It's My Life!: May 2015

I can see clearly now (and boy is my house DUSTY!) ...

Had the cataract surgery last week. Left eye on Wednesday, right eye Thursday, follow-up Friday. (I certainly am tired of going to Bloomington.) Just wonderful that family, friends and especially our church family have been sending positive thoughts and prayers my way this past week, and thank you for that. Means more than I can express in those two words. The anticipation was much worse than the actual surgery. After the first day, the only bad thing about the second day was the IV (but if you know me you know I HATE needles). The Eye Center is just a marvelous place and I recommend it. Soooooooooooooo ... therefore, I can definitely see more clearly now. Don't have to wear my glass except for close up and they gave me a pair of 2X reading glasses that will do. And I think I could do with just that now, but must say I'm not used to taking my glasses off so when I stop reading or hooking or whatever and look up or get up to move around with those reading glasses on, Wow! So I may go back to the graduated lenses with a new Rx ... Just wanted you to know, if cataract surgery is in your future it is so easy and practically painless.

Today I cleaned the great room. I'm seeing the dust now and it really needed it. If you know me you know that my theory of housecleaning is that things look clean if the room is picked up and clutter free. But you can only push that theory so far. So today I moved and cleaned and vacuumed and dusted and it looks (and smells) so much better. Such a beautiful day, too. Breezy and cool. I'm airing quilts on the deck.

Recently Wendell & I went to a car show in Huntingburg. It was a beautiful day and they had cars on both sides of the street for 2 blocks in the downtown area. So much fun! Here's just a few of the pictures I took that day ...
