Yes, Dad...I finally mowed the lawn

I mowed a lawn for the first time in my life. Sounds quite pathetic after existing 30 years. I am only slightly embarrassed to admit it, mostly I am just proud to have evaded this daunting assignment...with 3 other brothers, there was always someone else to do the job.

My first attempt resulted in a 2nd degree burn after touching the engine with the back of my hand. One good benefits to working at a hospital is free doctor consultations if you have an "in." A tetanus shot and silvadene cream is helping this heal nicely. Watching my flesh melt was a good intro to the Halloween month!

My New Hat

Mud Bogging

A new item to add to the bucket list...be in one of these races!

Friday the 13th

Watcher in the Woods, I forgot how freaky this movie is! I should never have agreed to watch this with someone who loves to tease...ahhhhhhhhhh!

Havasupai Hike

Beautiful!

Where's Waldo? This is the valley of vines.

Mooney Falls

I was not expecting this, but that is how Wayne rolls.

We mostly hiked through the water. I elected to take the trail a few times to keep the camera dry.


Havasu Falls. We hiked to an old mine, hence the headlamp. Wayne actually ventured through a few mine shafts...danger, danger!

This was our group. They were all our single friends who welcomed an old married couple on the trail :)

This is the new falls the 2008 flood brought. Oddly, 24 hrs after our departure, the whole terrain was again flooded out and campers had to be evacuated.
