Thank you all for the birthday wishes. it was a very nice day. All went well and i got some nice things i can use on our planned trip soon. some new binoculars and some light weight hoodies for wearing in the sun. i hate sunscreen and camping does not make it easy to wash it off...

cathy I am a little shorter than i used to be, things were always a bit long. now its gotten ridiculous. petites are usually ok but its the waist to crotch length that often is not shortened. i hate it when pants wont stay up because of that. sometimes its not obvious until you wear...

carolyn thats terrific your daughter can be closer to you and also Emory. hope she is doing well with her treatment plan. DH is using his medication eye drops as he is supposed to but also is using lubricant drops. the cataract surgery itself can worsen dry eye. at least temporarily...
