Cockatiel Coif

I have short hair and find it so much cooler in this hot weather.  It’s a simple style, very wash and go.

The go part became a problem when I arrived at my destination one day and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror.  I bore a distinct resemblance to a cockatiel.  One of those birds with the big plume out the back of its head.  

I like to drive with the windows down and when I set out with my hair damp, the breeze from the window dries it at the same time it styles it into this big pouf.

I found myself wetting down my hair to get rid of the ‘plumage’ but that didn’t really work. I needed a better solution for as long as we have nice weather, I’m going to have my window down.

I bought a ball cap, in a nice basic black except for the red letters across the front that say Canada.  

It may not be my style but it serves the purpose. 

She’s Back

It’s been six months since I last posted.  I wish I could say I was away on a world wide cruise, sailing the oceans blue, but alas, not.

It’s funny how some small changes in your life affect so many other aspects of your day to day.

For example, I received an I pad for Christmas.  It was fun to play with, all the games, the easy access to Pinterest (I’m addicted) and Facebook.  It took me awhile to get the hang of it, and I was still using my laptop for writing, email and such. The other was more of a toy, until I started to have problems with the laptop and had to send it out to be checked.

When I got it back I put it on the shelf and have not used it since.  I was able to get most of my business done on the I pad so it seemed easier.  During this time my back became an issue and I was having difficulty sitting for very long, so all of my writing went by the wayside.

I had been doing a lot of crochet, some for family and some for charity but by spring had needed a break. I went back to painting, something I had not done much of in the last few years.  And, because I have the I pad, I could watch those art tutorials all evening long.

Funny that at my age I’m learning more about art and experimenting. I feel I should have my style down pat but it is in a constant state of evolving.

So, I’m back, hope you will forgive the neglect and stick with me.
