Freedom Is Never Free ~

Life is short too have boring hair.
Happiness is a fresh new haircut...

What better way to "change" than to cut your hair? 

 Works all the time for me.  Was feeling bored so I told the

 girl to "let's go short"  I wanted shorter, but she said I may

 not want to go that short.  She cut off 5 inches.  I'm happy.

For now I am really liking the short hair.  Arvid said,  "you got

 your curls back"  He does not like straight hair, and for some

 reason my hair has gotten quite straight compared to what it was

 before.  I think it has to do with all the medications I take.

Growing up with curly hair was not exactly what I wanted.
  At least that is what I thought.  All my sisters had straight hair.
 Today many have beautiful big curls.  Age I guess and way of life.

As I got older I realized that so many people wished
their hair was curly.  That did not mean I still wanted curly
 hair, but with time and age I came to accept it and from then
 on I loved it and could not imagine life with straight blah hair.

 That is until I started taking medication.  After the
thyroid cancer and all the medicines I started taking my hair
started to get straight.  Arvid was not happy.  At first I liked it,
 but when I realized that it was not getting curly anymore I
was not so happy.  So to bring back the curls I have been
 cutting it shorter and shorter.  May or may not work.

Our last Sunday in Fort Lauderdale for the next 4 months.
 Come next Saturday we will be in Chicago.  Right now I look
 forward to going.  Have ordered Sniff a ton of stuff.

 For all of you who have a pet.  Check out Chewy.
 The best place to get everything your pet/baby needs. 
I never go to the pet store anymore.  It's fast,
 reliable and I always get free delivery.

Memorial Weekend continues.  As we celebrate with families,
let us not forget the men and women who gave their lives for us.

America is hope. It is compassion. It is excellence. It is valor.
Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy 
forget in time that men have died to win them...

Saturday ~

Missing someone is not about how long it has been 

since you have seen them or the amount of time since you

 talked.  It is about that very moment when you're doing

 something and wishing they were there with you...

Nothing better than starting my day with my kitties 

and my cafe.  Brutus and Shadow are no longer 

with us, but in my heart they live on forever.  

Sniff is here and he makes us happy.  I miss 

Brutus so much, but it is what it is.  Life.

It's been a busy week on the waterways.  Boats passing 

by all day long.  Makes for interesting times on the 

balcony.  Arvid sure finds relaxation when there.

February and March were busy months. They always are.

 Suddenly April is less hectic.  Gives us time to do a

 few fun things again.  I enjoy small day trips or a

 weekend getaway rather than be gone for weeks. 

Always fun and relaxing.  Plus this way we don't have

 to leave Sniff for too long.  I hate the thought of having to

 leave him for so long in the summer.  I really don't want to.

Wishing everyone a happy Saturday.  May your 

weekend be filled with wonder and all things amazing.

  Remember, it does not matter where you are or what you do.  

What matters is to live life like someone left the door open.  

Whatever it is you do.  Enjoy it.  Have fun and make memories.

No matter where we go, the sunsets are always beautiful.

You don't stop having fun when you get old.

  You get old when you stop having fun...
