At one of the boards I like to read, I happen to catch a topic title about her little girl getting glasses. Course, I had to peek. Turns out the Lions club there had a vision screening at their preschool and this 4 year old little girl with eye issues was caught. Now she's got glasses and I'm sure seeing much better.
We put out our drop off boxes for glasses and for the most part, get good glasses and sometimes, maybe they think we can use it, but we get broken glasses, too. Every little bit certainly helps.
Well, today I get to take mom so we can get perms. It's three weeks to our convention, so I've been sitting here punching out keys in fun foam, but am almost out. Guess after we drop mom off, off to Michael's or Joann's to pick up more. We figured we'd need at least 300 goodie bags. Yesterday after I got off work, we stopped off at Costco and picked up cookies and candy to go into the bags. We have pens coming and will pick up water up there. Emil's also been busy making little pins say "Have you hugged a Lion today" and unfortunately, cut his finger working on the little suckers. He's also working on my scrapbook for the contest there, so hope that everything will be done in time! All I need now is to make sure someone can help us bring all this up, as the cookies and candy alone took up alot of the trunk space.
My dress for the "turn of the century" came, as did the crinoline slip. I tried it all on and boy, does it make me look ummm, how can I say this, bottom heavy! Guess I'm really glad I don't wear this everyday!
In June, we attend the Council of Governors. This will be where we'll meet all the new Vice District Governors and their spouses and this will be our council and the new District Governors will also be there with their spouses. We did meet some people at the last multiple district convention that will be here, so that will be nice to see them again.
In the first week of July, we go to the International Convention which is being held in Chicago this year. While Emil gets his training, I believe it's here that I also get to attend a class as to the proper conduct of the spouse. What, me in miniskirts and black fishnet nylons? LOL! I'm sure there's protocol to remember and all that. We had decided that while this is serious business, we HAVE to have FUN doing this. Otherwise, it'll make for a very grumpy few years.
On a personal note, my teeth seems to be going through this cycle of something going wrong. First my bridge broke (still haven't fixed it yet as they want to put implants in) but I had a root broken in a tooth that had to be repaired (took almost a week to feel human again) which was on the same side as the broken bridge. I have to avoid eating that side, so that worked out ok. Then I was supposed to get two crowns at my last visit, but didn't quite get there, as the tooth that was supposed to get a crown needed a root canal. So now I can't eat anything hard of either side, since it's still sore. Good thing for yogurt and bannanas and rice porridge.
