My glasses literally sit two different places if they're not on my face. On my nightstand while I'm sleeping. Or on the bathroom counter while I'm showering. Other than that, they're always on my face. I would not be able to function on a day to day basis without them. My eyesight is horrible.
My wife had that same problem and my daughters as well but not quite as bad. Mine was always 20/20 or very close. I have lenses with a slight prescription but not bad enough that I need them for driving or any distance situation. However, I can't see much when it comes to up-close. I wear glasses only because I have to have glasses with me anyway in the event I have to read something so I figured I might just as well have trifocals and at least I will know where they are.

Looking (tee hee) into the future, when my wife got older and developed cataracts all of a sudden, after surgery, she had 20/20 and no longer needed glasses, I had the opposite reaction to cataract surgery, mine got slightly worse, Not awful, so I never wear glasses at home and outside I take advantage of the Transition lenses.

So, we got an early start today and went to Home Depot. Our gifted Koolatron melted through another power cord, so I’m done trusting it. (It will become a static ice-filled cooler for the rest of the trip.) We need a 12v cooler to get things home, and then back down 3 weeks later, so that’s now been accomplished.

Pics from the parking lot of Home Depot. It’s so beautiful everywhere here.

Another shot of the Little Pigeon River. This one from the highway.

Tanger Outlets … early in the morning … on a Sunday? How busy can it be?

Answer - VERY!

As you can see from pics, I unapologetically camp in sundresses. Today’s came from the Old Navy Outlet the other day. $17.99; they had hundreds. Today? ZERO.

What they did have was 30% off the dress I refused to pay full price for the other day. I bought two of them in different colours, and then a different style. You’ll see a lot of them in FL pics too.

The no mask portion of my holiday is nearing an end. I’ll go back to full time indoor wearing tomorrow, although the lineup at Walmart last night and the Old Navy today both looked like COVID soup, so I masked up. (Just a reminder, I help care for my beloved Auntie, and must remain infection free for her sake.)

Oops, rewind. I went back to the cookie store while Mike stayed in the COVID soup line to pay for my dresses.

I originally got 7, but added one more bag after I took the pic.

Back at the trailer, watching the Jays, NOT eating cookies. Yet.

Absolutely gorgeous day here today.
Spent an hour or so in the lazy river.

The park has emptied right out. If this week is anything like last, it will slowly pick up throughout the week, and then blammo! mobbed on the weekend!

Tomorrow’s weather is not looking so great. Probably a good day to get up early and hit the Titanic Museum right at opening. That’s the plan for now anyway.

It is raining cats and dogs, and as my dad would say, the angels are bowling; and boy oh boy are they ever getting a lot of strikes.

I got back from the shower house and we managed to batten down the hatches just in the nick of time.

There will be no barbecuing or Blackstoning tonight. Nuked leftovers it is. Or cookies.
