Pointy hats will be delayed until Sunday; my daughter's tribe is having lots of guests at the campground on Saturday, so we will have a quieter celebration on Sunday. Woody is preparing a roast leg of lamb with oven roasted veggies (potatoes, onions, and carrots) to deliver hot from the oven and DD will prepare some green beans and dinner rolls. I have a bottle of Mateus a-chillin’
Heaven knows when dinner will be served – the store doesn't post the work schedule for the week starting on Sunday until Saturday (sure makes planning easy).
Woody's work has provided a new Vision Care plan which has providers in the neighborhood (the old plan had you traveling 40 minutes to the nearest office). The plan covers exam/lens/frames at no charge (with $50 extra for Progressive lens). So, I suspect a visit to the eye doc is in the offing (it's been nearly six years).
Medicare does not cover “preventative medicine”, so they now have to pick up the tab to treat my advanced Glaucoma that could have been treated earlier, and most likely cheaper, with a proper screening. And, since the Medicare-covered Glaucoma work-up includes dilation, there is only a $25 charge for refraction.
