There comes a time when your arms are too short to read small print.

I have read about McMurtry and his Archer City bookstore. There was also a resident bookstore cat, I forgot what his name was...is he still there?<br /><br />I am learning to read again. I have been declared "of a certain age" and been placed into bifocals. This is my first week in them, and it has taken a little getting used to, but not as bad as I thought. The eye doc warned me last year that I needed to get reading glasses, particularly when I am in my contacts, which I rarely wear, and that this year I would likely need bifocals. And she was right. So here I am, focusing and refocusing, and learning all over. But it won't slow me down when it comes to devouring the printed word which I so love. <br /><br />Always good to be in the presence of another bibliophile.Sugar Magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17081429874378399282noreply@blogger.com
