Locks of Love...

It may not be great, but it's relatively healthy and LONG so I chopped it off today to donate to  Locks of Love, an organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis.

Here are the before and after shots (I always love these:)...

 

Bath, Enland

Our good friends, Brad and Celeste, just moved to Bath 3 weeks ago.  Brad, Steve's oldest friend, was just promoted to Lieutenant colonel and is a liaison to the Brittish Army. We decided last minute to drive up and see them last weekend and even though they are barely settled and still don't have their furniture, they welcomed us with open arms.  This is actually the closet we've ever lived to each other since I've known them. Celeste is 7 months pregnant, though you can't tell in the pictures:)  It was a great trip with some unexpected sights like Stone Henge, and a firework show on the base for Guy Fawkes night.

 The Irish National Stud, Tully, Co Kildare...
(For well over 100 years, the pride of Tully has been a working stud farm, its central objective being to produce for Ireland thoroughbreds capable of being crowned champions at home and abroad.)

These aren't the studs ;-)
