Family photo of Amazons and my gratitude for my broken tooth

This is a family portrait of Shasta, Franchesco, and their baby Marty in 2008. It is amazingly rare to see such a photo since it is almost unheard of to have a tame pair of pet Amazons breed in a rented Apartment. It is obvious by Shasta and Franchesco's posture that they are in full defensive mode around their son. This is great instinctive behavior and I am so proud of them. Hopefully they will make more babies one of these years.

Right now I am still thankful that the front bottom tooth that broke off last week does not hurt me at all. Oddly, the skin around the small back portion of the tooth that remains seems to be healing. I believe in God and I have seen many miracles in my life. I am praying that God will be my dentist for this tooth....and grow it back healthy and whole. Don't laugh! If God can part the Red Sea then what is this little tooth in comparison? Too selfish, you say? God cares about me and I care about my tooth. That's good enough.

I heard a famous actress on TV respond to questions regarding the importance of perfect teeth in show business. Her response was: "Teeth are over rated. I say 'take them out and put them in a jar'"
That made me laugh. That particular actress does have a gorgeous smile, but she is more well know for other prominent attributes as seen during her role in "Bay Watch" the TV series where she was constantly in a tiny swim suit.

I am grateful for the nice cool weather today.
I am also grateful for two good friends I spoke with on the phone this evening.
I am grateful that the little bird named "Lucky" is learning not to be afraid of me.
