Gas just dropped back down to under $3/gallon out here. The last few weeks it was at $3.09.

Around the same for us.

Lovely...

Yeah, unfortunately my eyes can no longer see up close with my glasses, and I refuse to get bifocals. Do they make contact lenses with bifocals? Even so, I'm terrible at putting lenses in my eyes, even if it's not often. I get frustrated after about 10-15 minutes of effort.

They make lineless bifocals. They look like regular glasses. They are more costly however.

I guess I don't have a good reason other than I associate them with being old. I can handle looking silly.

I've had bifocals for years. I don't think about that anymore. I couldn't use the progressive lenses, as I only use one eye at a time.

I have nothing against hunting (as long as people eat what they shoot), anyway it is not for me. It seems boring and cold. I'd rather go fishing (not ice fishing), as that too is boring (to me anyway).

We did eat what they shot. This was back in the early 50's, and it was common in our area to supplement our garden with meat.

We had -18 here, it was pretty chilly.

My freezer is not that cold!

Hahaaa...!
I almost included an apology for no pic in that post, but it wasn't my fault...that whole sandwich jumped in my belly before I ever knew what happened...!

That happens to me a lot!

I just now "ketchuped" to this post. I don't mind my age. I don't act it so it's all good.

Me either, as DD says I'm young at heart.

Good morning everyone. I got up late today, but I have my lunch going in the slow cooker, so all is good. The only thing left to do is sauté some sweet potatoes with bell peppers, and onion.

And it is still snowing.........

Sorry, have I mentioned I hate snow!

Thanks.

I always push the thermostat down an hour before I climb into bed. Tonight I pushed it up. Crazy. I can hear the wind. But tomorrow should be worse. Joy Joy

We turn our thermostat down at night too. I love climbing in bed and having it all warmed up.

Well when we Golden Gal's and tack on Dude's move into our Florida digs I think we should all take a detour road trip for dinner one Sunday afternoon. The restaurant is owned by our Cubs Manager.

I can see distance just fine. Up close, well those days are long gone. I still have piles of cheaters laying around the house and in the car but a couple years ago it got old. If I forgot to bring the readers into the store I could see expiration dates on food products, I couldn't read prices alway on clothing or sizes. I found myself asking my DD everytime I forgot readers to read for me and if I didn't bring glasses into the restaurant I felt like I was illiterate having someone read to me. I'm now on my second set of bifocals. My cheaters still work better on the computer because of the angle but and I don't wear glasses generally around the house but when I leave the house I put on the bifocals that have window glass for distance so I can function. I got away with cheaters for many years but there just came a time....

Yes, been there done that. Except I'm near sided.

We're going to have fun this weekend my younger ds is going to tie dye some shirts for our trip. I just hope he doesn't dye our whole house. We still have to go over our ADR list. We never got to that but all the Christmas stuff is away.

I'm doing really good. I rode my bike yesterday afternoon, and all is good. I did take your advice and go slow!
