No big trips planned this year, but in another month we will do a little road trip to Spokane, WA, which is planned. Then when we leave Spokane we will fly by the seat of our pants. I have the map ready and some ideas, but no reservations or definite plans. I don't usually travel like that; so we will see how it goes.Marilyn Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115440271615593122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-41773276808563234842018-04-29T03:01:34.128-04:002018-04-29T03:01:34.128-04:00Hi Mary,

I just wash mine, blow dry in five minutes and I'm done. I couldn't have layers and have to spend hours on it ! I think it's a myth about not having long hair when you get older .... as long as it's cut regularly and looked after it's fine. You are at the awkward stage between lengths and it's then that a lot of people get fed up and get it cut ..... persevere dear Mary and you'll get there !

I have trouble buying hats though, all the 'one size fits most' are too big for me. For wearing when I mow the yard I went with a man's straw hat that comes in sizes and even then the smallest size is almost too big. Children's hats are too small though. Always something. And no, I don't color my hair, have some gray.Joyce Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17293337508638751474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-77439936959699099762018-04-28T14:08:02.969-04:002018-04-28T14:08:02.969-04:00Mary, come visit me so I can see your new hairstyl...Mary, come visit me so I can see your new hairstyle :)<br />Miss you and Bob!

I switched to a boar hair bristle brush and it's helping a lot, less harsh than a regular brush. My hair is wavy too, but it doesn't look nice that way, it does look unkept and I hate it! I use a hair dryer every other day, but we will be switching to more natural products for our hair as soon as we're done with the stuff we have. I'm a hat gal too! :) I'm currently thinking of a nice floppy garden hat, I'll have to look for one next time I'm out shopping!Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-56103983609900285162018-04-27T09:33:53.711-04:002018-04-27T09:33:53.711-04:00My hair has naturally thinned as I'm getting &...My hair has naturally thinned as I'm getting "older", but I still thankfully have lots of it. I prefer to keep my hair a little shorter (chin length) as it's very thin, so if it gets longer it looks very straggly. My mother, who is 78, has hair loss on her scalp and so she has grown her hair longer, too. It hits between her chin and shoulders. Truthfully, I don't like it. I think it's aging. But, each to their own. I do get my hair colored. I am not ready to go gray yet!

For me I would have to either have it REALLY short or the option I choose - really long. In between leaves me with my scalp exposed no matter how I part it so I have it long and pull it up to a gentle elastic and go from there. I have found lots of things to do at that point - a loose braid at the moment, sometimes a lower poof, sometimes a lower pony tail with a ribbon, sometimes two poofs. I don't have to fuss with it during the day and now I only have to wash it once a week. It is less bother and easier to manage than when it is shorter. And I like my multi-color nature shade - some women pay big money for what I have! I also wanted to avoid what I see on lots of older women - a big flat spot at the back where they slept on it and didn't notice.sillygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971787430517830586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-28613937726438859082018-04-27T08:28:18.567-04:002018-04-27T08:28:18.567-04:00Hats are a great idea, especially in our beastly s...Hats are a great idea, especially in our beastly summers. I'm sorry to hear about your hair loss. My hair has always been thin so I know well the challenges it presents. I keep mine just long enough to be able to clip it up when on the boat so it isn't flying all over the place. Last summer I bought several of those "banana" clips which were great to keep it in place and made for a fairly pulled together look. Also great on those hot humid days to feel cooler.Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-22035854479659333652018-04-27T08:26:23.484-04:002018-04-27T08:26:23.484-04:00Dear Mary, I wish I had beautiful hair, but I don&...Dear Mary, I wish I had beautiful hair, but I don't.

I can tie it back, if needed, although I rarely do. More hats is a wish for my wardrobe, too. When I turned 60 a year and a half ago, I decided to stop colouring my hair. I'm so glad I did, although the growing out was a little uncomfortable. There is just a bit of colour left in some spots and by the time I have another haircut or two, it will be all natural. <br /><br />Will your USA travels bring you out west? And perhaps across the border?
