Pure Gold!<BR/><BR/>Once upon a time, Red Headed Snippet had glasses to correct a potentially lazy eye. Being the offspring of me and The Viking and also only 5 years old at the time, she promptly lost them. We looked everywhere. Begged and pleaded. Gone forever. Until Spring came and my mother mowed the lawn in her back yard. Fortunately, we were covered by Lenscrafters' free replacement policy. I took the remains to the store in a small brown paper bag and, without a word, dumped the twisted metal and shattered glass fragments on the counter. The nice young man looked at the mess in front of him and gasped, "I've never seen anything like this before!" I simply said, "The lawn mower won." She got new glasses and the threat of being forced to wear an "idiot strap" on them if she ever took them off outside again.<BR/><BR/>And I am so glad you're back! Though I find the idea that you need to be able to see to type kind of suspicious.Pippajohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651166001450622296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30608643.post-67724143543372350472007-11-28T08:05:00.000-05:002007-11-28T08:05:00.000-05:00Jay- I missed you.

And I blush gratefully!<BR/><BR/>Lucy- baby i was going to call and see if things were ok. When you read the post after next about how your nephew totally kicked it up about three notches, you will understand why i didnt get to the phone. If I dont get to it, when the spotted red carpet catches your eye on friday, ask me about it.<BR/><BR/>Lisa- Baby Im sorry! I never know I am going to be gone until I am. You have my email right?
