Yes, I am participating in #blogjune

Whatever that means! Traveler Nell has suggested I join her in the annual June Blog Challenge. At least I think it’s annual.

Nevertheless, I thought I’d start the month with some photos of some things I received to end May.

Yesterday at work I was greeted by a pair of packages.  One was a birthday present from my in-laws in Australia.  Inside was a pair of lambs wool slippers.  Cool in the summer and warm in the winter these babies are incredibly comfortable 365 days a year.

Additionally I received a package from Coastal.com.  Inside was a pair of glasses I ordered last week.  Now less than two months ago I bought two pairs of glasses from Warby Parker.  I’ll save that story for another day.  The only reason I got another pair is because while I was playing Turbo Racing League on my iPhone and I received an offer for a free a pair of glasses.  I was skeptical but wanted extra “tomatoes”, the currency of the game, so I clicked on the offer.

Turns out it wasn’t a scam.  In fact I found the frame I had been looking for since 1993.  It was back then that my buddies and I saw Falling Down with Michael Douglas.  In this film he was wearing these glasses.

So when I saw the measurements on the these glasses I knew my search was over.

All told, I was only charged $9.95 for the shipping. (Plus a little extra for the clip on shades.)

It’s only been one day, but I am confident I have found my favorite glasses ever.
