Thanks for looking in on me, Joe. I especially like this one. It goes along with my latest post. With eyes closed is most often a good guide. Love, daver

Testing...testing...I should be able to leave a comment, Joe? Many different sorts of 'Spectacles', but I think Elton John has the most fun with these.:) He was knighted, Joe? For his music and not his eye gear, I'm sure. Keep well, Love, Mikki

I try to close my eyes too; so much that's hard to look at, I get renewed away from crowds of people. Nice one Joe, a profound meaning in this! Love, Lizzie
