Congratulations to one of our favorite couples - Alex and Tyler Sparks. We have had the pleasure of watching Alex over the years as a patient and then as one of our most-liked hygienists. We are still doing our best to coerce her back into the dental workforce, but this little guy (I’m afraid) has a little more influence on that decision than I do. Welcome to the world Gray Sparks. Gray joins his two older brothers and we share in this wonderful news with the Sparks and Smithdeal Family. We look forward to getting to know Gray - and his 32 teeth - in the coming years!

If the day seems a little more dreary than usual, it may be because the world lost one of its best characters yesterday afternoon when my Aunt, Sue Browder Folmar died yesterday at her home. She was truly the nicest person I ever met, and had everything else going her way as well. She was a great Mom, the perfect wife, a beautiful person (inside and out), the best sister (my Dad says!), and an unbelievable musician. When I was in high school, she decided to return to college to finish her degree in music. Her specialty was the organ, and I have seen her play some of the hardest pieces of music that were ever written. When she gave her senior recital, the chapel at Catawba, and its very large pipe organ, were on fire. She played Widor’s Toccata without a flaw at my wedding. She gave freely of her talents and her treasure and has never had a harsh word spoken about her. There is no doubt that Easter was picked by God as the day to bring her home. To say that she was a good and faithful servant is an understatement. I am a better person because of her and will miss her as will the entire Davie County community and anyone that ever came into contact with her.
This picture was taken in 1992 at my wedding.

Happy Easter 2025 …from Easter 2001. Everyone have a great weekend.

It was one of the coldest winters on record in Chapel Hill, and we never turned the heat on, windows were open, and fans were blowing. But two weeks past due (as usual) we had the best present ever…..and for me, we got to turn the heat on finally! Happy 29th Dr. Tookstie Doodle!!

Nothing says Christmas like seeing this green camper setting up shop across from the office. Sugar Creek Nursery has been coming to this spot for at least as long as we have been practicing across the street. We get our tree here every year and they never disappoint. Tonight as I left the office there was a transfer truck backed up and it was being unloaded with some beautiful trees. You can find them on Highway 158 about 1/4 mile east of the 801/158 intersection. Their page has all their information on it.

I have always had lots of opportunities to applaud the talents of Deana, but for anyone that walks into something she has touched, no outside accolades are necessary. She can look at a space whether it be an empty lot, an old house, an office building, or even a fire station, and almost immediately see the hidden potential. She can then draw it, and oversee its ex*****on with the full capabilities of a seasoned architect or contractor. (Do not even ask me how many tape measures we have lying around EVERYWHERE!!). She describes things that my brain can’t even comprehend, but I have learned to just go with it because in the end, whatever it is, it’s more spectacular than I could ever have imagined. And now she has added the last piece to the puzzle and is channeling her efforts into the world of real estate. As usual, she has not disappointed and has tossed her name in with the best of the best. Congratulations to all these fine LRB agents, but a special shout out to the lady that appears to be pushing me into retirement. She is THE BIG CHEESE!!
