Happy Birthday Skarpi!!!!! I just turned 50 this past Saturday, and I can tell you that my 40s were a lot better than my 30s, and I fully expect my 50s to be better than the decade that preceded them.

The thing with the eyesight can be annoying. I got glasses in my 40s--one prescription for reading, and a different one for distance that I need when I'm driving. Now I have four pairs of glasses--two of the distance kind (clear and sunglasses)that I keep in the car, a pair of reading glasses that I keep at work, and another that I keep at home. I don't need to wear any glasses at all for most things, so bifocals won't work. I had to get different color/style frames for the different purpose glasses so I could keep them all straight. Now, if I could just remember where I put them....... *BG*

Hope you had a very happy day on the 18th!
Kathy
