CURRENT EVENTS: TOLLAND (2)
It's been a week since I had cataract surgery. Saw a doctor today and he said everything looks good. Next week, I get the other eye done. With one eye repaired, I realize how much I have been missing.
Mary has been driving us back and forth to the appointments, so thanks to her.
The operation was a piece of cake. It took 15 minutes. Moe had and has the tough part: administering eye drops--12 a day all week, but dropping to 6 before the next operation.
Reinstalled my bottle fence for the second time. Took it down for Hurricane Sandy and two weeks later for a big Nor'easter.
Got most things put away for winter. thank goodness for the shed that Mike built. Will begin installing plastic storm windows inside the house. Our regular, new storm windows don't keep all the cold out.
We still play pool twice a week at the Senior Center.
Let's hear your CURRENT EVENTS!

CURRENT EVENTS IN (TOLLAND):
Remember the old Newsletter? Trying to emulate its purpose, Fill in your location in place of Tolland, and lay some news on us.
Hurricane Sandy knocked out 92 percent of power here, includ9ng ours. It was a long cold night with no power, so we were making plans to go someplace when Mary called and sais her power had come on. We think UCONN gets priority over other places as well it might. We spent the day at Mary's and planned to spend the night there, too. About 3 PM we drove up to Papa T's which never lost power for an early supper, then headed for home to pick up some things. Near Birch Grove School we saw some CL&P trucks and questioned the men.They said our power would be on in minutes, and it was on by the time we got home.
Old Bob undergoes cataract surgery on his left eye on Tuesday with the right one scheduled for the 20th. I told our neighbor, Phil, that I didn't want t o be old and blind. Phil added, "and deaf."
We play pool twice a week at the Senior center. Moe plays dominoes there another day.
Mary has been helping me pick up the leaves . It is almost all done.
We have been playing Trivial Pursuit with Peggy who usually .wins. I can't remember what I had for breakfast.

WHERE DID MY BOTTLES GO/
In the shed, that's where they went. With Hurricane Sandy threatening us, I was able to disassemble the bottle fence very quickly thanks to my clever engineering plan. Each bay, or unit ,of the fence could be unhitched from supporting uprights without dealing with each individual bottle amd each unit was in the shed in minutes. The back yard looked barren without the fence.
