Barely

There was this one time when mom INSISTED that she get a buzz cut and be done with hair, period.  I tried to tell her that she wouldn't like it, but there was no telling her otherwise.  So, she got it cut off.  Then she told me she didn't like it.

"Well, mom", I said.  "It will grow back."

And it did.  Two months later it was just long enough to make her look like a hipster.  She let me color her hair red and it made her look quite young and stylish.

Guilelessly

 

My husband in his younger years.  Such a cutie!

The original print had a lot of damage, so I did a fair amount of retouching work on it.  Here is the original:

Eccentrically

This was the kitchen ceiling light cover in my childhood home before the kitchen was remodeled in the early 80s.

It's hand-painted with a quirky motif that is some kind of weird fruit bird.  Or at least that's what I've always thought it looks like.

It's traveled with me through several moves.  I was hoping to find a spot to put it in our current home, but I accidentally cracked it tonight.  I figure what better way to commemorate it than by photographing and blogging it.

Soapy

 I don't think Daisy liked her shower today.
