Whatcha think of the new pix? Whitney, Ryan and I got a good laugh one day (yes at my expense) about the new 'do' that I am sporting. When I heard Ryan say that I looked like Friar Tuck, I roared with laughter....punk...I thought I looked quite cute not like a friar :)
Today has been a wonderful day. Tom and Carol came by early this morning and we all had a good time cleaning the yard a little. After Tom chopped up the branch that had come crashing down during the last snow fall we sat down and had a 'drink' to our successful morning labor. Good fellowship so early in the morning promised to escort in an equally wonderful rest of the day.
I had a great lunch with Mark and then our little nap ( a ritual now) and then it was outside to the yard with Julianna and Logan. Whitney joined us of course :)
OK, back to the Friar Tuck... I have chosen not to shave my head because I sort of like the feeling that I can still blow dry my hair after I shower. I very carefully blow my hair because any sort of tugging or strong wind :) will send little bits of hair flying right off of my scalp. I take little bits of hair and sort of spread them around like I am re-seeding my scalp....then, I put my cap on and look in the mirror and think ' in your face cancer'. Crazy I know, but in my world , I will shave my head when I am good and ready and maybe never!!!
Wonder if I will lose my eyebrows since my scalp is sort of hanging on to little shreds of the past? My bangs look really black but it is the remnants of the last dye job that I had. Weird.
Lord help me to remember wonderful days like today when I am not feeling quite so healthy.

You know Julie, I have always been jealous of you because you are so darned photogenic! You have beautiful hair, but even without your hair, you still look good. You have such good bone structure and have always photographed so well. They say models photograph well because they have big heads and great bone structure, so there you are! I always look Chinese in my pictures. So now you know the truth, jealousy and envy, both sins. But, I will repent by praying fervently and maybe self-flagellation (a great old Catholic form of repetence centuries old.) Seriously though, you are still beautiful with or without hair, and by sharing your photos and thoughts, you have shown us what a wonderous soul you have. Still loving and praying for you - Is.
Isabell - HA! You are such a funny cousin! So what you are really saying is that I have a big head! I guess I always knew that though...It WOULD make me feel a little better if you self-flagellated though! I was not raised Catholic as you know but for some reason that does not sound like much fun :) Love you too and I am praying for your recovery as well. We will live to be old geezer cousins and laugh at our shenanigans as 'wee' ones!
Haha! You're both funny! I'm reading flagellation knowing what it is and thinking of farting. Not that I am thinking of farting but I'm thinking of Mama farting getting the giggles and looking insane with her 3 hairs in a bed head style and beating herself with a board around her neck like the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Thanks for the laughs you crazy cousins! xoxox
