Despite turning twenty-six years old yesterday, my Andrea is still (thankfully) not too old to ask her mommy to cut her bangs.

Happy birthday to my banged-up baby girl!
Today's question:
Seems everyone has one: What is your bangs-disaster story?
As I was going through some of my photos to create a collage of summer shots I took over the last few months, I came across this:
It first startled me because I don't know those guys. I wondered what kind of ghostly happenings went on with my computer, leaving such a murderous image seemingly straight from a horror flick in my Picasa.
Then I truly laughed out loud as I remembered what it was.
One day in June when Jim was home for lunch, he called me into the kitchen, saying, "You gotta see this ... but don't go past the window." So as I crept into the kitchen, he directed me to look out the dining room window, where what do I behold but barber duty taking place on the deck of our always mysterious, endlessly bizarre neighbors. Hilarious!
This may be illegal ... who knows ... but I slunk way down at the dining room table and shot this with maximum zoom, right through the window. They never even noticed.
Funny thing is, neither of those guys in the photo are our neighbors and we had never seen them next door before. Even funnier: Later that evening there was a whole new set of guys out there -- including our neighbor, the father of one of the guys -- lined up for their turn while all the others gave advice and compliments.
I think somebody got a good deal on a pair of clippers at the flea market then shared his good fortune with his buddies, calling out, "Free summer cuts all around!"
Tomorrow I will post the collage I mentioned. For today, this forgotten photo was just too funny to pass up!
Today's question:
How often do you visit a hair salon and what do you usually have done? (Cut? color? highlights? lowlights?)
Daddy Preston, Grandpa Jim and big-boy Bubby make a family event out of a visit to Sports Clips for a haircut.

Today's question:
Happy Fourth of July! What do you love most about our great country?
