I have lived in south Georgia for twenty years. Before
that I lived in middle Georgia for almost nine years. I
was born in north Georgia fifty-... uh ... a long time ago ...
and I think I have the credentials to say that Georgia is a
great place to live! At least it has been for my family
and me. (Glowing adjectives follow.) I have been married to my fantastic husband since 1973
and we have two wonderful grown children, a daughter and a son.
Our beautiful daughter and her handsome husband are expecting
our first grandchild this year. Our handsome son is a
junior in college. In the mid- '80's I became a born-again
Christian. Best decision of my life. Check out my
site to read more about that ... and other stuff, too! |
I wore my hair shortish for about 30 years but recently donated
my hair, for the second time, to an organization called "Locks
of Love." They make wigs for financially disadvantaged
children who have lost their
hair, for whatever reason, although many of their clients are
children who have alopecia areata, a condition involving
permanent hair loss. That
can be
awfully traumatic for both the children and the adults who love
them. I picked up on the idea of donating my tresses after my daughter heard
about it before her wedding in 2004 and decided that she would
donate her ponytail...so in May of that year, I had my hair cut
for her wedding in June, then had it cut in August, 2006, and
sent it to Locks of Love. It was such a gratifying experience that I let it grow and had it cut in March, 2008, and donated it
again. However, my husband says it's time for a change
now! I agree, but it surely is a great (and free!) way to
let someone know you care. Check out Locks of Love at
