I guess that  everyone gets “the talk”. Someone gave it to me and I passed it on.

I didn’t think that I needed a cane or a monocular. I was working on a job site, the lady that I was working with had macular degeneration. We talked extensively about the “ins and outs” and the “ups and downs” of the problem.  Then she said her cane was her biggest help. In crowds, it makes you noticed.  I didn’t think I needed one.

Blind or not, somethings donlt change.  Yesterday I went to the beach for the first time in fifteen years.  Three other ladies and I dragged our chairs, blankets, coolers, towels, and shoes over the sand to a spot just obove the first swell.  We laid everything out.  Blankets, food and drinks.  Set up the chairs, plopped down and the looked out at the ocean.  It was every bit as beautiful and calming as i remembered.  And I found out, I missed.  I baked to a lovely lobster red and I love it.  Can’t wait to go next week.
