THOSE BEAUTIFUL NEW PATIO DOORS & EYE EXAMS....
By Olivene Godfrey
I think everybody who has ever visited us will be glad that after living in our house 26 years, we have finally replaced the aggravating, cloudy sliding glass doors that lead to the patio. While the patio is at the rear of the house, the driveway leads to those doors and that is the entrance that all of our visitors as well as ourselves uses.
We had the sliding, glass doors replaced last week with patio (French) doors. The carpenter and his two helpers had to modify the old door frame to fit the new door and some carpentry had to be done on the floor near the door, too. It was an all day complicated job. But, the new door and the floor to ceiling picture window beside the door gives us the pleasant feeling of being outside amidst the greenery and beauty of spring.
The new doors are also attractive and easy to get inside and outside and we are pleased with the carpenter's work. Son Barry made pictures of the new door and window to send to relatives.
We are still cleaning that part of the house as when the carpenters left, there was a film of sawdust all over every thing in the den and kitchen. But, we aren't complaining as we are so happy to have the new doors.
EYE DOCTOR....
Barry and I had early appointments one day last week with our eye doctor in nearby Dalton, GA. I have a tiny cataract on my left eye and last year the doctor prescribed new lens for my two pairs of glasses. This year, the cataract has grown and it is affecting my vision. So, the doctor gave me a prescription to have the left lenses updated. He says that vision in the left eye can be corrected for a while with new lenses but, eventually, I will need surgery.
Barry had his first complete eye exam. He has nearly perfect vision but lately he has been having problems reading fine print. The doctor said Barry's eyes are healthy and he advised Barry to buy drugstore reading glasses which he has already done.
The day of the exam Barry eyes were dilated, a new experience that he found unpleasant.
When we were ready to leave the doctor's office, I asked Barry if he thought he could drive us home. He donned his sunglasses and said he could see well enough to make the drive. During the drive home, I didn't agree with his statement as he scared me half to death and I said a prayer when we arrived home safely.
When we got home, we ate a light lunch and rested a while in the afternoon. Our eyes finally returned to normal but we were tired from the day's ordeal. So, Barry drove to town and bought us a bucket of KFC with side orders for supper which we ate with relish.
See you next week.
