Okay, I'm overdue to add to add the story to these pictures... Last Sunday there was a benefit dinner and auction for some friends of ours who lost their house to a fire. It was a very successful event and lots of fun to see the community of Harwood come together to help this family.
One of the highlights for me, though, was when my dad got his haircut by Chris (who's house burned down). About 2 1/2 years ago when dad retired from the military he started growing his hair long. In my opinion it never really suited him and he's taken his fair share of teasing from friends and family. So at one point during the benefit somebody asked what it would take to get him to cut off the ponytail, "$500" he replied (and probably thought nothing of it). But we decided to hold him to his word! One of the auction items was a bear that dad chainsaw-carved, after it sold, the auctioneer asked dad to stand up and he announced that dad would cut his hair if we raised $500. It only took about 15 minutes of passing a hat around to reach our goal!
