How nice to relax through the morning. At about noon I headed up to Santa Fe. First stop was at Trader Joe’s and, boy, did I stock up. I should have enough Tart Montmorency Cherries and almonds to last the whole trip. They are staples in my oatmeal… along with pieces of apple.
OH, NO! While arranging groceries I grabbed my glasses the wrong way and they BROKE in half at the bridge. I do have a backup pair but they are fragile, rimless glasses that will never last the trip.
I had arranged to visit with Germaine before meeting Sharon. Germaine is a Solo Trekker and was at Amado. We had communicated earlier and she had graciously offered her driveway for my night in Santa Fe. When I got there the smell of homemade bread wafted out the door. We had a great visit with warm bread and real butter before I headed for Sharon’s house around 4:00.
Sharon and I met in about 1960 while we were both at San Francisco State. Today she was busy making Cambodian Lemon Grass Curry for the Interfaith Shelter that their church helps support. Another great smell as I arrived at their home. Mike took the curry and went to help at the shelter and we went to Jambo.
Glasses! After dinner we went to Lens crafters to see if they could fix my glasses. Sorry… they are titanium and so we can’t fix them but perhaps the Solder Man can… so I called him. Well, he didn’t have the right materiel to fix them but perhaps The Goldworks on the Plaza would be able to help you….but they are closed by now.
I will call tomorrow.

While I stopped for gas riding out of Colorado last year, my flexible titanium glasses suddenly broke at the bridge. The break was surprising because the frame flexed very little flexed very little before breaking, and I never bent them around like rubber as I've seen optometrists do. Fortunately I had spares made of solid non-flex titanium. At home, my optometrist thought it must have been a material defect. They were under warranty, so I got a new pair
