Last night was one of those evenings when we get marvelous, "drop-dead"
gorgeous sunsets. I hadn't used my camera for a while, and the battery would not respond after three pics, so that is how many there are. I charged the batteries over night and I am able to down load the photos tonight.
You can judge the photos for your self. I quite like them.

You can judge the photos for your self. I quite like them. Thursday I went to the dermatologist for the treatment I get every six months. He used liquid nitrogen on my face, hands and the top of my head. He also removed two spots from my face and forehead with a scalpel to send them in for biopsy. I haven't received the results yet. Clarine is still preparing to have her ankle reconstructed on 5 November. We have a port-a-potty, wheel chair and walker all ready to use. We nixed the use of crutches, because they seemed to create an accident going somewhere to happen. Anyway Clarine has been practicing with these new implements and also how to get up and down the stairs on her knees and sliding on her butt, because her foot will be in a cast for six weeks and then for six more weeks she will have a special boot to wear. She has taken a leave of absence from the temple for three months. Today was my first day to go without her. It is certainly different.
Since Halloween falls on Sunday, Clarine is down stairs handing out the largess - cupcakes or twinkies and a can of soda. She is building a reputation that may be hard to maintain if "hard times" really set in.
I mowed the lawn for the last time this year on Friday. Then I winterized the mower. I don't know why as I think it is fully depreciated due to gas leaking out of the tank, and I will have to buy another. The paddle boats are out of the water, the cushions off the lounges and the sprinkling system has been shut off. I also refurbished the outdoor wood burner that I keep out on the dock. I installed a new gate on the ash accumulation area of the outdoor fire container to keep hot coals from falling out on the wooden pier. I fashioned the new gate out of an old license plate. I am pleased that my rehabilitation has progressed to the point where I can do some things that I wondered if I would ever be able to do them again. Any way after, lo, these eight months , I am beginning to see a little dexterity returning to these old limbs. (That is counting from the latter part of February when I took the spill and had to rehabilitate my knee.) gwh
