To the dentist in the snow (sigh)

On Tuesday Feb 28 we pulled out Amanda and Eric's house to go to our first (of many) visits on this trip to our terrific dentist. Too bad his office is near Nome, Alaska--or so it seems to us. The tire tracks in the driveway are ours, the first in the snow that fell last night.
Main Street in Rexburg heading toward the Madison Park Dental Center.
Becca settles in to one of the chairs that have become familiar to her. One of the major reasons that we continue to come here is because of Dr. Walker's skill and kindness in caring for Becca's soft teeth. She will need an extraction. No fun. But she recovers well.
The fact that the dentist has the same last name as Walker, Texas Ranger seems to help Becca in her willingness to come back.
So here is the Doc, himself, with Jana, one of several assistants on the team, all with consistent sensitivity and a caring attitude. Gramma, in the chair will need the most work this trip. She will have three extractions which causes her a lot of pain and consternation. She recovered slowly
Her new bridge wasn't ready when we had to leave and return to Mesa. Dr. Walker felt so badly about it that he plans to hand-carry the completed bridge to Mesa. That would give new meaning to "house call".
