Bill Homer's 70th Birthday

Mom, Dennis & I attended Bill Homer's 70th Birthday Party on September 30. Bill is married to Joanne, who works in our office. It was a really nice party.

Doc

 Joyce and I were going down the trail in Laguna and we had to go through a gravity gate, which is a swing gate with a bar at the bottom, elevated about a foot or so. Doc wouldn't go. Mind you, he has been through plenty of gravity gates, but he didn't want to go through this one. Probably he thought he would bump his legs or something. I don't know, except he sometimes gets something in his head and then there we go.

Here are some photos of Betsy taking Doc over some small jumps to give him confidence. After a few lessons like this, he finally went through the same gate when we went on the trail again.

Rain

The last time I took a walk on the trail I took this photo of the creek full of water.
