The optometrist kept looking at my age on one side of the chart, and then looking at what he'd determined on the other side of the chart... I said "If I need 'em, I need 'em, I just want to be able to see." I think they're great.scbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048966584552769915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-80257983344994841752007-12-05T15:40:00.000-07:002007-12-05T15:40:00.000-07:00You didn't mislead me!I mis-read it.I had an eye a...You didn't mislead me!<BR/>I mis-read it.<BR/><BR/>I had an eye appointment last week.

I loooove Turkey soup, Turkey pot pie, and turkey sandwiches. <BR/>Someone once told me the following joke:<BR/>"What's the definition of eternity?<BR/>Two people and a Turkey."<BR/> <BR/>Yep, that would be heaven.Alana in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440969357242099169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-33195409309030557482007-12-04T07:29:00.000-07:002007-12-04T07:29:00.000-07:00Yum. I used to bake sceenteen batches of cookies ...Yum. I used to bake sceenteen batches of cookies at Christmas... now that neither Mum nor I can eat 'em, and Dad can't eat that many, I don't do nearly as much baking. Maybe the fragrance of your baking cookies will carry over this far??? (at least in my imagination...)<BR/><BR/>The Christmas Eve and Christmas Day menus sound delish, too. Especially the quiche. [But I was relieved to read that you will have the opportunity to eat turkey at some point. I'm a stodgy traditionalist, there's no help for it. ;) ]scbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048966584552769915noreply@blogger.com
