Sorry about your tooth. I am terrified of dentists and I am having anxiety just reading about what you need done. I hope you can get some rest. Don't overdo it.

I'm so happy you're able to get back in your lake house. I almost break out in hives thinking of all that unpacking to do! :) But it's for a wonderful way to start enjoying your time there again. It looks beautiful! So sorry about the skin issues...I'm sure that's incredibly uncomfortable. I so hope the new RX will help! My dentist that I went to for eons retired and now I'm a nervous wreck about going to another. I have visited 2 and both were very kind. I can't remember the name, however, I have an issue that it takes so much novacaine to deaden the nerves and I'm on edge wondering if they gave me enough. The last dentist would do a couple of injections and then ask if it was numb...nope! Then we'd begin again. At least he was patient with me and was very gentle.<br /><br />Sounds like a huge shower! Lots of things to prepare but it will be so worth it. :) You are so very fortunate to have these babies! I really miss those days.<br /><br />I'm wondering if we're going to have fall temps anytime soon! It was wonderful last weekend but here we are back to 95 today. Ugh!<br /><br />xo<br />PatGypsy Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13212447439580468374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-5517638495284398972016-09-17T11:09:15.122-05:002016-09-17T11:09:15.122-05:00Hi Jane, this is my second comment on this post, i...Hi Jane, this is my second comment on this post, in answer to your question about Canterbury bells. They only bloom their second year from seed so you could buy the already started six packs of the Canterbury bells and they would bloom for you. I have to nurture them in my garden over the winter, here in California, so I doubt they would make it over winter for you. They are so pretty! Make lovely flowers for bouquets too.Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-77973896993050812762016-09-16T17:58:05.848-05:002016-09-16T17:58:05.848-05:00Jane, my friend, you can pack so much into a post ...Jane, my friend, you can pack so much into a post and you have A LOT going on right now!

I'm so excited that you are back in your lake house even though there are some frustrations to work out, I know it must be such a happy time for you. As for your health, I'm sending you hugs and wishes for good news. Health stuff is so scary and it seems to me that you've had more than your share lately!

I am looking forward to seeing all the rooms in a post.<br /><br />Congratulations on the new additions to your wonderful family. Hopefully you will get a little boy from your son. I am so excited for you.<br /><br />So sorry about your skin and hoping that the new medicine will help you. Now as for the dentist, I really hate to go, so you have my prayers that everything goes well.<br /><br />I have really been under the weather with my COPD and they found out that I have Aortic Stenosis and of course surgery is out of the question. I just have to wait and see as there is a new procedure they can do. Time will tell. Sorry I didn't want to go into all this stuff. I've not commented on anyone posts.<br /><br />Again, I love love love the Lake House and you are going to enjoy it so much. I bet it is beautiful out there in the Fall.<br /><br />Take care my friend and have a great weekend.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Mary Mary@mydogsmygardenandmaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03265174897498950754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-79456024325471474722016-09-15T06:08:22.303-05:002016-09-15T06:08:22.303-05:00Oh Jane.

I was young), which I found to be far less traumatic than the awful crowns that have replaced many of my old fillings. Ugh. You have a lot of work to do on the lake house, but what a nice place to have to get away. I have always loved cat tails. We had ponds on our farms, all with cat tails as I grew up. Good memories. The baby shower will be so much fun. Then a new baby girl. How exciting. Enjoy your weekend. annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668006270534204954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-74990940981249536752016-09-15T00:53:44.695-05:002016-09-15T00:53:44.695-05:00Hi Jane, love seeing the beautiful lake house reno...Hi Jane, love seeing the beautiful lake house renovations! The railings are lovely and your new love seat looks perfect and oh so comfy :) I can just imagine how much work it has taken and still needs to be done to get all settled in - you must be exhausted! I had to laugh at how you met your new neighbors and the little 'present' left behind. Life is never dull with dogs! Soooooo - a big congratulations on the new babies - so exciting, and it is wonderful that the cousins will be growing up together. We just had a baby shower, too. I can't think of any party that is sweeter......I do hope you find some relief with the new drug. The dental surgery does sound scary and I hope you don't lose your tooth. My son lost his two front teeth in a biking accident. It's amazing what they can do in dentistry these days and I'm sure they will take very good care of you, poor girl :( I'll be thinking of you. The recipe looks so delicious! xo KarenKaren @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-55977482577731184182016-09-14T22:10:43.814-05:002016-09-14T22:10:43.814-05:00Oh your lakehouse looks amazing!

My dad was a dentist so I was never afraid of going to the dentist growing up. I was nervous about having a 'bone graft' with a periodontist last fall. In the end, it was not such a big deal. Hope all goes smoothly. Congrats on the new babies coming into your life.

It's really looking good. Love that staircase.<br /><br />I am so sorry to hear about your eczema coming back and how bad it is again. I hope that you are able to get access to this new drug quickly and that you'll be OK giving injections to yourself. I had to do that in my tummy with a blood thinner years ago and it was NOT fun. And then your tooth...oh my goodness, sounds awful. It's always something, isn't it?<br /><br />However, wonderful news about yet another grandchild! You and hubby are going to be over the moon with all these babies!<br /><br />Yes, we did hit the main streets in Shipshewana - we covered the whole town! There was only one antique shop that we saw and it only had a few expensive things in back. The rest was reproductions and the same home decor type stuff that we saw in every store we went into. We had lunch in a little cafe - just simple but good sandwiches. We didn't want anything heavy.

Several procedures later, he was actually able to keep his tooth (they did gum work, cemented the tooth back together and then veneers). If it happens again, he will have to get an implant.
