First with Mom to Lenscrafters (because they have the widest selection of frames and they’re nearby) to get her some new glasses. That resulted in a forecasted wait of 10 – 14 days and several hundred dollars. Then off to a jewelry store to see if the clasp on her bracelet could be repaired, since …
