Hello,
On vacation, while we were riding in
the car to take our recycle to the proper place, we all heard a ping as
something hit the side of the car on the inside. Leroy said, “One of the lens
fell out of my glasses.” Luckily he had not been driving.
When we got to the place, I got out to
depositing the recycle. Sarah opened the door where Leroy was sitting. Nothing
fell on the tarmac. Leroy and Sarah looked carefully in the car for that lens. They
searched and searched without seeing it.
In a bit it became necessary to drive
on to that waterfall place which was across the road. Once again we all looked
very carefully and felt with hands in many places just in case it blended in
and we could not see it. Our three other friends came over to help as well. They
looked in many of the same places to no avail. Finally we even took out the
umbrellas that were in the seat back. Unopened they gave up nothing.
It is so frustrating, bizarre, and
amazing because it never fell out of the car so it has to be in there. However,
only so much time can be spent looking for the unfindable. In spite of knowing
that we already looked there when we were at the car we looked again from time
to time.
Leroy even stripped off all his
clothes, behind closed doors, of course, but it did not appear.
We drove into Galena and got a glasses
screwdriver so he could replace the screw on the glasses frame so it would not
bother him so much flopping around. He got an eye patch as he had before. This one
was too tight so he did not wear it long.
He called the glasses place. We went
there as soon as we got home. Leroy found his old lens which had just about a
month ago been removed from those frames. They put the old lens back in much to
his relief and ordered one new lens to replace the missing. They put a rush on
it. It will take a week, but he is not complaining because it is so much better
than one lens in the glasses. The woman there remarked, “The missing one will
turn up about a week after you get the new lens.”
