This is my wife's idea. She being a Mom of first order , just wanted to see, hug and spend a day with her child. I understand this, I go along with it. If my wife has not seen her children in awhile she needs to reassure herself by face to face that everything is good. Our daughter was last home for Christmas, so it has been two full months. So time to check and make sure , pinch the cheek sot to speak. Mom's are like that.
So we went, it was sunny, clear and beautiful in the nations capital , a late winter marvel that they have pansies in the flower beds.
Walked about a little, saw one very famous senator and her husband walking on the street near the Capital Building. Our nations capital is a wonderful place to see and to explore. Try the echo feature at the Canadian Embassy, this big kid got a kick out of it. I love how we bus thousands of children into the city every year and try and give them a feel for the importance of the ideals that this city is supposed to embody. The nobility of freedom, the human sacrifice that some have made. The rights, the law, the civility. I think that it is one of those places where children should be taken and should be shown. Standing inside the Lincoln Memorial and looking back to the Capital gives one a sense that we are a Nation of ideals. Reading the words inside the Jefferson Memorial teaches those ideals. Roosevelt, Martin Luther King, are great men but they are no greater than those whose names appear on the Vietnam War Memorial. Take you children and let them see it for themselves.
After a simply delightful day , we dropped off things for our child in the form of a couple of boxes of essentials and made our way home in early evening.
We drove home in the dark and I noticed that my left eye was not reacting normally, in that my vision seemed blurred. Now two days later it is still blurred. So I will get it checked, but not before worrying about what could possibly be causing this issue. Is it time for new glasses or is it just my seeing my eyelashes again. For the longest time I would see my eyelashes and they would interefere with my sight,. I have had floaters and the like and each time I have been checked and reassured.
Vision is such a precious and important gift, I hope this blurriness is nothing to worry about, in much the same way that I hope the vision of the nation clarifies in Washington. Something temporary and not too serious.
