Bait and Switch
A little "hair switch" history. . . A 1913 ad for a wavy hair switch, and a shampoo in the new reclining chair. As promised, I've done some more research, and I've found out a lot of interesting hair switch history. Since I have a Newspapers.com account, I was able to search the term "hair …
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
Taking "Big Girl" To the next level By now, if you're one of our regular readers, Panda and Foster have already "broken the news" to you about my having been diagnosed with breast cancer and going to chemotherapy once a week. At that time, I had promised to address the topic in a post directed …
Seven Years Ago Today
Have you ever been taking a nap and all of a sudden you get the idea to look back through your photos to see what you might have taken on that same day, one, two, or even seven years before? Well, me neither. But tonight Mom decided to look through our blog to see if …

The Guest Bathroom
Almost Done! The guest bathroom is looking better. In fact, I think it's safe to say it's almost done. If you've read "A Whimsical Door", you've seen this bathroom before. Other than the door, it's always been the ugliest bathroom I've ever had. . . with the possible exception of the one I had in …
Life With Foster, Revisited
Some things never change! So Mom was reading through some of her older blog posts and she came across my very first post, "Life with Foster", from way back in 2016. Since then, I've become a regular contributor to our blog, and Foster and I have had all kinds of adventures together. But some of …
So Many Topics. . .
So little time! Well, that's not completely true. Since I'm retired, and I only volunteer three days a week at the Christian school library, I actually have plenty of time to write blog posts. I have several drafts waiting in progress, and even more blog post ideas that are currently folders on my laptop with …
