While opening another attic box I found my glasses from 1961. If you are 50 or older, you probably are familiar with this frame design … even includes sparkles! It’s funny how having glasses such as these seemed so cool to an eight year old … and now when glasses are required for daily living … I’d give anything to have 20/20 vision again.
How I miss my “freedom-from-frames” life … they steam up when you open the oven door … with our Oregon weather they are frequently covered with raindrops. But I am very thankful for my “magnified” life, as I wouldn’t even be able to read this print without them. If you ask me if I wear glasses full-time, I would say they are only for reading. But the truth is …. I'm starting to have them "on" more than "off" nowadays!

We got those glasses for you at Carkner's in the old office on Sandy Blvd. The father of the present day Carkner opticians did the fitting. I had a frame like yours but in black. We didn't need correction at that time, but you got attention at school and I got laughed at on the job. I did look funny!!! Love, Mom
