a quick retreat

February 21, 2013 By Talya Tate Boerner 7 Comments

in the hospital surgery waiting room last week

Staci:  Momma should be in recovery now.
Me: Yes we should be hearing something soon.
Cute guy sitting nearby, 30-ish: (Walks over to us…) Excuse me, my wife is a hairdresser. I thought you might be interested. (He hands each of us a business cards.)
Me:  (laughing) Really? (more laughing)
Staci: Are you saying we need to call her?
Me: Does our hair look that bad?
Cute guy: Oh no no no, just trying to help her get business.
Both of us: Thanks! I guess?

He quickly retreated…:)

Farm Livin’

Today I am participating in a week of ThanksBlogging with Arkansas Women Bloggers.  Today’s challenge is to take a photo of something I am thankful for and enhance it with Pic Monkey.

Highway 140, Mississippi County, Arkansas
I am thankful to have been raised on a farm,
where I learned the smell and feel of dirt,
where a traffic jam means being stuck behind a tractor.
I breathe it in, hold it inside, take it with me.
