It's All Good

So many good things have happened of late. Let me tell you about a few.


A very large Cub Scout Academic Fair, put on by 10 Stakes and Community Packs, was a huge success! I had been stressing and worrying about this for a lot of months. When show time came, I was so utterly relieved at the competence and ease with which the volunteers from our Stake carried out their responsibilities. I cannot say enough good things about these wonderful people. Our Stake's job was to man 7 stations where Cubscouts could learn about maps and compasses and earn belt loops and pins. Well, let me tell you - our Stake was fantastic! There were 420 little boys, age 7 through 10, that were present that day and I think our crew saw a majority of them!! They could pick which subjects they wanted to earn belt loops and pins in (there were 10 subjects offered) and we were busy the entire time - a constant stream of boys for 3 hours. The icing on the cake for our booth was the compass course. After they learned about compasses and maps, they were given a course to follow with their compass. The boys really had fun with that! It was a great day and I was grateful for the 8 wonderful people who gave of their time and talents to help so many little boys.





Another good thing is that Kendal's regular babysitter went out of town for a while. This gave me the opportunity to spend some one-on-one time with my cutie pie! She is such a little doll!! Here's the documentation to prove it!










Intermingled with all the meetings, events, obligations, etc. came the opportunity to head out of the valley and the heat for a few short days. Since Dave got drawn for deer hunting in Kaibab, we headed up to the "lodge" to make sure his gun was going to hit the mark. I think it will do just fine, don't you? Dave is such a good marksman!









It was nice to spend a couple of days hanging out with my sisters (in-law, but that's just getting nit-picky!). Nobody had to run off to a meeting, a doctor's appointment, to babysit - we could just enjoy each other's company. (Well, that and watch Dancing with the Stars and Castle. Hey, it was premiere night - we all have our vices.) We don't do that enough, in my opinion. Enjoy each other's company - not the TV watching thing.


It has been a good month so far. More good things are still on the agenda!!
