You're processing your life, sharing your moment-to-moment truth, that is all, and i think it a privilege that I can come here and check in with you, and share hearts.<br /><br /><br />37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-23136464229988545162014-09-24T08:44:01.458-07:002014-09-24T08:44:01.458-07:00My mother likes to use the term

I enjoyed his faithfulness to his characters, his ability to allow us to see the beautiful vulnerability of them all. He describes the brutal and the beautiful with equaled awe. L.

I haven't needed glasses at all up to this point, but when I put them on to look at that street guide it was like the angels sang.<br /><br />It's been years since I read Lonesome Dove but I remember really liking it -- and genre-wise it's not something I'd normally go for. Life WAS hard on the most basic level for so many people for so long. It's still hard now, but in different ways -- less basic, more technological.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-13926622558502374412014-09-23T19:59:11.372-07:002014-09-23T19:59:11.372-07:00I love this post Elizabeth!

I was told I have the hearing loss of a ten year rocker. Go figure! My god what a difference. Far superior quality of life for my family and my business's partnet! Most fun part of your post though was reading that you're listening to Lonesome Dove. I had forgotten about that one. Loved it!!!! Thanks for writing and sharing. <br /><br /><br /><br />MaryLou Connollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10487084753413140281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-80747492539132942882014-09-23T15:23:09.879-07:002014-09-23T15:23:09.879-07:00I haven't read Lonesome Dove either.

You will never forget those characters. <br />But- how odd that your far-sightedness kicked in so quickly. For those of us who are near-sighted, it can come later in life than for normal-sighted people. I can still read quite well (books, at least) without my glasses but for tiny print, I need the bifocals. <br />I never think of you as whiney or complaining. Ever. Simply a relater of your life. No, none of us could survive what people just took as a life and a matter of course not even a hundred and fifty years ago. But as one of my friends pointed out once- they didn't have to drive in five o'clock traffic either. So there is that, my love.
