The Perks of Hairstyling!

I just had another incredible moment with my parents with the excuse of styling Moms hair!  My Dad had copies of photos from his parents and brothers and sisters.  I love this photo of my Grandma Robertson (Lucille Shurtleff Robertson).  She is beautiful and whomever took her picture thought so too, you can tell! 

I love the fingerwaves, the makeup, and the pose.  I guess I love it because she was so beautiful inside too!  And it's so fun to see that she felt beautiful outside also.  Not showy, just beautiful

Simplify! A favorite quote by Lowell Bennion

"Learn to like what doesn't cost much.
Learn to like reading, conversation, music.
Learn to like plain food, plain service, plain cooking.
Learn to like fields, trees, brooks, hiking, rowing, climbing hills.
Learn to like people, even though some of them may be different... different from you.
Learn to like to work and enjoy the satisfaction of doing your job as well as it can be done.
Learn to like the songs of birds, the companionship of dogs.
Learn to like gardening, puttering around the house and fixing things.
Learn to like the sunrise and sunset, the beating of rain on the roof and windows
and the gentle fall of snow on a winter day.

Learn to keep your wants simple, and refuse to be controlled by the likes and dislikes of others."

I love to watch children and see the world through their eyes!  Every lady bug and butterfly is a delight, and every moment is lived to it's fullest.  I love to see my children laughing one moment, upset the next, then, having moved to the next moment, laughing again!  If I could forgive so easily and live so fully in the present!!!  This is my goal for the next year:)  

We spent so much of the summer last year going on little day trips and spending time outdoors!  It was one of my favorite summers in my memory . . . and we have a new one to look forward to!!!  I can't wait!  In the near future I will post a list of my favorite places to go, and then I'll blog our adventures!  There's lots to plan and look forward to!
