Retirement Day - from Red to Pink

Thursday, June 30th was my last day of work at Comerica after 34 years.  Last Sunday at the Y,  Joan, one of my friends from weaving suggested I dye my hair red for my last day.  I was intrigued enough that I looked at the hair dye and the drugstore that day but wasn't sure what shade and everything said it was permanent - not ready for that kind of commitment.

Frank saw her at the stretch class on Wednesday and when I came home from work on Wednesday Frank said that she had suggested it to him.  I said why not - might as well go out with a bang.  A trip to another drug store had the usual permanent hair dye but temporary spray on dye in purple, blue, pink, silver and glitter.  I picked pink as the closest to red as I could get.

The next morning - I sprayed a little in my hair then wiped allot of it out - I was being timid.  When Frank got up he said it wasn't enough and proceeded to take the can and spray away.

 I must say I did cause a stir.  It succeeded in making most people laugh or at lease smile.  It was a great way to go out.

Additional pics will be put out later.
