Rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life!

With the holidays on us, I thought I would try my luck at a few cards, in advance.

A handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains.

I got bored while the wife was getting her hair done, so I took a walk.

I started looking up at the trees and was fascinated by the silhouettes with the plain sky behind...

So glad I keep my camera with me all the time.

Childhood is the most beautiful of all life's seasons.

When I was a young man it was a very special treat to get away from Grandma's clipper and get to go into town for a "real" haircut.

Grandpa would make it a special day. We would do lunch at the counter at Woolworths 

and then to the barber shop.

So cool to sit high in the chair with the grown men in their chairs next to me. And at the end ,the barber would put that sweet smelling stuff on

 your neck and behind your ears.

I could feel the cool air dancing around ears as Grandpa and I would

 walk back to the car.

fun in the neighborhood. winter is coming

Our neighbor behind us decided that their tall tree next to their house was a threat in the high winds...so,

DOWN SHE COMES !!
