Hair Tales Continued

Helloooooooo.

This is me blogging from the future. 2020 to be precise. I thought I'd blogged Liz's modelling experience, but I don't seem to have anything about it on here. So this is me trying to document it before I lose all the pictures.



So I as I mentioned before - Ashlie's class put on a hair show to demonstrate everything they'd learned during their course. Liz was one of their models. The theme had to do with the elements, but I've forgotten which one Elisabeth was. EEK!


If you can't tell from the pictures, she had a blast! Liz was one of the youngest models in the show, and got to floss on stage while the others in her group cheered her on. It was so great.



 Afterwards she posed with her mama!

A terrible trip

Walking down the street last night
I saw myself a ghastly sight
Plastic, drink cups, wrappers there
Strewn across the grass without care

How lazy must these people be
The trash bin stood nearby, empty
But instead, they chose to throw it here and leave

How I despise this ugly act
When people leave their garbage stacked
Can they not take any responsibility?

A poem by David Menary (about littering)

Hair tales

Ashlie is working on a diploma in hairdressing. I'm not sure what the proper terminology is. But next week her class is putting on a show. They each had to find ten models and they'll be doing their hair to fit one of several themes.

My fearless girlie volunteered to be one of the models and her hair will be changing to blue and purple. She asked me if we could document her natural hair colour before her big transformation.



So you can kind of tell that she does have some colour in her hair. It's a little redder than normal.




We left the park and then headed to the beach.


It was freezing.


Isn't she beautiful?!


Birthday celebrations at Rocky Point

Well, I guess we did our celebrating at Red Robins (after a little confusion over which location we were supposed to be at!) It was such a beautiful day we decided to go for a walk at Rocky Point Park.



Those fall colours were just stunning.




 I gave Elisabeth my camera for a while. She captured some dooozies.



Ugh I'm not a fan of these pictures of me, but I am a fan of the friendship represented here. 25 years with this beautiful woman.



There is always a lot going on at this park, it's one of the most used parks I know of.
















Apparently there was an art installation in Vancouver last spring. This is from that installation.


A bunch of humans got together and wove the nests on here. They're fashioned like the nests of local birds.


And together they make up this giant nest.
