perfect gift.

salut!

quite exciting news.

i've spent invested significant time

to my hunt to find the perfect sunglasses

my dad told me a story

about how when he and my mom

were on their honeymoon in italy

he found the perfect sunglasses:

the ray ban aviators, with the dark green glass

i've always been on a lookout for great sunglasses,

especially because my optometrist insists

that the outer part of my eyes is sensitive to the sun

so that sunglasses are a must during the summer

well summer came & i was still without

my perfect sunglasses

(spoiler alert: not for long...)

but i finally found them !!!

& this morning....

my mom bought them for me!!!!

i had called a few stores to ask if they carried the model i wanted
but to no avail,

i was met with

"they're really rare"

&

"you should get x instead, they're practically the same"

&

"they're rare & more expensive, so..."

but even with all of that pessimism i was hopeful,

thankfully!

they are the exact ones i wanted,

the wayfarer II

tortoise shell

now i can't stop showing them off,

my dad found his perfect pair in italy,

mine were made in italy,

& in a few weeks i will be in italy,

sigh!

all is right in the world :)

kisses,

something sweet for friday

hiya!

thought i'd pop in to share something very adorable
to (further) brighten up your friday

it's a project conceived in new york
called tweenbots

the idea is best explained by the website:

Tweenbots are human-dependent robots that navigate the city with the help of pedestrians they encounter. Rolling at a constant speed, in a straight line, Tweenbots have a destination displayed on a flag, and rely on people they meet to read this flag and to aim them in the right direction to reach their goal.

initally, the creator was not very optimistic,

the vastness of city space,
the dangers posed by traffic,
suspicion of terrorism,
were all reasons to suggest that no one would be interested
in helping a lost little robot,

but!

the project was a spectacular success,
not one tweenbot was lost or damaged!!!

instead,

people all over new york helped orient the little ones
in the right direction.

you can't help but fall in love with stories

like these

it's friday!

my kind of thinking

popped over to wue
during a study break

stumbled upon
such a great
anecdote

i'm almost positive
that the mom
in that scenario
is my own

love her.

lots of spring air kisses,
