Day 746: Cataracts

One of these years, I will have to have cataract surgery like Steve and Mary.  It freaked me out today because Mary could see what the surgeon was doing even though she couldn't feel it.  He even gave directions to move her eye in different directions.  That was not the case for Steve.  He woke up and it was all over.  I definitely prefer his experience.

I had another productive day with editing the classes chapter and cut another two hundred words.  Sarah suggested that the cooking lesson should be a series of steps that could be easily followed so a novice instructor might look at it and say "I can do this." I hope that's what I've achieved.

The final three classes are instructions for the one, two and three day hikes.  I have copied and pasted the actual directions that we issue, but I don't know if that works as a model for another group or if I should provide general topics to address those days.

There are very few photography opportunities on these gray, dismal days, so I am reverting to favorite old photos.  Maybe I'm repeating, but that's ok.

During the summer of of 2003, Colin got orders for Korea.  We had a big family picnic as a send off and my sisters came north for the event.  This is one of my favorite pictures of my great aunt Edie and my sister Nancy.
