as always they hit the spot.
