NOT MY GRANDMA'S GLASSES!

-










I go to a Senior Center once a week to 
play Bingo.  I've made a few friends since 
I've been going there. Most of the seniors there no longer drive. The city offers transportation for them.  They must schedule a pick date and pay a small 
fee for their transportation. 

A lot of the ladies told me they stopped driving due to visual problems. I must 
admit I couldn't pass my driver's test a 
few years ago.  My old glasses did not 
help me see the small print.
I plan to get an eye exam before my
driver's license expire again.  I'm on 
the computer for long periods of time
daily. So, I doubt that my vision has improved!

I have a hard time choosing a nice pair 
of glasses. I don't want trendy glasses 
young people wear. But, I do not want 
granny glasses either!  First, I'll do my homework. I saw a TV show that said 
that the classic black rimmed glasses 
are trendy now.

I am studying charts which show the 
glasses you need for the shape of your 
face. 

Here are some charts like looked at:


I have a oval shaped face, so according
to this chart, I need rectangular frames.
Some other charts also suggested round,
butterfly, and aviator frames.


Here are a few glasses that I have on my wish list:

HOW I AM AGING GRACEFULLY, WELLNESS

  I didn't want to acknowledge that I was  getting older.I got offended when store clerks said, Yes ma'am".  I realized that age 40 was old to most young people. I couldn't deny aging any longer when I  fell one morning sprinting out of bed.My friends and I had a good laugh because  all of them had fallen out of bed too.We shared our techniques for arising safely out of bed each morning.  We check to see which joints are working.I admitted that I  hold onto the wall until my joints loosen up. Most days my joints tell me  when a storm is coming.  I have had a few allergic reactions  pop up to foods  I have been eating since childhood.This is very annoying.I would be devastated if I ever developed any allergy to coffee or chocolate. I have to make my coffee  weaker now and I can live with that!! I can eat too much dark chocolate since it gives me indigestion.   Hey,  I know what to do. I'm resourceful, I only eat a little at a tim

SPANISH LLADRO ANGEL FIGURINES SENIOR MOMENT COLLECTIBLES (SMC) I began collecting angels after  I saw an article in the guide post  magazine. The lady had a picture of her angel collection on the first page. I thought this was a great  hobby. Now I have three curio cabinets full of angels. My husband realized I was  a serious about my angel collection. He began buying me beautiful angels for my Christmas present.  He even  bought me the curio cabinets to put them in.  I even had friends who collected  frogs, elephants, penguins, and sock monkeys. We helped each  other hunt for collectibles.Some of them bought me angels when  they traveled overseas. I have   beautiful angels from Africa and Hawaii because of my traveling friends. MY TIPS FOR COLLECTING: * Do research on the Internet for list of items people collect * Choose one item that interest you.  Some people do theme collecting like vintage toy

I love wearing jeans. They are  more enjoyable when they fit well. They flatter your figure. I am very envious when I see  a classy senior lady looking good in her denim outfit. I  have seen that crisp white  shirt, flattering jeans and a nice pair of boots. I was inspired to put more effort  into my attire after I saw a jeans show on Rachel Ray show.  Her guest explained that you have to find the correct jeans for your  body type.  I know they make  skinny jeans to fit every woman, but I must pass on this style. I have seen some denim styles that  I have tried to copy. They are classy and flattering. Here are some of the styles:
