Emily got her new glasses ordered.  She is suffering greatly from sticker shock!  She wanted to use her same frames again, but the bridge piece was broken.  When she asked if they could use her old frames and just replace the bridge, they said they could no longer get parts for those glasses.  She's used the frames about four times and even skipped getting her prescription filled a couple of times.  Anyway she's got them ordered and they should be in one day next week. 

Today, Plato came and spent some time with her.  It was good for her to see him and know that he escaped the ravages of the stray dog that was in the neighborhood the other day.  It's good that he's still around.  Patches kind of put him on the run; she didn't really want to share Emily and Gene with anyone, so he may hang around a little more now.  Although it might be hard to compete with his day job.  About 5 houses down, on the main road is an attorney's office - during the day, he goes down and plays lawyer in their office. They are especially taken with him and at one point wanted to adopt him.  At any rate, these days he's splitting his time between Emily's and his work with the attorney.

This evening Emily went to dinner with Lynn and Alan at I-Hop.  It was a nice evening.  She tried the chicken florentine crepes, and ended up taking home about half for a lunch tomorrow or the next day.  Lynn and Emily both remarked that had Gene been there, the next thing we knew, he'd be making his variation of chicken florentine crepes!
