BEAUTIFUL! always!catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14654447857395214073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11826923.post-54449832403610114202007-08-18T09:40:00.000-05:002007-08-18T09:40:00.000-05:00Thanks, Steve.

Due to my dad's macular degeneration, I started a preventative regimen with eye vitamins over a year ago. The optometrist said she definitely recommends their use.<BR/><BR/>Now as for the hair... ;-) Yes, keep wearing those hats.<BR/><BR/>And thanks for following my blog!

I feel with you, I also am so much of an eye animal, everything I do is connected to seeing, to colours, to contrasts and forms. I'll take extra care, too (part of which is forced on me already... somewhat less hair than I used to have means I do get sunstrokes if I don't wear hats ;-) ). <BR/>Thanks, hugs, all the very best - <BR/><BR/> Steve K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
