ONE MORE TIME

This is my new look. I found a lump in my beard and had to shave. As it turned out I was right it is more of the skin cancer I have been plagued with the last few years. It is treatable and I am working on it as well as the new ones that showed up on my nose. It is a simple thing just put some cream on it and the cancer goes away. No surgery or radiation. The cream is at no cost as it is covered by my insurance. Mary says that I look younger with out the beard. Life was simpler with the beard. I had to buy a razor and shave at least once a day now.
This is Mary's home in Yuma. It is a nice two bedroom "Park Model" in a gated community. Called Sun Vista "Where the Fun Never Sets". It is a very busy place.

This is the street we live on. It is "Katherine Hepburn" all the streets are named after movie stars. Female stars N & S. Male stars E & W. The street that is reserved for pet owners is... you guessed it "Lassie.


This is a photo of my date for the Halloween dance. We didn't have costumes for this dance.



Sunset for the dance. The Halloween dance was the day before Halloween so members could go to other functions on Halloween.

Some of the members did go in costume. Note the red eyes on Death Angle.


This is a "Verdon" a small bird that visits our humming bird feeder. It announces its coming with a long series of short chirps and sounds like a humming bird.



While in Albuquerque we took a ride on the worlds longest Tram. It is a mile between two of the towers.


Here the tram is coming to the top. Note there is a guy on top of the tram. It is shift changing time and they needed the space inside for paying customers so the help rides on top, with a safety harness in good weather. The weather would never be good enough for me to ride on top.

From the top of the tram we took a chair lift down the back side to a ski lodge for a soda .



The view from the chair lift was great. Completely open.


The Aspen were just starting to turn here.



The first tower from the top looking down.



After Mary had her eye surgery we went to New Mexico for the Balloon Festival. A fish and a pig.



There were so many different styles. These are two of the three bumble bees.



A small group that launched at about the same time.



A Tweety Bird.
Mary wanted to take Delaney Shopping. So we went to the Castle Rock Mall to find ??? Delaney dressed like a teenager for the trip.



The two of them looked at every thing in the mall.




The only thing she found was a T shirt and this pair of Keds in her school color. They didn't have high tops, but she was happy with the low ones.



After shopping we went to the high school foot ball game. The home team won 50+ 0 after the third quarter they put in the mercy rule and let the clock run in the fourth.



While we were in Colorado Mary took me into the Rockies the colors and this is the entrance to the Eisenhower tunnel.



The Aspen were gorges in their bright yellow leaves.




They made a bright color line in the pines and dead trees.
