Sunglasses

Last year I went on a marvelous trip to the Carribbean with my husband. In preperation for this I thought I would spring for a new pair of sunglasses. I went out and got them and proudly modeled them for Rick. He just kind of looked at me and ask where I got them. He didn't have a hard time believing me when I replied, "The Dollar Store, of course"(that is where I always get them). He simply said something like, "you get what you pay for". Well ever since then I have been kind of toying with the idea of buying real sunglasses.

I don't think I have ever had any before. Maybe when I was a kid since they didn't have dollar stores back then- but I don't really remember. So last weekend while we were shopping with my Mom I tried some on. Rick and I had a good time putting them on and sizing oursleves up in the tiny little mirrors they kindly supply for you to see yourself. When I noticed they were on sale I started wondering if today would be the day to actually do it. Buy my first pair of non dollar store sun glasses. Well I found a pair I thought were tolerable and went to show Tess. She immediately said, No and shook her head. So I went back to try again, and again and again. Well finally she said - I like those. The problem was it was the first pair I had tired on, so I didn't know if she had finally come to realize that no pair would look good and was getting tired of the game or she really liked them. I decided not to stress myself out over it so I just bought them. I think Rick was pretty glad I did too because at the check out stand they had a basket of shoe horns. Rick really likes shoe horns so he inquired after the price - it made his day when the checker said, "oh they are free you can have one." He was thrilled with his free shoe horn, I was thrilled that I now owned sunglasses that cost more than a dollar and Kevin and Tess were most likely thrilled to be done with our insanity.
