Nothing EVER stays the same...:(

My dad's uncle(my great uncle) Morton Brown's estate is now historical after his passing.  The land was sold to build a neighborhood...now called Loblolly Mill Estates and of course his house was bulldozed over...:(  Sad time in life, but we were able to go back one last time to reminisce during a walk on his land before the construction took place...Hailey got a history lesson...and we remembered a family place!
                                  The sign near Uncle Morton's water mill & covered bridge...

                                                                 isn't it beautiful!
                            the old covered bridge...we used to drive through to get to his house.
                                                 Dad telling Hailey about his memories...
                            pointing out the golf course that Uncle Morton had built years ago...

                                                          Hailey liked the bridge...:)


                                                           Uncle Morton's lake...
                             Uncle Morton's stone wall in the back of his house...still standing.

                                      Hailey watching the water mill spinning after filling up.....

                            Loblolly Pine Trees...my Dad helped plant when he was a little boy...
                                                       and Hailey got a branch!

Bye Bye Long Hair!

So, I usually wait until I'm sitting in the chair at the hair salon to decided exactly what I want to do with my hair.  I've been going to the same hair dresser for over 10years and she knows me well.  I mentioned that Hailey has been wanting me to cut my hair short for a while now...similar to when I cut it off when she was only 15months old.  She has held onto a picture of me with short hair...so.....last minute decisions, decisions.                                                    Bye Bye long hair!  Hello short hair!  Hailey was very surprised & happy when my sister brought her the the salon to see the after math!  So, she requested to go home and take pictures of us...and it wouldn't b...
