Impulse action:)

So, not long after Christmas was over, I walked by a hair salon, saw a stylist just sitting around.

"Would you be able to cut my hair?"

An hour later I had a short, sassy bob - no more should er length hair. Thought I'd miss being able to do things with the long hair but so far, I'm loving short.

Happy New Year

Merry Christmas Family and Friends

Please Note, Dear Friends

The other blog, "A Mountain Too High" will go private after Christmas - please be sure to let me know if you wish to be allowed access. Thanks.

"Welcome to our World" will remain public.

In Honor and Remembrance

We toured the memorial while in Hawaii years ago. It was very touching and moving for me to know service men were still below.

Trees Ease

So yesterday I bought a pre-lit tree from my sister - she is very particular about her trees and this wasn't s slim line so it had to go!

Talk about easy!!! All my life I have dreaded putting lights on the trees as felt it was very difficult and result was so-so.

Last night took about 2 minutes and voila! (PS The tree is 7.5')

Today I carried the apple boxes up from storage and will decorate it.

A Christmas Challenge

So I have been wondering how I could help someone this Christmas and - - - my idea!

On a recent flight, the handle of my large suitcase wouldn't collapse. Alaska immediately tagged my bag as being received damaged and away I flew. Luckily, it didn't break off in the luggage compartment.

To make a long story short, I'm going to fill the case with long johns, warm socks, mitts, toiletries and all kinds of nonperishable food items. Then I'll troll the streets til I see someone struggling with shopping bags and give them my case.

What a windfall that will be - it's large and has all kinds of exterior pockets.

I challenge you to check around your home for a large bag of any kind, fill it and find some person who needs a hand.
