The power of music
Ralph Yarl was only 16 when he was shot in the head last April after approaching the wrong house in Kansas City to pick up his siblings. Though he survived, his story has been a heartbreaking chapter in the ongoing scourge of gun violence in the US. Maybe that's why it's so exhilarating to see how far Yarl has come since the tragedy. The high school senior, who is known for his musicianship, was recently named second chair bass clarinet in the 2024 Missouri All-State Orchestra. Anyone in the music community knows that's a huge honor, and any music lover knows what it must mean and how much courage and talent it must take to keep creating art after such suffering.
Today I had another appointment with my eye doctor. I have been wearing a new prescription contact to see if they are okay for me, Today I ordered a years supply at $332. And I have a new prescription for glasses, mine are 11 years old and almost useless.

Jacki, what a good idea taking these shots of the palms and their reflections. And I love this blue sky. Here it is so dark all day and I'm glad the days become longer.
Good glasses and contacts are a blessing, aren't they?
Yes indeed, My Aunt Vonda was with me when I got my contacts and I was so thrilled. That was over 20 years ago! Take good care, Elenor.
I love the abstract feel of these individuals. :-)
Thank, John. That was my intent, but didn't know if it worked?
