DH had a potluck lunch to attend at the place he volunteers at. This is my effort at a Christmassy plate of sweets. He wasn't too sure about my idea of using some sprigs of Cedar .
This morning I took my prescription for new bifocals to a place in the local mall. A lovely young person was very helpful, directing me to the display of much less expensive frames ( regular ones were around $400) and for $149 I found ones I like. Although I tried on 3 pair I went with the first one. I couldn't believe my good fortune. Now I have to wait 2 weeks to actually get them but it's a relief to have that settled.
Thanks for visiting, G.M.
The glasses I have now, I got not long before my husband died. I remember my shock, after having chosen the ones he liked best, to find out that they cost SO much. The frames!! I think it was $400 -- or maybe it was more, I blocked it out of my mind.
ReplyDeleteFor the last year I've been trying to get to a different, I hoped less expensive optometrist that my insurance plan also pays a little for, for a check up. This week was my appointment and I didn't need new lenses, so I only had a small co-pay. I was thrilled no end. It's crazy, isn't it, how they can cost so much?? I'm glad you found frames that were more reasonable. Thank God!
I love the added cedar it give it a really lovely seasonal touch. Good news on the glasses, thankfully you managed to find a cheaper pair, what a price.
ReplyDeleteYour cookie plate looks festive and delicious. Good new on the glasses.
ReplyDeleteYour treats look great! I love the greenery under them. Nice touch.
ReplyDeleteI have to get glasses this month too. On my list for this week so I can claim them on our benefits before the end of the year. Fun times! Glad you were able to find some so quickly and at a decent, very decent price!

I can't wait to see your new glasses!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great saying!
ReplyDeleteMmm, looks scrumptious to me, and I adore the cedar sprigs!
ReplyDeleteThe cookies look delicious, and pretty! So glad you found the glass that you like and at a reasonable price.
ReplyDeleteYour dainties look scrumptious and very festive with the cedar sprigs. I'm glad you found less expensive frames and am looking forward to seeing them! The frame of my one pair cracked into two at work this week and I didn't have my spare ones along but luckily our custodian had crazy glue!

Your cookie plate looks lovely. I never would have thought of putting greens on a plate. I'm glad you found some affordable glasses. I tend to have my glasses for years and years because they are so expensive and I can't figure out why.... most are just plastic!!
ReplyDeleteYour plate looks very festive! :)
