There’s just nothing in all the world like a good haircut. And this one was fine. Shorn just to the tops of her eyes exactly the way she liked it best. And even better, now that her bangs had been trimmed, she could once again catch each glimmer sent her way by Henry, the studly cottage across the lane. Ahhh, life is grand sometimes. Simple. And grand.

  1. AH! Love her new haircut. Can’t wait to find out how it goes with Henry. 😉 I think I’m going to have to do a few micros of my own while I’m in the UK next month.

    1. Please share your micros with us when you do write them! And ENJOY the UK!!! 🙂 And we’re all hoping for the best for her with Henry! 😉
