The letter T

I thought that T would be so easy that I didn't work on it at all. Oops.  So, already, I'm considering what to do for U.  Underwater?  Underwear? Uppity?

So here we go on the Ts I snapped Today.

Tree.  Today is an awesome, clear and sunny day in October, and the trees are really showing their color.  I may go for a stroll later and shoot some more picture.  These yellow leaves are portions of sunshine, saved up all summer long.
Tea.  I had a loss at Weight Watcher's today, and so am treating myself to two chocolate chip cookies and some figs with my mid-morning tea.  Oh dear goodness I love fresh figs!  I may put the cookies back and eat a few more figs. I am drinking Steven Smith Masalla Chai Tea today.  Tasty!!
Teeth.  All that tea does have long-term effects.  My teeth are yellowing. And there's nothing like a selfie to bring a few other facts home.  Like, my face is so freaking asymmetrical that even if I HAD gotten braces back in my youth, I would still have a crooked grin.  It just adds to my quirky charm, right?  And at least I still HAVE teeth.  During the American civil war, one of the requirements to be a soldier was that you had to have at least two teeth that met in a bite so you could rip the paper off your cartridges.  Numbers of men were disqualified for this reason.  That I should reach 63 and still have all my own teeth (Even if the ARE crooked and yellow)is a thing to be profoundly grateful for!!

  3. Whenever I suffer any mouth pain, I immediately start being afraid I'll lose a tooth. The idea of not having my own teeth upsets me. I have too many memories of teeth in a glass by the beds of my elderly relatives.....

    And perfect symetry only exists on those skinny people in ads (after much air brushing and computer fixing)
