Fall is in the air! Colors are percolating 😊😊😊
Logan, the pest control guru, came to service our home. His company is going to also watch our home this winter. This is a new service Atomic Pest Control now offers --- vacation home monitoring.
Wednesday evening, I went to a program at church. The topic was Dr. David Jeremiah's book "The World of the End." The program consisted of a video from Dr. Jeremiah --- about one chapter in the book --- and a subsequent discussion.
Dr. Patrick Ryan --- the veterinarian in Williams --- posted a nice photo of him and his staff on Facebook.
Thursday, Preston and I went for a walk around Kaibab Lake. I think Preston is now a full fledged country dog!
That evening, Tom and I went to Dance Lessons at the Sultana Theater. We were the only couple!
On Friday, I met my friend Chris Peterson at the trailhead parking lot for Bill Williams Mountain. With her dog, the two of us hiked 2 1/2 miles up the trail. It was a beautiful day.
Saturday, Tom and I went to the Vintage Japanese Car Show along Route 66. It was a small, but nice display of a number of Japanese Classic cars.
Sunday, six of us played pickleball. It was the first time that Kelly's husband, Sivert, joined us for some play.
My next door neighbor, Jim Ramsey, had his California girlfriend visiting. Kathy brought her dog Daisy. Preston and Daisy enjoyed running up and down the fence line.
That evening, Tom and I watched an almost full moon making a presence in the sky.
The next night, the first Super Moon of the year made its debut. It was the Harvest Supermoon.
Tom's sister, Pat, and her husband Frank, shared a "good evening" photo of the two of them.
Tom and I sent our version back to them in Florida.
Tuesday, our handyman Jeremy Tadevich came to our house to attack a number of projects. He was able to adjust my walk-in closet dresser so that the drawers were once again sliding on their runners. Jeremy did some caulking in our shower, along some outdoor shale siding, and under the wine refrigerator. He also secured a post in our backyard with Amazon purchased "post-it" frames.
On Wednesday, my girlfriend Barbara Coad came to Williams for a short visit. Barbara lives in Los Angeles and she drove another one of our other girlfriends to Surprise, Arizona, to see her ailing sister-in-law. The first order of business was to introduce her to three geocaches in my neighborhood. These were special cache containers as I am the cache owner.
After lunch, we went to Bearizona. Barbara had not been to Bearizona in several years.
Each time I go to Bearizona, there is something fun to see. The grizzly bears are always special.
The mountain goats climb with grace.
And then, there are wolves and little foxes.
After our Bearizona visit, Barbara and I stopped in town at the Pooseum Shop.
The proprietor, George, has been collecting fossilized Dinosaur poop for over twenty years. While he has had an internet site since 2014, this store is his first retail outlet.
That evening, the sunset sparkled over the land.
Thursday, Barbara and I went to Flagstaff to have lunch with Paula Miller. Before our lunch date, we found a geocache at a thrift store on Fourth Street.
We then went to Little America Hotel and we had lunch with Paula.
The weather report indicated heavy rain for Arizona. Barbara was concerned about her drive to Surprise to pick up Judy Wenker. So, Barbara cut her stay with us and headed south.
But, before leaving, we had several photo opportunities.
Friday, I took a photo of our colorful maple tree.
I also took advantage of the weather by taking pine needles out of the backyard gutters.
That night, Tom and I went to the World Famous Sultana Bar to listen to live music with Brandon Shepard.
Brandon describes himself as a country western musician with attitude. Tom and I did dance one song together.
