I’m sorry to have left you in the lurch. The main problem is failing eyesight. That doesn’t help with knitting either.
Wordle seems to be scraping the bottom of the barrel. I suppose there are only so many five-letter words in the language. Yesterday Rachel and Ifailrd, with high scores elsewhere, Today Mark and I got twos
I heard a little talk on the radio about children’s books. The speaker was younger than I am and mentioned some authors I don’t know. She omitted two: Beatrix Potter and Lewis Carroll. How is that possible?. How did an editor fail to catch it? Alice is more quoted than Shakespeare these days.
I’ll try to write again soon. I’m expecting new glasses. That might help.

Jean, I am so happy to have you back and posting! I agree about Wordle stretching rather far for new words. Best wishes from The Other Kristen (currently in Galway, usually in NY State)
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear from you! I hope the new glasses are a success. Take care.

ReplyDeleteHi Jean, glad to hear from you. Hope the new glasses are good. A home optician visit is such a good idea; I had one last month and he was able to fix up a special pair for playing the piano after watching me at the keyboard. They've made all the difference; I had been been struggling to see music and keys for years and years.

Hi! A home optician visit should help adjust the prescription for what you normally do. Mine is for driving and seeing the dashboard, but I have a separate pair for close work and tablet reading. It makes a big difference.
ReplyDeleteWeather in Maryland has turned cold, in the 40s overnight. It was fairly clear during the day but overcast at night, so not much hope of seeing the comets.
It is so very good to hear from you! I wish you all the best with your new glasses
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear from you. Prayers that the new glasses help!!!

I was just about to send an inquiry to Helen but you resurfaced. Would enlarging the print help at all? The Senior Cat (aka my father) borrowed something that helped do that. It was good for print but not for pictures. Cat
