Hair....

Ok. So, I have some hair. I am happy to have hair. It's a nice perk from my dad, I think! Anyway, some of my children have hair, too. Ryken's got LOTS of hair. He sometimes is happy about it, but not always. This leads to some funny mornings....And then there's the girl's hair.... We have long hair (here's a back shot for my mom--it's to my lower back, Ma!)...

So, when I'm guarding at the lake, I braid it up into corn rows (like above). This keeps the nasty stuff from getting stuck in it, and helps me keep cooler, too, when standing in the sun for hours on end. So, it's fun to do. And, I can wash it, which is great (braids hold water for a LONG time)!

And, when I take it out, this is what it looks like....(after a good washing and brushing!)

I'm really thankful for my hair. It could be falling out, or going gray.....like Spike's. He's not lookin' so happy now that he's going gray!

But, he DOES look regal, wouldn't you say?
