Change Is In the Air

"You know you're finally mature when you don't need a new hairstyle every six months."

So said a cartoon I read years ago. "Oh, well," I thought to myself, "guess I haven't quite gotten there yet." Photos from my earlier years will reveal that sad, but happy truth - with every new child one will see the same mom with a different "do".

Now I don't get a new hairstyle every six months. But I sure would like to. What can I say? I'm just one of those people who like change - something new - gotta mix things up every now and then.

Consequently, if you come to my house you will find a bit of a whirlwind. If you wait a day or two it will have settled, but not without some changes. You see, I'm mixing up my rooms a bit. My front parlor is now a music room, the music room has been transformed into a dining room, and the "once upon a time" dining room is - voila! - a sitting room.

For better or for worse, depending upon your opinion - and we have plenty of those in this here house- things look different; change has happened. And I like that. I just do.



*Maybe with a little help from my daughters and a camera, we can get some photos. No promises, just an idea - and a hint to them.

**Next month I'm hoping to paint. Any volunteers? ;)

Right about now I could use a little change. Oh how I wish our house was set up to accomodate change. As it is, everything fits in each room like a puzzle and there is no room for change.

I was, however, envisioning new paint colors while cleaning yesterday. It most likely will not happen, since these walls were just painted not even three years ago, but a girl can dream, right?

I would love to help change things up at your place, paint and all. Maybe it would help with my need to do something different. However, that twenty + hour drive always gets in the way.

Happy changing!!

Forget the pictures; I'll be over in person to see this transformation. Fun! And speaking of hair styles, I just made an appointment with Carina because I am itching for a new "do." I guess I still haven't fully matured yet as I still need a new stlye every six months-at least!!!

Love you!
