THEY HAVE ARRIVED!

No, not the kids. Sorry! However, Allen's new glasses DID make their debut appearance this week. Thursday afternoon, Allen looked at me and said, "Mary, do you notice anything different about me?" I turned around to get a good look at him. My first thought was his hair. His hair does grow very fast and and it seems that he goes to get it cut about every 3 weeks.

Just as I was about to say something, I caught myself and took a second look. Thankfully, my quick thinking saved me from giving the wrong answer. It wasn't his hair, it was his glasses! I said (with much enthusiasm) "YOU GOT YOUR NEW GLASSES!!! WOW, I REALLY LIKE THEM!" He smiled and walked over so I could get a closer look. Ever so gently, he said, "Yes Mary, I have had my glasses since Monday and have been waiting for you to notice. I decided to give you until today to say something." Well, once again, I failed to notice how great my husband looked...with his new and different specs. I apologized profusely...again. Allen is truly a good person because he didn't seem too offended or rattled about the whole ordeal. I suppose he is used to it! Anyway, if you see my very handsome husband, take a look-see at his new glasses. They are very COOl...just like him!
