OPPOSITES ATTRACT

My walking buddy Gina and I make a great pair. After almost three months of an unwanted walking sabbatical (on her part, I was quite fine with the break) we are now walking again together every morning.

Of course this acreage will have a view of the Sierra Nevada snow capped mountains.

Hairdos And Backhanded Compliments

I just don't think that men understand how special it is for a woman to get her hair done. There is something almost magical about sitting in a hair chair, having someone massage your scalp as they wash your hair with shampoos that smell so good you could drink them out of the bottle with a straw.
