Success at the salon

So my hair is probably now shorter than my father’s, and certainly only barely longer than Chris’, but I love it. Finally an experienced stylist who listened to what I said and translated it to a wonderful cut.

Change of plans

So we didn’t get to the beach on Wednesday. We had planned to go to a nude one out in RI only to do a little research right before leaving and finding out that it’s been closed for years. Upon revisiting the idea of the beach we decided not to...

Aah, vacation

I haven’t posted much lately.  We’ve been on vacation since Chris’ birthday.  We had his party on Friday night.  Of course it rained (as usual).  Saturday morning we went over to Sarah’s for belated Father’s Day breakfast with Dad and Becca.  The remainder of the day was spent working in...

It’s almost my honey’s birthday

Day 5

Holy smokes did the friends and family come out of the woodwork for this stage of the project.  Yoda got up early on a Saturday.  Alex and Danielle too.  Mom came over after her trip to the salon.  Bob came.  Rie and Dave from NY.  Sarah and Ger too.  We...
