I need a hearing aid, I really really do NEED a hearing aid, and I know this. So resolutely I went to a nearby hearing center to learn about them. After a few minutes I dared to ask how much? $7000 was the unblinking answer. I looked at the woman and wanted to say, do I look crazy enough to spend that on a hearing aid? $7000 would on a good day, buy an izannah Walker doll! ( $7000 will not buy a very good one.) On the other hand the lady facing me would have thought me crazy indeed to spend that on a worn out rag doll!
Thank all of you for your comments on this!! (added March 5th) Edyth
Welcome to My Red Cape. Long ago in another time my husband Jack and I lived in a little old red house. It was the stuff of dreams to us for the few years that we were there. I live there still a number of hours every day in imagination, with old dolls and paintings and fabrics and feather trees. I draw inspiration and happiness from the memories of that space in time and share some of it here with friends who remember how to step with Alice through the looking glass and take delight in whimsies and antiquities.
