This is another quick note with no pics.

I had several doctor’s appointments scheduled this summer when we will be in South Dakota. I moved most of them out into October, but I wanted to move my opthamologist in. I see in the distance OK, but I can’t make out details very well. It is difficult for me to read. It’s nothing terribly bad, just something that might need some attention. The doctor gave me an eyeglass prescription with more magnification so I will have an easier time reading, but he said my corrected distance vision is 20/30 and can’t be improved. He said my problem is that I am developing cataracts. When I can’t stand it any more, I’ll need surgery. I’m a long way from the surgery for sure. But I’m looking forward to getting my new glasses so I will have an easier time reading.

We took part 1 of a 2-part class on Greek art. It’s an adult education class offered through the community college. We learned a lot and enjoyed the class quite a bit. We’ll take the second part on Monday. We’re looking forward to it.

The other fun thing we did this week is attend a show given by the Chinese Golden Dragon Acrobats. It was at the Meyerhoff (where the Baltimore Symphony usually performs). It was quite entertaining. Danita and I had a very good time.

Next week is our last normal week. Joe’s wedding is coming up. Jul, Ryn, and Mark will all be here. People start rolling in Wednesday, May 10. Everybody will be gone sometime the following Monday. We’ll have 2 day for packing before leaving for South Dakota. Thank goodness for Danita’s lists!

I hope this finds everybody doing well.
