Are you brave enough to post a picture ........

Fun thread! Holly, I think that picture of you on the bridge is gorgeous, but then your pictures are always gorgeous.

When I went in for my physical last year, I mentioned to the doctor that I had just come back from my granddaughter's wedding, and he said he finds it hard to believe that I have a married granddaughter. I
think it's mainly a matter of attitude. Or another word for it is denial. I refuse to think of myself as an old lady. I am in late middle age! ;)

Thanks for the compliments... I think hair is probably the first thing people notice about a person so having a hair fetish isn't a bad thing. :) Honestly? I'm not sure what my natural color is anymore. I started going gray at 25 so have been dying my hair since, but only recently started having blonde highlights added to try to hide the gray roots longer. I may give up the highlights when I quit working (to be economical) and try to do drugstore dye to hide my gray, but I have also grappled with the idea of just letting myself go gray. But the grow-out process has got to be brutal - good for you for sticking it out!

I will probably still keep my nails manicured, by myself, but I plan to give up "getting them done" every 2-3 weeks, again, to save money. Sue

Ok I understand what you mean. You get your hair and nails done for you and it costs a fortune. My brother in laws sister gets her hair done every 6 weeks for colouring and streaks and it costs her $300 each time. Actually that price was what she quoted 3 years ago. I’m sure it’s gone up by then. I’d find that difficult to do. First off I’m a DIY’er and like to save money plus I don’t trust others enough with my hair or like being personally fussed with. Then again I don’t have a professional job where I need to look perfectly manicured.

Up until 2015 I didn’t quite know what my colour was. All I know was that I had to do root touch ups every 10 days and it got to be too much after a while. Now it’s been 3 1/2 years since I naturally coloured but it was BRIGHT. When I purchased my scroll saw 4 years ago I saw an older woman in her late ‘60’s with a long silver braid down to the back of her knees and decided that’s what I want. :lol: It’s at hip length now but is still growing.

Here is the colour i had and the silver head I’d become

I kept creating styles that blended the colours. Now it’s mostly silver with only a bit of colour left but it looks cool in buns and braids now. Plus it’s super fun playing with washable hair colours.

Good luck whatever you decide. It’s a big decision.

Thanks you for the compliment my friend... ..but yes I believe you're right. Illness or pain aside which of course can be very ageing , I do think that it's all down to mental attitude to keep you young

Then you click the button that says ‘choose file.’
It will open up the photo library on your phone.
pick the picture you want . Then right underneath the ‘choose picture ‘ button will be a blank WHITE PATCH. That is a button that uploads your pictures.

Good luck Carol
Youve got this

Thick, gorgeous long hair! Mine is very thick, too. But rather than us continuing to hijack this thread, is there a way I can send you a private message to pick your brain about the process of going gray? Love the photos!

Thanks, Keesha. One slight correction: although I bought the cowboy hat in Texas the day before the wedding and wore it that night to the dinner, the picture I posted here was taken about a week later,
after I got home. It's a selfie. (I suddenly recognized my own living room in the picture. Duh!)

I LOVE the cowboy hat on you. You are one very ‘put together’ woman and you wear it well.
It really suites you.

Yes I should turn my PM system back on so we can chat about hair but I do rather enjoy hijacjing threads.
Just ask anyone here :lofl:
 
Just had our 54th WA. This photo was taken last year. Being married to me so long has turned my husband's hair white!

This is our oldest grandson who just turned 30 yesterday. He is the one I've talked about on this forum that found me on Facebook a couple years ago looking for his dad. Unfortunately he was 2 years too late. The cute little guy with the red hair was born 2 months before our son died, never knowing he had this son or a grandchild. Our grandson and his wife flew right out (they live across the country from us) and spent a week with us and his half brother (his only sibling), his Aunt, Uncles and cousins. The twins were born a little over a year later. All of them mean the world to me.

Great to see you and J again Linda...and haven't the twins grown fast ?!!!! Lovely pics
 
Thanks Holly. Yes, the twins walk now (they were 1 in early Dec) and the little girl talks non-stop. I have only seen them on videos but that is sure better than what was available back in the olden days.
 
WoW, walking... time really does go fast!!!...yes you're right facetime or video is better than just pictures, hopefully you'll get a visit before they get too much bigger!!
