Beneath the Wraps

           Sometimes the chickens behind us will fly to various branches of the cherry tree.  They will roost there for a while.  Bonnie will often climb the hill to watch them in hopes at least one will fall into our yard.  I don ’ t know if they were in the tree of Friday night, but evidently the storm knocked at least one into our yard.        She ’ d been clucking all night.  I guess she was scared and wished to return to her own yard.  I would have not anything about it except for Jai and I left the house on Saturday via the back yard – and there was a white chicken near the door.  Thankfully, Bonnie was not behind us or the white chicken would now be a corpse in my yard.          Jaime and I had used the back door in order to dodge Bonnie.   I took Jai to the hair salon.   We also went to the store to get some clips for her hair.   I was co...

            I have a facebook friend whose daughter is a hairdresser.   She works at a rather prestige salon with two locations.   Employees are tested on current hairstyles and are to provide their own models.   Thus my friend will send out posts containing pictures of a particular hairstyle, date and time for those who would like to volunteer.   The services are free – financially anyway.   Very time consuming to one who has A LOT of hair and a hairdresser who is obviously NOT familiar with the huge amount           As I mentioned at the end of this post my hair experience at this particular salon was very time consuming.   She really did do a great job on my hair, and even fixed my face (though my allergies did kick in before my husband could see the full effect) I had compliments.   Roland said my hair looked longer – which it did. ...

          In 1995 Paramont brought back the Brady Bunch.  A movie spoofing the TV series that has never been nominated for any kind of award, but has been in sindication for the last forty years.  The Brady Bunch Movie: a guilty pleasure for those who had watched every episode time and time again.           If one had not seen any episodes of the TV series, it was perhaps the lamest show ever.  But for those who grew up watching the Brady Bunch and practically had every scene memorized, it was a dang funny movie.           I remember going over to the mall with mom.  We had purchased our tickets and were standing in line – the ONLY line – the line for the Brady Bunch movie.  I don’t recall a neon sign above our heads informing any passer-by what movie we were in line to see.  But I did notice several individual...

          I have been blessed with thick hair.   It hasn’t always been thick – in fact it started out quite fine.   But instead of ever getting long, it grew thick.   And though one might not guess just how thick it really is – my hairdresser knows.           I usually pull it back with pins, barrettes and/or scunchies – just to keep it off my neck.   Some days I will work hard on it, other days I will just brush it back.    Last week I felt like I had hippy hair – no matter what I did to it, my hair just seemed to get bigger.           If I somehow forget to put my hair up and I walk into a mall (which is NEVER intentional) I am a walking target for all hair demonstrators who coax me to have a seat while they demonstrate to me how fast and wonderful their flat iron or hair straightener or wave accessories ...
