Someone I thought was a "nice guy" stood me up, then was dishonest about it. I arranged for another meetup, thinking I would stand him up so as to get my revenge. But in the end, I was nice. We didn't speak of the previous engagement, and now I think I want him for an LTR. Am I being stupid?
Abby with the bush
-------------------------------------------------------
Okay, so remember my tale of woe last week when I'd set up a consultation from a bush guy about our junipers? He didn't show but tried to say that he did? I was upset enough to schedule another consultation, thinking I'd be a no-show or I'd cancel at the last minute or I'd lead them on only to say, "NO WAY!". Show them!
Well, none of those scenarios seemed very me-like once I'd cooled the engines. He showed up a little while ago for our re-schedule. I didn't say anything about the first appointment, neither did he. He looked at my bush and seemed to like it enough to want to come back. I'm seriously thinking of entering this relationship. Yup, probably gonna do it. *SIGH*
We did get other quotes, but I think I've found my bush guy. Red Flags and all.
Speaking of bushy, Meego turned 20 last week. Twenty?! Not that twenty is necessarily bushy, but we had a birthday get together with the whole brood. Stay-at-home restrictions have lifted somewhat and the state parks have opened.
With that in mind, we hit Lory State Park on Saturday for a lovely bit of nature, fresh air, and sunshine. The guys actually allowed us to get a few pics - rare as a Bigfoot sighting, but not that different in appearance. It was like a "Who's Got the Biggest Hair" contest
Tough to call, really. My hair is relatively short in the back these days, but top and front are rather "Cousin It", but can be tucked into a cap. The guys have harder times controlling their lockdown hair.
Magnum is the cleanest cut of us all since I'd given him a kitchen buzz a couple of weeks ago.
All in all, a beautiful day for a hike and some family time.
Chaco's county has tougher restrictions than ours. While masks are required inside public buildings, they are not required outside, and I rarely see them outdoors here. Chaco's county also requires them in public places outside, including hiking trails and such, so this was like a new experience for him - seeing all the naked faces.
But actually, the trail was a lot less crowded than I thought it would be considering it was a beautiful day on a weekend, and the trails had just reopened. Much social distance to be had.
Surprisingly, however, the ticket booth people were neither masked nor gloved. They greeted vehicles, took in money, handed back change, and answered questions all willy nilly from the confines of their small booth.
Hmmm, the things we find strange these days.

You have a beautiful family Abby. The scenery was magnificent.
I was about to say the same thing as Chatty Crone - she beat me!
As for the hat - I am now living in my ball cap. Thankfully I have about 4 of them I rotate. My hair not only has gray roots but it's out of control. No longer the style it once was, it is just a mess. I have another 5 weeks to go. If they do open at the end of this month I will still wait and only have it done before the bridal shower so I don't scare my family. But in all honestly I would just keep going for awhile Our neighbors are not going down sadly. Rick's hair looks great because I cut it and I can not cut my own hair. Oh a snip here and there but a full cut - no way.
Sandie, thanks, I'm blessed. And this was my first visit to the area - beautiful views.
Peggy, I've activated the hats, headbands, clips, bandanas, etc. for the hair wars. Our salons and barbershops are now open, but I'm seeing how long I can stand it. I cut Magnum's hair, but don't cut my own. And he's certainly not allowed to return that favor!
Wow when did your sons grow up! What a handsome family you have. :)
Joey, aw thanks. They do grow up fast, as you know with your lovely daughters!
