AM - no work

Have the morning off. Sharon's in the office. Kind of nice and relaxing. Yesterday, we went into town for an eye appointment for Sharon. It was at Valley West Mall. So, of course, I did some looking around. I'll explain later why we had to have an appt for Sharon. I noticed that there was a Verizon kiosk right in front. I've been getting phone calls and emails to change phones, plans, etc. What a perfect opportunity. Picked out my phone right away. Changed phone plans and got a new "air card". Sharon's been trying out her new phone today. We're going back tomorrow to "exchange it". We can't get the Chicago Cubs ringtone. There are a couple of other features she wants, too. Guess "cheap/free" isn't always the best. Oh well.

Now, the reason for the eye appointment. Sharon took a little fall out by the pool Sunday night. She had her glasses on and one lens - well let's just say they weren't scratch proof. She's o.k. Just a few scrapes/bruises - one very nice black/purple eye. She's been putting off getting an eye exam for a few months. Now, with no glasses, no more. The exam went well. She has healthy eyes. The eye place was having buy one get one free. So two pairs of glasses were purchased. Actually, one but she could pick out a different frame for the other. Also, new contacts were ordered. In just a few days, everything will be back to "normal". She's still walking pretty stiff but working in the office seems to help keep the stiffness down. That's a good thing. I'm going to try and take a picture of her eye so you all can see it. :) She'll probably figure it out though.

Things are going well. No new news on the house. There's always July.

Well, now we have a plan with some texting allowed. Got a flip phone with a qwrty keyboard. I'll be trying that next. Hope everyone is having a great summer. Only 42 more days until the Iowa State Fair.

Next post - will be some of the stories from the campground.
