I’ve reached that point . . . you know, the time in your life where you are constantly faced with a certain conundrum . . .
Reading a new recipe, glasses on . . . turning on the mixer, glasses off!
Reading the marking on the measuring cup, glasses on . . . returning the eggs to the refrigerator, glasses off!
Reading the text from your teenage daughter (who happens to be just upstairs), glasses on . . . getting the mixer from the pantry, glasses off!
Responding to your daughter’s text, glasses on . . . refilling my coffee cup, glasses off!
Reading the next step on the recipe, glasses on . . . cutting dough, glasses off!
Reading the timing of the scones, glasses on . . . putting the tray into the oven, glasses off!
Dialing my mother’s phone number, glasses on . . . walking to the couch, glasses off!
Responding to the call of the oven timer . . .
Enjoying the deliciousness of a morning scone . . .
Drinking a quiet cup of coffee . . .
glasses off . . .
at least for the next minute!
I’m sitting here with glasses on, and I SO appreciate this conundrum. I get to decide each day whether to do contacts and see far away or no contacts and see close up. I love getting old.
Glad you’re slicing!

This made me giggle! I’m just now starting that journey of glasses on/glasses off, and I literally have thought recently…”Is this how it’s going to be??” It’s nice to not be alone! 🙂 Your slice was so much fun! Happy Slicing!

This is so beautiful. We baked the scone with you. I can relate to the glasses off and on too. I solved it by hanging it on a string around my neck as I spent too much time looking for it. You have solved a problem for me…the fact that we can write about everything in such a creative way. Well done!

I so enjoyed your slice. It put a smile on my face with the way you had the glasses on and then off. I could picture the scene in my mind. Thank you for sharing with us.

When I hit 40 (many moons ago), I needed 2 sets of glasses–one for far and one for near. Broke down and merged them, but not without spending a lot of $ so no one would know I wore bi-focals–as if… THANKS for the slice!
