Eagle Scout Award Program

Preston and Janette Black invited us to their two oldest sons’ Eagle Scout Award program. (Skyler and Hunter). We’d never been to an award program like this before and it was so impressive. There were sixteen scouts getting the award – ALL FROM ONE WARD! Is that amazing or not??? Then there were a dozen or so younger scouts helping to post the colors . Anyone in the audience who had earned this award during their lifetime were invited to come on stage and sit in a semi-circle around the “Eagle’s Nest” to welcome the new Eagle Scouts as they joined them. We were impressed and hope to see Max and Joseph get their awards next year. Awesome!

Happy News

Don had a new C-Scan and they couldn't see any cancer. Is that amazing? Another C Scan in 3 months to take another look.

Dear March

This morning it seemed like Christmas! You, Miss March,had covered the ground with snow and ice-frosted the trees! Memories of Thanksgiving and Christmas flashed thru my mind -- family, laughter, warmth, joy, aroma of turkey roasting and the taste of caramel and honey candies. That wisp of memory! Tomorrow your white wonderland will fade and whimper away with melted tears and Ill be glad. You were teasing us again..
Bring on your warmer side. We're ready for spring. Refresh the earth. The shy tulip bulbs peaking out yesterday, hesitant, will burst thru the ground; trees will bloom and the sweet smell of blossoms will fill the air. Earth will rejoice. See Persephone and her mother embrace? Spring will warm the earth; young lovers will kiss; the old couple will walk hand in hand unafraid of slippry sidewalks and the children will run and shout! Away with the snow, Miss March. We are ready for robins.
