Actually, in truth I was joking around. It didn't translate to
screen. I do think I'm going to invest in a really good hat this
year. I can NOT have sun on my face any more. I burn in the shade


That Tillie hat line that someone else mentioned is really good, but I
don'tthink the brims are broad enough.. I've got several nicely
woven, broad brimmed straw hats I wear out there. I don't burn much,
but the sun on my head and in my eyes will bring on migraines
guaranteed.


I have rosacea so my face gets red even without a drop of sun. It
flares up when I do anything strenuous. I also have straw hats and
they suffice, but they stick in my skin all scratchy after a spell.

The Asian market store sells the hats Asians wear when planting rice.
They are cone shaped and I may try that. It is made of bamboo.

I hate getting old. My body is decomposingggggggggggggggg.
