This is my brother and I at our mother's 80th birthday party.


Got a call from my brother this morning saying goodbye to my hair. Cute, huh.  I bet there aren't very many brother's in the world that would say that to their sister, that's what makes him so special. He is one of my very best friends.  I'm a lucky girl.
A good friend came by today with two hats she had made for me, which I really appreciate, since I need to keep something on my head, to help keep me warm. They are very comfortable.  Well, today was the big day, to finish what I started, with my hair.  Dawny came by this afternoon and with her nice big clippers, took it all off, right down to my little pink head.  She said I had a very nice looking round head.  I was very excited to hear that, really, except no one will ever know how pretty and round it is, except, a very few family members and Dawni.  I probably had more hair, than this, when I was born.
I came up with alot of advantages in not having hair, save on shampoo and conditioner, save on electricity (no curling iron or hair dryer), big money saver, no beauty shop (cutting, coloring, perms etc.), no bad hair days (let the wind blow), and the best part, I can get ready in the morning as fast as Bill, well not quite.  So lady's you might think about this, we could all make a new trend right here in the Tri-Cities.  Just think what the headlines in the papers would read, NO BAD HAIR DAYS IN THE WINDY TRI-CITIES. This would really get people's attention.  We would be on the map, for sure. 
I still feel great, no pain or sickness.



What children say:

One day, a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink.  She suddenly noticed that her mother had a few strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.  She looked at her mother and asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?"
Her mother replied, "Well, every time you do something wrong, and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."
The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance,
grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
