Thanksgiving Traditions

One of our favorite traditions is driving to Tehachapi to spend a few wonderful days with our Aunt Jackie. This year, this tradition may include actual Thanksgiving Day! We're looking forward to being with her, visiting the boutique, playing in the snow, seeing wildlife, and visiting the Alpacas and Llamas. The countdown begins . . .

Going Grey

God has proven He knows what He's doing in every area of my life, so why not see what happens when I grow out the grey hair I've been coloring? I've been contemplating this for a few years, and now I think I'm ready to see the color God chose for me. I may end up looking my age, but that IS my age - duh. Get ready. My hair will look bad for at least a year . . . or not? 


I decided to ask a hair specialist to match my natural color coming in. I grew it out almost two inches, so he'd have a good idea of my natural color. He may have gone over-board, but I didn't want to go through the "grow-out" stage. Here's to hoping this was a good idea! 


I spent four hours in the salon anticipating the results. The guy wanted me to go blonde, but I really want to be my natural color, so off we went. Before we ever got started, I told him I didn't want him to blow-dry my hair. When he was finished color-matching, he pulled out his blow dryer. I reminded him I didn't want my hair blow-dried. To this he responded, "I do." 


Here I am after four long hours in the hands of a CrAzY mAn. Could my hair be more fried?
