This has laid in my draft area for two years and almost five month .  I think it is time to set it free.   It’s origin I don’t remember but it’s contents grow truer every year.

If my body was a car, I would be thinking of trading it in for a newer model. I’ve got bumps, dents, scratches and my paint job is getting dull. My headlights are out of focus. My traction is not as graceful as it once was. My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins. It takes me hours to reach maximum speed. But the worst is…every time I sneeze, cough, or sputter either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires!

To confirm this fact here are two pictures of before and after a haircut this week.

On Wednesday

On Friday.

I look like the Pillsbury dough boy  with everything sliding down off the spoon.  But I feel good, am upright, and as Pammie says –on top the grass not under it!!!!  As for the haircut it acts just the opposite from Samson on my attitude.

Speaking of haircuts Jay had his done too.

He cleans up good –huh.

Then on Friday daughter Cindy came up and worked on our toes.

A pro with the clippers and the file!

Bless her heart she comes up to help us when she should be resting up to go back to work the next day. So I guess we could have called this post from Head To Toes.

Outside it is between 10 and 15 degrees with snow back on the ground.  Every morning is a surprise to stare out the window at!!!!

Have a great weekend.

About Momma

I was 78-years-old on February 22 and I'm amazed to see it. Mother of two sons and one daughter (Bloggers SEB and Cindyisms are two of them). Grandmother of three. Retired after 29 years+ at Michigan Bell Telephone and ten+ years with The Oakland Press. I was active with the telephone company union and a Dale Carnegie graduate. I work at crocheting, knitting, making ornaments, and other projects. With my husband I can 300 or 400 half pints of jam, chutney, plus cabbage relish, pickled beets and cinnamon fruit every summer to give away. I was clown doing parades, parties, and picnics for about 15 years. My other passions are music from the 50s through the 70s, reading, and of course blogging!
