(A friend used to have a home and gifts store and she sold cool reading glasses because most of her customers were old enough to need them! When I was closing in on those ranks, I tried on a pair of black frames – the one "male" style she carried – and she convinced me to try on the tortoise instead. Big difference! She ordered that pair for me and I've finally starting wearing them on a regular basis.)<br /><br />And I share your distaste for cameras generally. I was at an event a few weeks ago with a "famous" friend and his wife offered to take a picture of us. I had no desire to but she was keen to do it. I should have given her my phone so I had control of the image. :o ) And yup, I look awful. But I've let it go. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06629186602501399976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-81126247045576238052018-05-27T07:29:38.471-04:002018-05-27T07:29:38.471-04:00Rosemary

I like yours. I like your photos, too. I like the fun layering of images; I think it's a nice "reflection" of who you are, with your antiques and architectural elements, and your modern phone. Your smile. A great way to present yourself.jusaweecatnaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242239276015084838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-47072081170818510912018-05-26T17:19:39.013-04:002018-05-26T17:19:39.013-04:00Nice looking frames and they seem fitting on you.

I have been saving mine and am determined to make a short trip next week to Millburn, NJ to New Eyes for the Needy.

Or I might go into NYC to try on and order inexpensive ones from Warby Parker because I love their giving back program. 2.5 billion people around the world need glasses but don’t have access to them; of these, 624 million cannot effectively learn or work due to the severity of their visual impairment. To help address this problem, we work with a handful of partners worldwide to ensure that for every pair of glasses sold, a pair is distributed to someone in need. <br />xo, RosemaryContent in a Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075511188721176895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-17889914261225873852018-05-26T09:11:22.558-04:002018-05-26T09:11:22.558-04:00Rosemary, lovely photo (I am so like you.

I was aiming for something similar but the faux tortoise naturally is not so lovely and I wish the frames were a tad bit larger. But, I can see!!!! Not that I couldn't before. But, signs are more crisp. Oh, such decisions. Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15416829676337940637noreply@blogger.com
