doesnt' he look handsome?for the past several days, dad has mentioned to me that he was ready for a haircut.
he hadn't had one since he moved here 6 months ago, and i didn't push it.
his hair is gorgeous, snowy white with a little curl.
but he was starting to look like a mad scientist!
i called my friend karen monday morning and she said she could give him a cut at 4.
she is the most wonderful hair stylist i have ever known. our kids are similar in age and we are members of the same church. i knew she would be great with dad.
so i called him up and told him. he was excited.
then, about 2:30 the phone rang.
oh no, he's backing out, i thought.
"what time did you tell me you were coming?" he asked.
"i'll be over about 3:30", i told him.
"good" he said, "three ladies just met me in the hall and told me they were coming to cut my hair!"
we both laughed so hard.
so i went over and we worked on his puzzle a few minutes and then i got a call from son #2.
he said he had been by our house and he wanted to show me something.
i asked if he would meet us at the hair salon.
when we got to the salon, jordan was waiting.
he had picked up the ENGAGEMENT RING!!!!! for his sweetie.
it was great that dad was there to see it. i had given jordan mom's engagement ring and he had used the stone in a new setting. it was absolutely fabulous. dad got a little teared up, as did i.
(if you live in mooresville, please keep this a secret!)
we went into the salon and dad confessed that he gets nervous in new situations. but he told me he was glad i was with him.
the haircut went very well. and he was so happy.
i told him i needed to run home to stick dinner in the oven. i invited him to join us, expecting the usual "no". but he said yes!
i put dinner in the oven and we chatted for the hour and a half until dinner was ready and my husband had arrived home. we had great conversation and he really enjoyed himself.
our neighbor came over as we were finishing dinner, had a plate with us and talked to my dad about a big grill he is building. right up dad's alley!
later, we drove him home and were bursting with joy the whole way back :)
