Broken Glasses

I was removing my glasses last night, and I realized that the eye piece was still on my nose. So, all day at work, my lens were resting on my nose which meant that my glasses were lower than usual. I had to tilt my head back to my butt in order to see what I was trying to do. I went to the optical company, and they are putting my lenses in new frames. Different color; same style. (I hope it doesn't affect my looks too much).

I got my haircut. She cut a little more off than I had planned on. Then, I went to CVS to buy some cheaters since my glasses will not be ready for a day or two. So, I have cheaters, short hair, and I am styling!

It is amazing how much we take for granted until it is gone. I miss my glasses. I get aggravated at having to wear them, but if I don't, I'm pretty much blind when it comes to reading or trying to do anything at close range. Getting old is not fun! I need to hold everything at arms length in order to see it, but my arms are so weak; they hurt.

Well, I better go. I am working 4 to 12 the next two days, and I still need to do my bible study.

Love to all,

Hang Onto the Memories

That is how I plan to survive the next couple of weeks. As I mentioned before, I have sold the 3 acres where our house used to sit, and we cleaned the rest of our items out of the barn today. I said goodbye to the property, but not to the memories. I have an offer on the farm, so I imagine it will be sold within the next week.

It is not easy letting go of your childhood home, nor is it easy to let go of the first homesite that my partner and I shared, but I will never let go of the memories of the times shared with family and friends. Our home was a gathering place. Every September, we would host a campout/cookout in our back yard. Our friends would bring their tents and campers, and we would build a fire in the pit to gather around. We ate, we laughed, we even sometimes cried, but we always had fun.

Our friends are heading back from North Carolina today, and we pray for their safe travel. It is a long drive, but it was worth the time we were able to spend together.

We got to see my GodGranddaughter today. She is the light of my life, and I believe she knows it. She could not wait to see what we brought her from The Outer Banks. She looked absolutely gorgeous in her crab sunglasses. And, her "plip plops" fit her perfectly. She was really styling.

We are going to dinner with my partner's niece and her mother. It will be fun spending time with them.

We pray for blessings on everyone,
Sisters

The Party's Over

My partner and I left at 10:00 pm. on Wednesday night to head back home. We arrived at 1:30 pm. on Thursday. Needless to say, we were totally exhausted. We stopped at a rest part and slept for a little while, and then we drove again. Next time, I believe we will fly.

We had a great time visiting with our friends, and the Outer Banks is absolutely beautiful. I neve thought I would say this, but I actually got my fill of seafood. It was fresh and delicious, and you do not leave hungry.

We slept most of the day and the evening. We are getting ready to put our luggage away, and then we are heading South to finish cleaning out our barn.

I can't think of the words to describe the friends that we left behind in N.C. I guess a better description would be "family." We have been to hell and back; we have experienced nearly everything any person could, and we are still friends..."heart" friends. I wouldn't trade any one of them for a billion dollars.

To the Indiana Cornfed: please have fun, and be careful on your return trip. WE LOVE YOU, and we miss you. Sorry that circumstances worked out the way they did, but I am so happy to be selling the property. It is time.

Love to all,
Sisters
