Carol Perkins: Noticing changes Previous Column: I've Had IT By Carol Perkins Guy walked through the house and stopped at my chair. "When are you going to the beauty shop this week?" My reply, "I went today." He smiled and tried to climb out of the hole he dug. "Looks the same to me as before you went." I said, "I'll be sure and tell Benny (my hairdresser) next week!" Sometimes when I come home from the beauty shop, he'll say, "Had that hair cut, didn't you?" My answer. "Yes, two weeks ago." He isn't observant, but thinks he is. Often on Sunday mornings when I try to "fix up" a little more than usual, he will say, "I like that outfit. Is it new?" I answer, "No, I've worn it for at least two years." I had a friend whose father was so frugal that she used that line when he noticed something new. I wasn't using a line. Guy hadn't noticed. He may not notice what I'm wearing or how my hair looks, but if anything of his is out of place, he notices immediately. "Where's my pen I left on top of the desk?" I reply, "Good grief, get another one." He says, "But that's my favorite." I found it where I left it when I took it from his office. Evidently, I don't notice things as much as I once did. For instance, at Sunday school last week I thought there were two new chairs in the room. Not new, but new to the room. I asked one lady in the class and she said she thought they had always been there. I asked another. "No, they're not new but they've been moved around." I was sure they weren't in that room last week. I guess I never noticed. I am usually quick to spot slight changes in my surroundings, such as a newly painted room, different pillows on a couch, or fresh curtains, but I failed with the chairs. When my Texas grandchildren (all teens now) come to visit, I have them go from room to room to see if there are any changes. These changes don't happen as often as they once did because I don't care about changes like I once did. I'd rather go somewhere, make something, plan what to do next, or change my hair.
