I've been waiting patiently on my sunflower faces to show up & I opened the blinds yesterday morning & TA-DA!!! *the bumble bees loves'em too!

I broke down & did it!! I chopped off my hair today! I've tried for a while now to let it grow. It just wasn't meant to be for me to have long flowy hair! So, just look what i did! ...oh well i'll get use to it or it'll grow....maybe?

BIG BASS !!

A buddy of Jeff's pulled in this big ol' bass while we was gone, him & granny had to "measure" it & said it was around 8 lbs & granny said it was over 4 boards wide!!!
