This year our youngest granddaughter went off to kindergarten. Of course a new backpack was necessary to celebrate the occasion!
Her older cousin, our only other granddaughter, got her long hair cut and a sophisticated hairstyle for her return to school this year.
Not to be outdone, my 95-year-old father-in-law made it to his monthly appointment with Mary at the beauty shop in his retirement community.
Pop And Mary Getting The Pedi Started
A haircut, a mani, and a pedi is something Pop loves and looks forward to each month and I don't blame him. Mary has done his hair and nails for the last 5 years, and she always makes him feel special.
How about you? Pedicures...like 'em or loath them?
I don't like my nails touched by other people so I thought I would hate them. I finally tried it this month for the second time in my life. I did cringe a little at times, but it was so worth it in the end.
Thanks for dropping by!
Cute girls. That is cool for your FIL.
ReplyDeleteIf someone wanted to give ma a foot massage I would accept! Mani and pedi have always been done at home. I have never had either done professionally.
I just about cope with having my hair cut, but wouldn't want anyone touching my nails. I don't even like massages, whereas my partner loves them.
ReplyDeleteSad to say I have never had a massage either. Just don't like the idea of it, although due to surgery I did go to a Medical Masseuse for a while. She was expense, but really helped.
DeleteThose are all cuties! I love that your FIL had a pedicure. I like the results but some of the treatments is too ticklish!
ReplyDeleteI do hands and feet of my boys every month otherwise their nails get out of control. I do my own as well as pluck my eyebrows. My husband does his own fingernails, but he doesn’t always stay on top of his toenails, so I tell him get the clippers, I will get them for you. He gives the boys their monthly haircuts and he trims mine every couple months to stay on top of our grooming.
ReplyDeleteKeri, you must save a lot of money each month by doing haircuts and nails for so many. I'd call that self-sufficient to the max!
DeletePrecious Pictures. Our youngest grandchild started First Grade. His sister our grandddaughter started junior high . Big changes for our daughter and son in law. My cousin she is age 101 and she still drives. She is completely alert and orientated. Her son is a Doctor so she gets excellent care.
ReplyDeleteWow. 101. My father-in-law had to give up driving at 86. He walked 5 miles every day until he was late 80's. He worked until he was 65 in the leather industry in Dallas, then got another job as a bag boy at 65 until he was 80!
DeleteNew backpacks are always a treat, I could use a new one, if not for my aching back. And a haircut, I HATE getting my hair done, and my mani pedi is horrible. I like how they look after, but hate the sitting and waiting. Not to mention the odor of the salon. Needless to say a hair cut is necessary, but a mani/pedi is not so frequent.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful family you have. Is there anything more exciting, and scary, than the first day of kindergarten?

O, I love them and it's past time for another...
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan because I really don't like people touching my feet or hands. Every once in a while it's a luxury. Your granddaughters are cuties.
ReplyDeleteI am no fan of pedicures, manicures or massages. I do not care for other people touching me if not medically related.... Strange, I know but I can't help it!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by!
Hugs,
Debbie
What a lovely family!
ReplyDeleteThe girls are adorable, kindergarten is always so special to the kids and parents.
ReplyDeleteI love pedicures and just tonight, thought I really need my toenails painted again LOL
