Boy Scouts – Flag Ceremony
Had the opportunity for the boys to both participate in a flag pole dedication for our local church sponsor. A family had donated the installation of the flag poles, as a memorial, and the church asked for the Boy Scouts to help with the ceremony. Fairly straightforward, this is something the Boy Scouts do on…

Fortunately the drive itself is normally not that bad, although…

Cub Scout Space Derby
Enjoying our final Cub Scout event with the annual Space Derby. The boys all craft, carve, and sand a small wooden “rocket”, which is then propelled by a rubber-band propeller. Lots of fun seeing all the designs, and just how fast many of them can end up going. After this, we have a single remaining…

Winter colds

The weather here has turned cold, rainy, wet, and icy, which means seasonal illnesses are back. Both my son and I are suffering from sinus issues, with lots of coughing, sneezing, and blowing of the noses. Fortunately, this tends to be short lived, which will be nice with the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. But it still…
