Happy week!


I hope that you are all having a lovely week ~ I am sending my dear friends some red roses.

How did we get on before the Internet?
From about 5pm last night I have been able to send emails, but not receive them.
The service has been down and I imagine there are many irate people not able to do their work.
I have just been greeted with 353 emails in my Inbox, Grrr!... most of which have already been sent through before. So now I will have to go through and sort them all out.
I do hope that they will be able to fix this problem soon and have us all back on line again.


Senescent comes to us all and I was surprised when I went for a check up at the Optician to find that my long distant sight was not as good as it was. Reading the chart was all a wee bit blurry.
I have never had to wear spectacles for driving but that now needs to change.
For a while, I have had to wear glasses when I read, sew my bears or do needlework.
These are the eyewear that I like ~ do you like these? I will probably go with the black or the dark brown.

I quite like these ones too .... which ones if any, do you like? I did have a pair of these Cats eye glasses about 15 years ago.

Enjoy the rest of the week.
Hugs
Carolyn

  1. Ohhhh, 353 emails?!?!?! WOW!!! If our internet is down, I still can get my email through my Blackberry, addicted I know, LOL

    I like the cat eye ones, dark brown :)

    I used to wear glasses for driving but I no longer need them for driving but a definite MUST for reading, working on miniatures, basically anything closeup.

    I used to be able to ask hubby to read bottle labels but not any longer, LOL, as he needs glasses too!

    Thank you for the lovely roses :)

    xxoo

  2. Oh the dramas of the internet! Cute glasses. I wear glasses all the time but can't wear the kind that sit directly on the bridge of your nose. I have a scar from childhood and it irritates it, makes me feel like I need to sneeze constantly! Hope you have a happy week too!

  3. Thanks for visiting Marsha and Sares.
    The 353 emails are about the last weeks worth, such a hassle and it is still not right, as I can go through on blogger and get your two messages.
    Oh well I will have to be patient and will go and have a cup of coffee.

    Hugs

  7. Hi Carolyn,
    Oh I'm crazy for those cat glasses. I'm thinking the bottom one is my favorite. I'm overdue for an eye exam myself!

  8. Oh you're too sweet sending such a lovely bouquet of roses - the reds have such a beautiful fragrance.

    Ooo the cats eyes definitely.
    I would go for the palest ones because I'm very fair, therwise the middle ones would be my pick.

    All those emails - where is the problem Carolyn?
    I hope they sort it for you soon...

  16. OMG Carolyn! I'm dying to have those glasses on the last image /you know it looks like the one what Samantha wears in the Sex and the City 2, in her office with her panties down :-)/. I couldn't find them anywhere in Europe...or Asia. Can you please help me out with the name of it, so I can search for it on the net? I'm not sure what's the proper name of this style /for me it's cat style/...

    Million thanks! You are my hero :-)

    I hope your week is off to a fabulous start...cheers: Evi

  19. Ha! I can never make up my mind on frames. However, I did ask my daughter's opinion once and I really don't like the ones I ended up with when I went with her suggestion. So sorry to hear about your computer problems. It's quite something when you think about it, how we all have come to rely on a machine.

  20. How did we all cope before the internet? In one word - badly!!

    Hope your week is going well!

    Hugs

    XOXO Lola & Nora:)

  22. I hae internet hiccups... very annoying and I too often wonder how we survived without it before? I'm torn between the first set of glasses and the cateye ones... definitely go for a darker frame though!

  24. Oh, the agony of having to wait days or weeks or even months to receive a reply to a letter through the post. Remember those days?

    You know, I was just thinking I need to make an eye appointment. Things just aren't as clear as they used to be. *sigh* The cat eyes are stylish!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Which ever glasses you choose, I know you will be darling in them!!!
    I would faint if I ever saw that many e-mails in my inbox Carolyn. Can you believe that I have only had e-mail for two years...yeah, I'm a slow starter.LOL!
    You have a lovely week as well dear friend.
    hugs

  26. I spent my morning at the eye doctor- not the highlight of my day for sure. The saddest thing about aging is poor eyesight, really cute glasses almost make up for it!
    I love the dark brown glasses!


    Thank you so much Carolyn for your sweet visits- I have had little time to visit my sweet blogging friends but I want you to know that I ALWAYS appreciate your visits and the kindness you leave my way. Thank you so much.


    Sweet blessings to you.
    xoxo

  27. Hi Carolyn, I am not a fan of computer problems either. I hope it is fixed for you soon.

    Love all the glasses. I am like you, can not see far. Up close I do great and need no glasses or anything. Thank God, since I paint and so small little work at times.

    I now wear one contact and view long distance with the right eye and read with the left. I have adjusted well.

    Love the red roses. You are so kind to share them with us all.
    Have a wonderful week.
    Hugs, Celestina Marie

  28. Hi Carolyn, It's hard to tell which style and color suits you the best without seeing you wearing the glasses. I'm sure you'll look great with the pair you choose. Without my glasses I'm a little mole :-).
    I'm sorry about your computer problems. Fighting with such things always feel like waisted time but I can hardly imagine how life was without computers.
    Hugs to you,
    Julia

  31. Tell me about it Carolyn! I failed the eye test on my driver's license renewal! What a shock. I have glasses for reading, but never needed them for distance. Quite a surprise! Age. Don't you hate it?
    I would love a pair of the tortoise glasses....am looking for them around here with no luck. Guess I will check the 'net.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Ugh I hate it when my internet goes down. Hope everything is up and running smoothly again.

    Fabulous choices for the glasses. I'm all about the cat eye ones. And I like the dark brown best.

    Hope you're having a fabulous week! xoxo

  33. Carolyn, so sorry you had to deal with Internet problem! I now how upsetting it could be even more so when you have so much mail to deal with! Well, do not be surprised, but I love all th frames. I would keep them all: one I would wear and I would creat the hat out of the rest!:-)))

  34. Hi Carolyn

    Wow, do you work out of your home-so many emails! I would not like that... I hate it when the cable goes out! but I usually get more done :)
    I don't wear glasses either but I do need the cheaters to read. Some time ago I just couldn't see especially night driving so I broke down and went to the eye Dr and found out I have cataracts. That was a shock, I was legally blind and the Doc didn't even want to hear that I had been driving... I had surgery on one eye but need it on the other... I will do that after the holidays. yuk
    Blessings to you today

    Ha... funny the verification word was "focus"

  35. What a pain Carolyn! I am so reliant on the internet for everything! You must have been pulling your pretty hair out.

    As for the specs, I am partial to the cateyes in the middle. :-)

    Happy Wednesday,

  46. Hi Maria Cecilia,
