Bad news at the eye doctor yesterday... Peter's eyes are only one step from being so bad that his driver's license will be taken away. His eyes can be corrected only to 20/40. 20/50 is when he can no longer drive. At 20/60, there is a surgical option, but our doctor warned that it is not always successful. Since he has 4 motorcycles and 2 classic cars, this is devastating news.

My eyes are much better, 20/25, although I needed a slight change in my prescription. When I asked about long driving trips, the doctor said it would be "much better" if I drove. I can't imagine Peter allowing that to happen, as I always offer, and he always refuses.

This will make a big change in our travelling plans. We hoped to do another couple of driving trips to Nova Scotia, probably one to Newfoundland, and at least one to Alberta/British Columbia and down through Washington, Oregon and California, returning through the "middle" states.

A warning to everyone... don't put off what you want to do... you may find it's too late.

Of course we can still fly to N.S., rent a car and drive around; ditto for B.C., or take the train (horrendously expensive!), but we both really love driving trips and being able to explore little roads that tours never take you on.

Discouraged today, but of course Peter doesn't want to talk about it.

Hugs. Let him have time to absorb the emotion. Women talk it out, but guys tend to need to do something. Obviously this is a huge part of his identity (which is why it is hard on you because you see that and want to deal with it head on). This didn’t happen over night, so you have some time to address it. But go ahead and jump into the driver’s seat first. It is the wise thing for both of you. Dang bodies!

So sorry to hear this news, Gail. And I appreciate the reminder to do what we enjoy and not delay. This pandemic also upended lots of plans and vacations. And we all are getting older -- we try to stay as healthy as possible, but some things are beyond our control. I hope Peter will let you drive.

Oh, I am sorry to hear this, Gail. I have driven my dear man more in the last three months than ever. He is getting used to it. 😏
