Hats Always Make Me Smile

There's nothing better that a child in a hat!! I am so lucky to have caught 6 of my faves in hats. Hats or dress up seem to bring out the real child. I love to watch these kids play in this way. Their pictures seem to tell enough of a story without my words.

The Simple Pleasures??

What an interesting element to our current culture! Never in my right mind would I ever think I would be paying a fair penny to have someone else paint my toes. The truth of the matter is that I can barely bend over long enough to paint my own. Not to mention lacking the ability of seeing the target unless I'm peering just right through my progressive lenses. I can't believe that a few short years ago I could physically maintain such indulgences for myself but never took the time. As we age, there seems to be more and more things that I find useful to hire out. It isn't even the mindset of living a more spoiled life. Some of it boils downright to neccessity! When I get massages, it isn't because I feel I deserve to be pampered, it's because my body is in so much discomfort I'm looking for an alternative to meds. The need usually results from trying something I should really hire out, like painting my toes. Don't think I don't cherish these simple pleasures...I REALLY am grateful that there are individuals who serve in this fashion. I find it more rewarding to be given these pleasures for gifts than something material. So, since I need to have someone else beautify my feet I feel I should go with gusto. Purple polish and flowers! Could there be anything happier to look at?
