Debbi -
Love the onion goggles but why are they called onion goggles?   I have to agree that you look quite stunning and your smile does look great!  You are getting more movement from the looks of it -- more good news!!!  I hope willie loves the goggles too!

They are called Onion Goggles because they were developed to keep onion fumes away from the eyes so that cooks will not cry while they are peeling and chopping onions. Fortunately for us, what keeps the onion fumes out keeps moisture in, so they are now a (relatively) low-cost moisture chamber option.

I had no idea what onion goggles were either, so I had to google it to find out.  Now I feel so well informed.  The next time someone mentions to me their frustration with crying over onion chopping, I will know where to send them.   :D

I think you ladies look very trendy.  I'll bet we'll see all the runway models sporting onion goggles next season.
