My eye exam was the day before and it went well. He told me my eyes were healthy and since losing my sight has always been the worst sense to loose in my mind that was reassuring news. We celebrated at Hickory Park, a well known and highly touted restaurant in Ames Iowa.
Wednesday was the day for me to get my driver's license renewed. I have been in arrears since May 6th because in Iowa you have 60 days after your birthday to get it renewed and due to Covid-19 and Butch's broken leg I was unable to get it done. It would not have helped to come back sooner as the Courthouse was closed anyway. Now it is being done by appointment and by how much in arrears you happen to be, Butch was told to get an extension on his. He will not be behind until August 9th so he can wait. So he has his extension.
And today my main appointment was my haircut. It had been one month and two days since Liz had given me my last Texas haircut. I miss that girl!! She is a good one. I also like my Marcia haircuts in Iowa.
Keri and I took our bikes and made our way to the bridge just to see it.
This afternoon we had a very bad news phone call. Bill Brooker called to tell us their son Mark Brooker was killed in a biking accident in Houston Texas. Mark was Bill and Jo's youngest son and had turned 52 just yesterday. That threw us for a loop. Every time I think of Mark I see him smiling.
So on that sad news I will close for today.
