Saudi Arabia, and The Hair Care Lady

 December 3, 1980

This is the picture that I associate with "The Hair Care Lady"

"Dad got an offer for a job and if he takes it we will be living in Saudi Arabia for two years on the way home to America after that we might could see Germany, Switzerland etc.  We could see Jerusalem too while there.  But that's a maybe.  If we went the house would be furnished - maybe even the furniture - It would be sooo neat! But I'll find out this weekend and I've gotta keep my mouth closed.  Well there is no time for any more - everything is the same as usual.  The Hair care lady [We had an activity at Young Women's] said my hair well I had as much hair as there was of me so I needed to wear it in braids or a close hairstyle either that or cut short.

Well gotta go Bye!

GOODNIGHT

Sherie"

*I do not remember being excited about the opportunity in Saudi Arabia, but in a later entry I do say that "I hope we go so Bad!"  We did not go and I don't even mention finding out we weren't going! 

I remember feeling like the "hair care lady" was telling me that my hair was wrong.  There was too much.  I didn't do the right hair style.  I should cut it off.  I can't say I was very thankful -- more hurt -- which I'm sure was never the intention.  I did report on December 6th that I got my hair cut along with my bangs and that I liked it -- though I was waiting to hear everyone's opinion.
