Mowing the Lawn

I guess 9 going on 10 is old enough to start earning some money by mowing the lawn in the summer.
Roger has decided to pass the lawn mowing torch to Devin this year. Here's hoping (praying) we don't have accidents or injuries to any body parts. One chopped hand is enough for the family!!!

Remember this? These are pictures of Roger's hand after a very bad accident at work when he got cut by a large saw blade...Before:

After:
He almost lost his right index finger in the accident. The saw blade had cut clear through the bones to the palm side of his finger. In fact the surgeon asked Roger if he really wanted to keep the finger because he (the surgeon) was in favor of amputating it. Roger said, "Yes, please do everything you can to save it." After a very long 4 hour surgery, inserting many pins, screws and a metal plate, the finger was saved. Roger doesn't have much use with that finger now. He can move it up and down, but he can't bend it at all, even to grasp a pen or pencil when he writes. Still, I think he's glad to have it no matter what it looks like. It just does something for your psychie, you know?!
