My requirements:
No helmet hair (The Sally Fields look from Steel Magnolias is not for me)
Not real short (Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt)
No old lady hairdo [...]

The music that I grew up listening to…

was mostly written by a man whose name you would not recognize but whose music you will. He wrote some of the most recognizable music the world has ever heard. Earle Hagen passed away on Monday, but he leaves behind a legacy that few can ever match. (I would place a picture up of Earle, [...]

Crazy week

Well, I have had an interesting week. You see, last Tuesday I went to see the doctor about an injured left calf. She gave me limited exercises again (I had originally injured it three weeks before) and I asked if I could get some exercise equipment to rehab it at home. So, [...]

Busier than a bee in spring…

I been busy… writing, cleaning, working and all around playing house.
I have started taking gem cutting lessons with the old man. It was interesting to see how this stuff works. I want to learn to cast jewelry and make it from scratch. The old man wants to learn how to cut his own stones. Between [...]
