Life in the Middle Age Lane

I had a really good friend who once said to pray for purpose and direction.  You have no idea how many times I think of these wise words.  I think everyone needs purpose and direction or you start feeling a sense of loss.  Like something is missing.  I mean do you really want trash days to be the only reason you get out of bed on Mondays and Thursday?  And even then you might resort to every other week of taking the trash out, when that excitement wears off.  My mind is wandering off topic.  Back to purpose and direction.  I have been open to new things and keeping busy by de-cluttering here and there as well as spring cleaning.  I'm currently in the middle of making a t shirt quilt for my son and making a "candy bar" for my dear friends wedding.  I've never done either of these things on the scale that I'm currently working on.  I have so many things started right now but I also do not feel overwhelmed but at peace knowing I have something to do.  And somethin

Thursday night is Bunco Night with my favorite ladies and I decided to do my hair like one of the tutorials on youtube that I found while surfing the internet.

Anyway back to my "youtube tutorial".  I found this great way to pin my hair that looked 'Oh so cute' and easy to do, it took all of 5 minutes, if that.  I have attached it so you gals can see how simple it is and how cute it comes out. htt
