left: My 6 y/o grandson graduated today from kindergarten with only half of his baby teeth left.
right: Trees growing on slopes are difficult to prune and to maintain, so I cut them. Look at the stump in the center of the
picture. When I cut that one, I rolled down the slope and hit the rocks. At 89, maybe I should let professionals do this work.
At 72, my wife just retired from her teaching job. I bought her the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid on the left as retire present. Now I hope
she will dedicate her life to maintaining her extensive flower and vegetable gardens which are in need of some attention.
left: I covered the ground wasp nest in the center several times with sand. The first time, I got stung 4 times; today I didn't even see one.
right: Squirrels damaged our drip irrigation hoses by chewing on them. They even dug into our chicken coop to steal chicken food. I had
enough and set up traps. I immediately caught two adults and three juveniles that I release a mile away in the wilderness. The 2008 Toyota
Yaris car on the right belongs to my older daughter who has been working in China since 2011. In July she will come home permanently
to study fulltime for her M.A. degree. She also wants to become a teacher like her parents, while my younger daughter became a RN nurse.
