The wedding luncheon

I was so grateful to all the family who came to the ceremony and luncheon. There were tributes and a slide show (created by Tiffany).   What a happy day!

I'm very grateful

for hearing aids.  Particularly now because my best ear, my left one, has some kind of infection.  The mold won't fit in well and it hurts to talk on the phone or put any pressure on it.  So I've been basically hearing about 1/4 of anything that is said.

I went into Costco and had my hearing tested last week, and he referred me to an Ear Nose and Throat specialist.  That appointment is on Tuesday.  He said I am very close to being profoundly deaf, which is not a surprise, and that I would probably be a candidate for implants at some point.

Anyway, that is why I am so grateful for hearing aids.  For the most part, I can function like a normal person (I know, that is debatable) as long as they are working.

The one thing I can hear well, though, is the little voice in my head that says, "You need to go to thrift stores and find more containers and boxes so you can better organize the house."   I don't have any problem hearing that little voice at all.  

Guess what

I'm contemplating as I sit surrounded by organizing messes.

We enjoyed

View from Chick-fil-a

our free Chick-fil-a meal (from the calendar the Roylances gave us) for dinner tonight.  Since we were right across the street from DI, and I wanted to find a hand vacuum for the craft room, I gave Gary a grand tour.  I gave him a play by play of my methods and madness in navigating this new haunt of mine.

Of course, baskets can't be ignored either.

But the real highlight of the evening was that Gary found a book on investing that he had to have.

In fact, Gary was so impressed that he said he would go to DI with me at least once a quarter.   

And by the way, I found a vacuum.
