There is a 6 hour difference between where we are now and where you are. <br /><br />We will have to keep that in mind. In Ontario they want about $80 for an eye exam depending on where you go and how old or young you are. If you are lucky enough to have optical insurance with your work than chances are the exam will be covered. The only problem with some of these specials that they have is that they only have a limited amount of frames to choose from and they aren't always the most attractive.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-20568796896952894032012-09-21T13:04:58.865-04:002012-09-21T13:04:58.865-04:00Did you get to see the 13th Century Mappa Mundi in...Did you get to see the 13th Century Mappa Mundi in Hereford Cathedral which is the largest surviving one in the world?<br /><br />Rob2rob2https://www.blogger.com/profile/14439392143464927577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-86631426109017358802012-09-21T10:40:42.136-04:002012-09-21T10:40:42.136-04:00The cafeteria in the church is a strange site, I l...The cafeteria in the church is a strange site, I like the bottle though, too bad I live in a trailer and I'm sure it wouldn't fit (hehe)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263191567454481794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-56206168401634443912012-09-21T10:26:02.550-04:002012-09-21T10:26:02.550-04:00The eye exam is always a good idea.

As we get older there's a tendency for all that stuff back there to dry out and pull loose. Can you tell I have to have it done every year. So far so good for me. Love that old bottle. Can you fit it in to bring it back with you?Jim and Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108729200561576870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-22482020044349330332012-09-21T06:27:18.371-04:002012-09-21T06:27:18.371-04:00As usual very interesting.

On eyeglass issue there is a chain<br />here (dont know how widespread they are) but you can get a pair of glasses and an eye exam and 2 pairs for $69.00. It's where I always go..Of course if you cant extras like scratch resistance or sunglasses it is extra. My last pair lasted me 7 years. <br />That cafe does look odd<br />DonnaSam&Donna Weibelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01405315775347233295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-56252709603769715832012-09-21T05:23:52.137-04:002012-09-21T05:23:52.137-04:00I used to know a guy who was into collecting bottl...I used to know a guy who was into collecting bottles like that. Apparently there used to be a glass factory in the Kingston (Ontario) area somewhere. He'd go off on these glass digging excursions.<br />Everyone needs a hobby I suppose.<br />I sure wish my wife would cut my hair. It wouldn't be difficult, as there's not that much of it. She won't budge. Mind you, when the kids were young, I did the hair cutting, since she'd make a mess of it.<br />It's too bad about the cafe in the church thing. I suppose times are tough and it's not easy keeping up some of the old buildings. Most any old church we go into, they're forever putting the bite on you for some coin.
