This is me putting together the last five pages of my mom's book. I took a break and got my hair cut. So, I made sure my son included my new hair do.
Funny story: I came to the picture of my mom walking in the "swimsuit" competition representing "Miss Tall Chicago" in the national pageant. I wanted to know the date, and I thought that I would call my mom knowing that she probably wouldn't remember.
Me: Mom, do you remember when you were Miss Tall Chicago?
Mom: Call Chicago. No, you called me, and I have your message on my machine.
Me: No mom. TALL not CALL. Maybe you should turn down the volume on your TV. (As she is turning down the volume, I notice my kids are laughing on the couch, and I start laughing too.)
Mom: Now, what is this about me calling Chicago?
Me: No mom, you know you were Miss Tall Chicago back in the late forties or fifties. You know the Tall Girl Club you were part of.
Mom: No, Carol, I was never a CALL GIRL. Where did you get the idea I was a CALL GIRL? Why would I do a thing like that?
Me: (My kids are now uncontrollably laughing, and I am trying my hardest not to laugh.) Oh, never mind. I'll see you tomorrow, mom.
Mom: Ok, I love you.
Me: I love you too. :)

Funny story.

Hey Andrew, welcome to my blog and thank you for the affirmation about the hair!
Congrats on finishing the scrapbook. I know it will be a treasured gift. I enjoy making scrapbooks for family too but after a while having to choose between all the pics gets to me. I just want to finish!
Your hair looks great!
