My Mimi

Yesterday was "MIMI HAIR DAY". Yes, my 92 year old mother goes every other week to get her hair "done". Of COURSE, she can't go at HearthStone (at the salon where she lives!), she  has to go back to the same woman who has fixed it for 35 years or so (down in yukky East Lake!)! Judy and I (and sometimes Dean!) take turns taking her.  Round trip from here to there---ummmmmmm---60 miles?! Takes me longer to GET there  than to fix her hair! HAHA! But she loves Glenda, who has fixed it all those years. Glenda is so sweet and Mimi calls her "my other daughter!" I've made pictures there before---last year when I took Lily with us, but Katie wanted some "pictures of my MIMI" so she told me to take her new digital camera and make some pix of her yesterday! I'm so glad I did! I LOVE Katie's new little camera. It makes GREAT pix and it's soooooo easy to put in your purse! Not big/bulky like mine! And the viewfinder is HUGE! I can SEE the shots without my glasses! I might just have to steal it ...Wondering about MIMI riding in my little Buglet?  Actually, she loves my little blue Volkswagen and she can get in and out of it very well b/c it is low enough for her to get in/out very easily. We pop the walker in the back seat and off we go. Sometimes we go to eat lunch afterwards, sometimes I run into Dollar General and get her some "surprises"(like yesterday!) and sometimes I just sit there and chat with the other blue haired ladies in the salon....Since she couldn't go see Katie on Saturday night, I had to take her the program. She said, "What was wrong with those judges???? Why didn't they pick KATIE to WIN?!" Drat! I knew those judges should have called my mother to be the 5th judge!

P.S. Don't you LOVE the pix of Mimi in her PINK sunglasses? Katie gave them to her last year! She got them at CLAIRE'S at the Galleria (the shop for young girls!). I think Mimi looks HOT in those glasses!
