This rough-looking old homeless vagrant that rode in on a boxcar had the honor of being the first head of hair my cute little sidekick has ever cut.
She couldn't have chosen a better head for her first victim as there's not much one could do to hurt a head like that.
He said it was fine to take a few photos, but requested I try to keep his face out of the shots as he had several fugitive warrants against him; I don't think anyone will recognize him from these shots.
The style she is going for is a reverse Mohawk.
Considering what she had to work with, I think she did an excellent job; after she gets in a bit more practice, I may even let her cut my hair.
When I get a good keen edge on my Great-Granddaddy's straight razor, I am gonna let her try her hand at shaving; she's got a keen eye and a steady hand.

Elements 7 ~~~ 64-bit Windows 7

On a poverty-level Kentucky budget, a 24-exposure roll of film would have two Christmases and a summer vacation on it and we might have to wait another six months before being able to afford developing the film.
I still have trouble remembering that it doesn't cost anything to take thousands of pictures; it just almost seems impossible to be true.

I hope those are his glasses, and not hers.

When I was a dog groomer, I always cut my husband, and father's hair with my electric clippers.
Saved them a fortune in barber fees.
I notice she has her scissors, and brush, too.
Very professional.
She remembered a cape for him, too.

No matter what she is about, I always make sure she has all the tools she needs at hand.
Beside the brush, just out of the picture, is some flea & tick powder and a can of chicken mite dust.

Thanks for that; I appreciate that !

Earlier that same day, we didn't have a photographer to document it and I had my hands full helping hold the pieces; we put a new floor in the bird feeder and drilled and bolted a piece that was splitting.
I let her do all the drilling and drive all the screws, plus she hammered in a bunch of nails that had held the old floor; and, she got to use the ratchet and socket to tighten the new bolt that pulled the split together.
She didn't mash my fingers, nor run any of those needle-sharp screws through them.

Later that night, she got to check my blood pressure with the real deal where you use a stethoscope and pump it up and then release the pressure while you listen.
I thought my fingers were going to fall off before she quit pumping up that arm collar thingie; and then, she had to leave it pumped up while she asked the wife about the next step in the procedure --- me sitting there while the ends of my fingers turned black.
She finally finished and pronounced me good for another twenty years; she said something about 280 over 325; I guess that's good....

And, we watched Tangled twice and The Help four times straight through.

I really don't know; I just thought it was what extremely intelligent kids do; we have watched the original Grinch so many times that I have it memorized.
