The last goodbye's the hardest one to say...

I have been waiting for June 1st for awhile.  Well, it finally came! We headed to San Antonio Friday night for a weekend with my parents. We had dinner Friday night at Landry's on the RiverWalk.  It was great! Boiled shrimp, wedge salad, and salmon! We even took home a slice of key lime pie for dessert. The next morning we had breakfast at the hotel and then my mom and I got our hair done.  We had Mexican food and margaritas on the RiverWalk at Acenar.  It was great!

Now, the real reason for this post.....Saturday night it was time to see the King, King George. We walked over to the AlamoDome for the concert.  Martina McBride opened followed by Miranda Lambert. About nine o'clock George took the stage.  He was great! He played his favorite songs, some oldies, and some new hits. He honored three wounded military men by giving them a new home, groceries for a year, a job, and a big screen tv.  It was amazing to hear 70,000 people cheer USA USA USA for these wounded warriors.  They also awarded a Medal of Honor recipient for his act of valor while he was in Afghanistan. 

George played for about two and a half hours. It was likes big sing a long with 70,000 people! By the way, George made history last night by having that many people at his show!  It was packed and it was filled with cheers and clapping. He ended the night with "the cowboy rides away."  George is such a class act and it was great to see him on his last stop of his last tour!

A little change...

So yesterday, I decided to make a change.  I have had long hair for a long time.  I have always wanted to donate my hair and figured why not now.  Generally, my mother always talks me out of cutting my hair but yesterday she was all for it. So, I cut off a whooping 12 inches!  I am going to donate it to Pantene Beautiful Lengths because they will make the hair into a wig for a cancer patient.  Locks of Love makes wigs for kids suffering from alopecia.   Both are great causes and need people to donate!  

Here's a little info...

1.  Donation has to be a minimum of 8 inches and there is no maximum.
2. Hair must be secured in a ponytail and then cut.
3. Hair that is excessively colored or bleached cannot be used.
4. Curly hair can be used.
5. Any hair stylists can do it. All they need to do is cut off the ponytail and then you mail your ponytail to the organization of your choice!
6. Google these organizations for more info...  Locks of Love or Pantene Beautiful Lengths
