Short and Sweet!

That's what my hair cut is and tonight's journal entry as well!

Since it was after 3:00 this morning when we got home and close to 4:30 when I finally went to sleep, it was nearly noon when I woke up! Today was Rest and Recovery mode.

We had coffee and our Bible reading plus our books and took our leisurely time about it.

I toasted some blueberry muffins and served them with cream cheese and a bowl of applesauce and that passed for breakfast and/or lunch.

Then I drove myself up to see my all time favorite hair stylist, Yulisa, in a hot car with all the windows down and no AC!

"I need a haircut that looks good wet!" I told her.

She worked her magic as she always does!

I noticed that I am now nearly totally gray....or white.

Only a little bit of natural color remains at the back.

What is it about a fresh haircut that makes you feel so much better about everything??

I look a little tired because I am.

However, I felt better as the day wore on.

From Yulisa, I went next door to Lovely Nails and had a wonderful relaxing pedicure.

Then I got in the car and - wonders of wonders!!! - the AC started working!

I spent the rest of the day watching Fixer Upper episodes back to back and cleaning the den, doing laundry and watering. We made a good decision to come home last night.

Waco hit an all time record high today at 5:00 - 114 degrees!

There's been some cloud cover today but we couldn't get out of the house to water until about 8:30 this evening.

I have turned my attention to other things......as in sewing a denim crib quilt for a new baby girl with the delightful name of Charleigh! She is the daughter of my cousin and now former neighbor, Joe.

They have moved to Waco - great place - so I will take it down to them this fall. But I need to get to work on it big time. I have sewn several strips of denim squares and have several more to go.

Plus I printed out and organized the travel information for our upcoming Alaskan cruise.

We set sail in just 47 short days from now.

Thanks to my niece, Leah, who happens to be going on an Alaskan Cruise with her husband at the very same time we are - just different ships - I have a whole notebook and luggage tag holders, all sorts of good things and a magnet for our stateroom door.

I still have a few arrangements to make - as in transportation from the hotel to the pier and then from the pier to a rental car company since we are driving the scenic route back home!

We need to do a ball park kind of plan as to our route home by way of Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Colorado! We have friends to visit and places to see and we are getting so excited!!

It's only 10:15 but I'm calling this day done!

Other housework will still be there when I wake up in the morning!!

I'm turning my sound machine to the Ocean Waves setting.......
