A win- win situation


Add about 2-3 inches to Andrew hair, and that would be your before photo. Wish I had something more current. This is just a quick add-to on my post- makes no sense putting it here at the last minute- but I am still no good at fitting a photo into the spot I want it after the post is already done- like I thought it was till I found this pic..

So on with Pt. 1 of story-







Saturday was a great day- Andrew came home with a haircut, thanks to his buddies, and I can actually see his face now. I had told him that I wanted him to come home that evening, and I was going to trim it- it was so long, past the point of acceptable. So any way he comes home looking like this- much better than the "trim" he would have let me get away with! Wish I had some before photos for you- maybe Katie has some I can post sometime...



Adam's best buddy Matt, crazy guy- awesome person.



This guy was actually one of Adam's best buddies- used to have dreadlocks, is leaving for his mission in July. Andrew practically lives with him now...

I actually think they are quite proud of the hairdo they did- hope they will do it again before another year of hair growth on my boys head.


Win- Win!!! (pt 1)














(pt 2)





So we had this grand idea that we were going to grow and sell flowers from our new greenhouse. Well, we grew them, along with 1500 watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumber, and tomato plants. Now marketing and selling it all has been another issue. So we have planted approximately 1200 plants in the biggest three gardens I have ever even thought about planting, hoeing, fertilizing (with goat and horse shookey), and watering. Wish us luck on actually harvesting any of it, as we are now dealing with bugs and wilt diseases in the tomatoes. Anyway next year we are going to try our luck at the farmers market once or twice a week- but until then, I guess I will just have to keep all the flowers at my house...darn...







WIN-WIN!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, for a second there after seeing the pic of Savannah at the beginning, I thought you were going to say that you cut her hair and donated it to Locks of Love too! It's sooooo long, but it is absolutely beautiful! I hope she doesn't cut it, but if she ever does, donating it is a great thing to do.

I was amazed to see the real hair cut, though. Andrew looks fabulous!!! Good job, Andrew! You look ready for the mission now, too! :-)

Speaking of missions, how is that missionary of yours doing anyway?

Sorry the marketing thing has been so difficult and that your tomatoes are wilting, but the flowers sure look pretty! :-)

What a transformation! the son and the yard. Mike and Torrey and Tayler were here yesterday and I kept wishing I could see their faces - you know, the hair has to hide everything, thoughts, and looks. Be grateful for friends that are good influences. Change of heart happens. Love WoW

Andrew,
You are the most handsome young man. It's nice to see that handsome face. The hair looks great.
Shell,
The yard looks wonderful. I would love for you to come and bring your flowers and do a makeover in my yard. When's good for you?

Hey it's Andrew! I bet you feel a tone lighter! LOL.

That is TOO bad that you had to make good use of all those beautiful flowers yourself. I am sure it is soo hard to sit and enjoy them yourself too. Shame!

I can't believe how grown up Andrew is! He is almost a MAN!!! I LOVE your house sis, wish I could see it in person.

Hey Andrew, next time you need a haircut...come on over. Mine are cheap. I cut hair very well. Better than your mom....just ask your uncle Dirk. (recall that story Shellbell?)

Nice flowers, so bummed you didn't get to sell them all. Oh well, your home looks so lively with them all. The more, the better. I got stingy this year with my porch hanging pots....since we are selling the house. I only bought two.
