Beauty Maintenance Night

Actually, it was Beauty Maintenance Day, since Jessica was only home for the weekend.  We have these regularly to do the things that hairy, dark haired women do; waxing, mani pedis, and of course, hair color. 
It is so much more fun to do it together than by yourself.  Especially when you goof. 

I won't explain exactly how it happened, but I ended up with Grandma Nola red hair for Saturday afternoon.  And I'm not talking subtle either.  Don't get me wrong, I love my Grandma Nola and her memory, but when Jessica tells me that the red hair makes me look like her, I picture an 84 year old!

Thankfully, by the end of the day I had mostly fixed it.  I was just glad that I could and that I didn't end up with something permanent. 

Jessica's turned out beautifully.

Chi-le'

I've been watching as some of the 33 trapped miners came up to safety and tonight I saw the man on the left come up; the last one.  He was the one who reportedly organized the other 32 into groups for food rationing and survival.  He used lights of the vehicles to simulate the daytime so they could still sleep.  He organized  eating, sleeping, exercise and other areas and instituted a 12 hour "work day". 

I always wonder if I were in a life threatening emergency such as this, would I be so brave? 

Most touching to me though, was the whole group of rescuers, the president of Chile' and the last survivor singing,

"Chi, Chi, Chi - Le', Le' Le'  Chile' Chile' Chile" and then the whole national anthem of Chile'.  Look at the gusto on the face of the president.

It's a wonderful day for Chile' and for the whole world.

Background

My cute little fall background has disappeared from the blog and I'm not sure why.  I have deleted it and re-installed it with no luck.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

Three Precious Gems

What could be better than these three precious gems? 

Four precious gems, that's what. 

A baby brother or sister is joining them around the first of April. 

Woohoo!!!!
