The Pain Is Over and I Met Some New Friends

After two weeks of pain from that damn tooth extraction I was finally able to get back to the land of the living. What a horrible experience that was! So now I have another dental situation arising. I have an impacted wisdom tooth that has a cyst developing on it. Nice! It needs to be attended to or there is a possibility that it could erupt and cause my jaw to fracture. Double Nice!
What a bunch of crap!
So last weekend I went with 3 friends to Brown County, Indiana. Had a blast! We left early Sat. morning and checked into our hotel by 10ish. Brown County is a quaint little town that hosts tons of shops and art galleries. So we started out on a beautiful fall day and worked our way through the shops. Long about 3pm, I believe it was my friend Donna, said "I'm ready for a beer". Well, there's not really too much to be offered in that area. But I did remember a place Gary and I had stopped in several years before. We found that same place....The Speakeasy. We stopped in for 1 and walked out at 8:30! Whew! Fun, fun, fun. We met the greatest group of people. We met 3 couples who were there when we arrived. They were our first encounter and we immediately hit it off! Then 2 more couples came in. They had purchased a replica of the leg lamp from "A Christmas Story"....remember that? They ended up plugging it in right there. They joined in on our fun! There was no juke box....so we just sang! And believe me, we sang to anyone walking in and everyone walking out! It was definitely one of those "you had to be there" moments. We all left that night with exchanged email addresses...as soon as my friends get their pictures to me I will be posting them! We did nothing but laugh the whole time...I felt like I knew my new friends forever. Such a big world it is, but so small in so many ways!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.....enoy yourselves wherever you may be!
