Coming Home to Kansas

Hannah! Hope you had a good birthday. Were you working? Has it been dry there? I was watering everything yesterday, and the ground here is like cement.

All of these recent birthdays made me wonder if blogger has some way to program in birthdays, anniversaries, etc., for our group members. It would be cool to have some way to have them pop up in the blog or via email.... Like some sort of blogger calendar. Do you know of anything like that, Ellie?

Even though summer never slows down anymore, I wonder if you all have any specific plans during the next few months? Vacations? Trips? Jobs? Goals?

And is anyone who doesn't live in Kansas planning to visit this summer? I am thinking I will spend at least one weekend in the Sunflower State. And speaking of Kansas, poor Greensburg. For some reason, I keep thinking I knew someone who had ties to that town, but then I often think that about *any* Kansan small town.

Hope you are enjoying the weekend!

This is the brush that I love. You can find a variety of brushes here. You can find distributers of the brushes here. Just search by your state and city.

I am a day early though, right?

I got my hair cut yesterday and that makes me think of you, Sarah. I think you could help me out of my current rut. Anyway. The woman who cuts my hair always remarks how long my hair takes to dry (it really does take forever). Yesterday, she told me that paper towels were the secret to getting the most excess water out of your hair. Better than terrycloth. I love it. All these expensive hair products, and what will really work on my hair? Brawny.

She also say that fabric softener sheets are the secret to getting rid of flyaway dry hair in winter. I love that she never tries to sell me the pricey stuff. She sends me to the household section. I wondered if you have hair secrets like this, too, Sarah?

And, how will you spend your birthday?
