      Is that a green face I see? I hope so. I know how hard it is to find work. I am a hairdresser and have doing some of my clientele for 10-15 years, some longer. They have to cut back and I totally understand. Some times I am holding checks till pay day for them. It is fine with me. I actually retired 2 years ago but some of them just said no I am not going anywhere else...Well ok!! So I work part time. I also baby sit 3 ladies in the 90's for a lady that has them living in her home. The only problem is I only work when her and her husbands work schedule overlap. This would be from about 12:30 a.m. to 3:30 a.m. It is rough the next day if I have to do hair. I do enjoy them, and yes they are up. Night owls those old gals. They love me. I polish their nails and read them stories. Sometimes I just hold a book and make up a story in my head. I get paid well for that job because when I told her I had to quit she DOUBLED my pay...Yikks. Hubby is retired but we still struggle like everyone else. We help our daughter and the 2 grandboys and she works 2 jobs. This whole economy just is wrong. What happen? Like I didn't know. Ok I am talking your ear off. I sure hope that green face means you are feel a bit better. Naomi xo

      That website was really neat. I played the kitty and piano 3 times. I used to have a cat that would just walk up and down the keys. It was cute but could getting irritating since he wasn't a really good player. Thanks for sending that. Hope you get some sun this weekend. Naomi xo
