My New Smile, That's A Beautiful Thing........



Being able to smile, something that is usually taken for granted by most but not when you don't have dental insurance, your job pays lousy and your dental health sucks because of a calcium defenciency in childhood! But thanks to the friends that informed me about Algadones, Mexico where I recently went and had all my dental work done at less than 10% of the cost the dentist's here in the States wanted to charge me. My husband also got all of his work done there as well, it was done in state of the art offices by well qualified dentists contrary to what the dentist's here will tell you about it, seems they just don't like competition for obvious reasons. Algadones is a quaint little town just 9 miles from Yuma, Arizona and it has over 400 qualified dentists to serve your needs, it also has many pharmacy's and a lot of qualified eye doctors. My friend got an eye exam, 2 pair of prescription glasses and 2 pair of prescription sunglasses for about $200.00. We'll go back down for a regular visit in about six months from our last and I'll see an eye doctor then too. I haven't been able to afford to have an exam or get new glasses for almost 8 years now and since I have a smile I'm once again proud to show off I want to see it well also. The trip is not possible for all but if it's at all possible it's well worth going there to keep up on your dental and vision care if you don't have insurance or can't afford it here, in fact, I don't see why anyone would pay the jacked up high prices here which only drive insurance prices up, dental in the United States is utterly and completely out of control. If you want any more information just shoot me an email, I'll gladly help get you on your way there. I am so happy to be able to eat anything again, to not be in constant pain or ill all the time and most of all to smile and not be embarrassed again.

It's a beautiful thing to wear your smile on the outside and the inside as well........





Please don't hesitate to contact me if you would like more information on this subject, I'll gladly and quickly reply. If this is accessible or doable for you then "just do it" you'll never regret it. Good dental health is important to your over all health and being able to afford it is a beautiful thing.
I can put you in touch with my dental office there, which I love or you can choose from many others, vision care is also available and I can even supply you with the numbers to reasonable places to stay in Yuma on your trip and information regarding border crossings and such. XXX:o)

More Beauty Of The Season........

There are so many beautiful things to enjoy in the winter months, it's hard to choose just a couple but I thought that this close up photograph of the ice and snow crystals on these branches were not only beautiful but fascinating the way they form and cling to the branches........



And then I found this original painting of winter and I thought the artist captured winter wonderfully, I always love original art and I thought this painting is most definately worth sharing........

And speaking of enjoyment for those of you who don't appreciate winter and all the joys the season brings then maybe you should just stay inside and cozy up to a warm fireplace with someone you love, that's a wonderful way to enjoy the season.......

Don't Forget....

I went looking for something unusual yet beautiful that also reflected the season and I found this beautiful ice sculpture of an elephant family that was done for a carnival in Quebec, Canada and then we added the little guy getting a refreshing drink of cold water and who could resist a baby elephant especially with a "do" like his. And those two in lower left are to remind you Valentines Day is only five days away, don't forget to remember your special love on the special day for love because it's a beautiful thing....

The winner's of the 43rd Superbowl Championship game, the Pittsburgh Steeler's, a team effort, a team win and a team celebration, it was a beautiful day wasn't it, Mr. Rogers?
Owner, Dan Rooney, Ben Roesthlisberger, Quarterback and Head Coach Mike Tomlin showing off the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Those championship winning smile's are just a beautiful thing aren't they?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! The fruits of your labor, a Superbowl championship and a beautiful custom designed diamond ring, that's a beautiful thing......Just ask anyone who's done it......
This was the catch that won the game for the Steeler's, a pass caught by receiver, Santonio Holmes(#10) in the closing minutes of the 4th quarter, take a glimpse of those toes down with the ball under control I was watching and it was truly a beautiful thing....
