So a funny thing happened once upon a time. Our extended family including, Nanny and Memaw, got together at my aunt and uncle's ranch house in the Texas hill country. We arrived before sunset and got settled into our rooms. Nanny and Memaw shared a room.
The next morning at breakfast Nanny and Memaw both said that their vision was blurry. We didn't know what to do and were concerned that they weren't well. The day passed, and the next day, and finally we realized that they had accidentally exchanged eye glasses. Their frames were identical.
Well into their 80's, they'd seen a lot of things to make one fret, but they were strong due in large part to their faith, humor and perspective of living life well. They laughed and laughed about it, perhaps because it meant that they didn't need a new prescription. It is a favorite memory.
