EVERYONE MUST WEAR A MASK, the sign on the window of the doctor's office stated. "Oh, no, Howard," I said, "We forgot our masks!" We explained to the receptionist at the window, and she silently handed us two masks.
They were a little tricky to put on, and a little lopsided as we were called in for his appointment. I couldn't wait to take them off in the car. Granddaughter Bethany was our driver, and our next decision was where to get lunch.
"How about Cracker Barrel?" I suggested, for which all agreed, since it was way past lunch time. I had received a Cracker Barrel gift card from son Mark, and this would be a good time to use it. While we were browsing around, waiting for our name to be called, my eyes fell on the perfect purchase!
A mask!
Not the ordinary face mask, but a beautiful sleep mask! I had to have it! It was pink, edged in satin ruffles with a stretchy satin band to insure a comfy snooze. I loved the embroidered phrase,"Let's Sleep In" stitched on the front.
No more putting the pillow over my eyes when the bedroom window heralded morning so bright and early! My usual solution to daylight's arrival was to put my pillow at the foot of the bed where I could manage a few more winks.
I happily ate my lunch, knowing my mask, sleeping variety, was safe in my purse. When the waitress brought the check, I was amazed that a delicious, satisfying meal for the three of us was only 80 cents above the amount on Mark's card! Something to dream on!
