CATARACT REMOVED/ BEARD PHOTO

I had the cataract removed on my left eye Monday morning. I had my daughter, Nancy and her daughter, Victoria all there to make sure I lived. The surgery went well and quickly. I had to go back to their new offices for a post-op look and instructions. By then we were all starving and went to IHOP for a brunch about 11.

I have been growing a beard for over three months after hearing that they wanted to celebrate Cross Plains Centennial next year with beards on the men. I have never, ever had a beard so thought this would be a good time to see whether I could grow one. I have had lots of comments, like "I hate beards" or "you look 90 years old" from my daughter. Nancy took this photo so you can decide.
