Since my blog chronicles my daily life and I am gay (hence the stereotype 'sissy'), I decided to call my blog 'Tales of the Sissy'.Mark in DEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12478832787656152843noreply@blogger.comBlogger3486125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9822653.post-74401157254252922572019-09-10T19:00:00.000-04:002019-10-14T16:41:53.386-04:00Just because<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This pair is a classic aviator with standard grey lenses. I'm not certain but I believe these were purchased at a convenience store when I went inside to use the free ATM!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This pair came from a rather unlikely source: a local hardware store! Spouse & I were getting some keys copied and near the register we saw a sunglasses rack. Believe it or not, these are heavy plastic and should last a good while, but were only $3.99. What a bargain! I love the clear frames.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Spouse's sister, brother-in-law, their 2 sons, their daughter, son-in-law, and their 3 children all came for a couple days at the beach. (In case you're doing the math, that was 6 adults and 3 children under the age of 5.)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In addition to lots of beach time, they also went to the boardwalk for games and unhealthy but tasty food. The joke around the house was that they couldn't go more than 45 minutes without a meal or substantial snack, so there were a couple trips to the grocery store, delivery food, and restaurant visits. While I was at work during most of that, I think I gained weight just hearing about all the food they ordered/bought/made/consumed.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Unfortunately I didn't take many photos at all (I was not with them at the beach) but I did get these 2 cute ones.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Not

my sunglasses were under $10. The most expensive pair was $20. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I
buy them anywhere and everywhere. From a beach vendor in Puerto
Vallarta, at the Walmart in Palm Springs, from online vendors, and
occasionally even from the Dollar Tree.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I
don't need my sunglasses to be "high quality" or to last forever,

me if they aren't heirloom quality. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Although you can't see it in this photo, in the upper corner there's a "Dior" insignia. But they caught my eye due to their interesting shape. I bought them from a beach vendor in Puerto Vallarta this past January and they're the most expensive sunglasses I've purchased at $20. I got many compliments on them when I wore them around PV and at home.</span><br />
