It's ridiculous that at some point we want to move south - can you imagine what it'll look like with even more humidity?

My favorite photo is the last one!

Exactly! Isn't is marvelous how that happens? Those life lessons showed us that after 50 we can love having a calmness about us, eh?

Thanks for stopping by! I'll see you over at your blog.

Best,
Cathy

I finally feel like I can let things go. Suddenly everything doesn't have to be perfect. Peaceful, even.

Here's my Wordless Wednesday: Satsumas. I hope you will stop by! And Happy New Year!

I haven't heard that response from anyone with straight hair. Hmm.

Hope you are happy now - there is beauty inside all of us.

Thanks for stopping by,
Cathy

Oh well. There was a few minutes in there that I was happy with it!

If we could trade for one day....

You gave me a chuckle about envying my nest. Thanks for the compliment!

Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog.

Cheers~

Still haven't embraced it...but I guess I've accepted it.

Please know that I've envied each and every look you've had. Yes, even the nest!

After spending hundreds of dollars at Bumble & Bumble, I came out looking like a boy, sideburns and all. It was horrible. Never again!

Glad your hair is as long as you want. I guess it's part of the point of the original Feminist Movement - to be free with our bodies, and now our hair!

Good to hear from you..

Just about everyone did! I always wanted to let my curly hair grow long in those days and not one hairstylist would let me do it. Today my hair is as long as it was when I was a ten year old and I'm loving it.

I guess sometimes we all want what we DON'T have. I do admit, I want to once, just once, toss my hair around displaying my long, shiny locks to the world. But that dream, like being a size 10 again, is gone like the wind. So I made peace with my hair.

In the end, I absolutely love your comment and I truly thank you for it.

Cheers~
Cathy
