Spectacles
It occurred to me, out of the blue, that the wedding photos will probably be taken outside. So what's the problem, you ask?  Well, my eyeglasses are transition lenses that go dark in the sunshine. If we are getting our photos taken outside I'll be looking like Stevie Wonder or Joe Cool. 


A friend at work, who also wears transition lenses, faced the same problem with her daughter's wedding.  The solution?  Buy an inexpensive pair of glasses that don't transition in the sun.  I asked my sister, who works for a major eye insurance company, the best way to find inexpensive glasses.  Her recommendation was to try Costco, JC Penney Optical or Lens Crafters, since they have sales from time to time. 


Sure enough, JC Penny Optical just had a sale.  I was able to purchase a great pair of frames with plain lenses for a very good price.  I'm one step closer to being ready for the weddings.  And that, of course, is a nice thing!
