Hey Steph
Nice to hear from you, Steph, and I love your pic and your wonderful quote. Excellent and I love Thoreau.
Yes, these decisions we have to make based on what's presented to us at our office visits does make life interesting, doesn't it? I appreciate you pasting in Lani's post, too, as she always provides such good material for us to use and consider.
Smile. Your teeth will be sparkling tomorrow (and don't forget to floss).
XO,
Vicki
