Give Away Winner and Summer Fun Celebration

It took me a bit to recover from helping the Scouts and Veterans plant the gardens...photos soon...and luckily we did not have any rain!!

I think it was a good thing for the Scouts to interact with the Veterans.

We were able to have one of them tell us about his WWII story.

Of course I was intrigued to say the least.

We are loosing these folks quick and with them goes their stories.

Also this week we could hear a rumble in the sky and over our house flies a B-17.

My son and I lost our minds!!  

We will have to go up to the secondary airport to see it today!!

OK, now for the winner of the giveaway.

I had my son pull a name out of a bowl.

A Give Away and an Eagle Scout Project

We have been busy here getting ready to help my son do his Eagle Scout Project.

Loads of paperwork, contacting people, arranging for supplies and tools, arranging times, the list goes on and on.  Tomorrow we will head to the Utah Veteran's Nursing Home and start working in their garden beds and getting them ready to plant.  Then the following week we will go back up and help the residents plant their plants.  I think it is a good thing for the folks up there to have something to do and show for it.

Good for the Scouts to help them out too.

With all this going on I did not want to forget my New Years resolution of trying to keep Christmas in my heart this whole year.

In honor of the Scouting project I will be having a giveaway of  this boy looking Santa ornament.

(It kinda reminds me of my son.  He too wears his heart on his sleeve--luckily not on his beard yet.)
