Smiling white woman with dark hair streaked with blue. Wearing a grey-blue hand knit cardigan over a grey polka dotted dress. Roundish blue glasses frames.

Fell yesterday & broke my red frame glasses. My new blue glasses were ready today. A friend once advised me that interesting frames distract from wrinkles. My brothers kindly contributed to the expense.
