Summer Beginnings
What a crazy, busy weekend and the week ahead doesn’t have many signs of slowing down. Saturday was a mad rush of events and shuttling from here to there. My daughter and I got up early to hit a church tag sale that proved to be a bust. Her Girl Scout troop was to meet at 8:30am for a trip to the city to take some computer courses. We were there in plenty of time, … Continue reading

Long, short, straight, curly, dyed, natural, I’ve probably done it all. So for this weeks Flashback Friday, I thought I’d share the looks I have sported through the years. You have already seen me in pigtails circa 1970. By 1972 I had gone to … Continue reading
