So I read The Hiding Place this week. Mike also read it. It is so good
everybody should read it!
It just makes you want to be a better person. The woman, that this book is about, and her family were amazing people. I encourage anybody who reads this, to read this book.
This is also the "book group" book we are reading. So it has motivated me to finally start scrapbooking again. There are a few girls that read my blog that make the most gorgeous pages. But I am so far behind I just can't figure it out. So anyway I'm jumping back into it with my Holland trip things. I think it will be fun.
I got my hair done this week. A cut and color, I needed to add a little pizazz to it, it was so dull. Plus the girl told me I am 25% grey! With no grey hair in the back, most of it is around my face under my bangs, then some of it is on the top of my head. Yikes! I now have to start thinking in terms of covering my grey! I like the color I got, so I tried to take a picture. I'm not sure that you can really see my high lights but you can see my sagging jowls, double chin, rolls on my neck, and my scar. So there you have it. Actually I got one shot of me from such an angle that it didn't look like I had any of that I looked pretty good. But I didn't post that picture because it was NOT realistic:-)
Finally this is a sign mike let me get to hang in my laundry room. I absolutely love what it says! It fits me to a T. But the ironing reminded me of my mother-in-law. She just loved to iron. We lived with them for a while. And every night that we went into the family room to watch TV, she went to her ironing board and ironed through all of the shows. She even ironed Mikes jeans and T-shirts. He hasn't had that kind of service since! I think it relaxed her, and she enjoyed it. But that was another time, I've even heard tell that women ironed their sheets. What a nightmare!

She did that. The sheets. She actually did that. For a while, when I was a kid, she paid me per piece. T-shirts and sheets. It was nuts. But i think it was a relief to her - she could NOT sit down and do nothing. So she had every excuse in the world to watch TV - IF she was ironing while she did it. I do the same thing in my own way - I run on the treadmill while I watch.
And your hair looks wonderful, and I didn't notice those things at all. in fact, I was just thinking about how great you look. And I do love the sign. And i don't scrapbook - but you should do it with your Holland things, because otherwise they'll languish in a box somewhere.
You hair looks great, I love it! And I should read the Hiding Place again, it's been too long. I can't remember much about it.
And I love the sign--I could use one to hang over my washer and dryer! Except it should say NO IRONING because I never do it!!
Ok, I needed to edit my comment because of a grammatical error, and I erased it. So here we go again! I've got to figure out how to edit!
I love your hair...that's the ONLY thing I noticed. It looks fabulous! I also love your makeup, you look great!
I love all of your book suggestions! It's been a long time since I've read The Hiding Place, but from what I remember it was a good book.
I admit, before we had kids, I ironed my jeans too! Not anymore. Such a waste of time especially when I have barf or who knows what smeared down the front of me everyday from the kids! LOL!
