John attended his last Scout meeting tonight as he will age out of Scouts in July when he turns 18. He spent his time meeting with Mr. Savage to sign off more requirements for his last two merit badges on his path to Eagle. It is hard to believe that this was the last because he has been in Scouting since he was in First Grade.


My home office is complete as everything is now back in place. The new sofa bed really stands out now.

This is my desk area.

This is looking at the closet door and window area.

What I love most is that everything pops now – especially these paintings from the kids.

I love the blue so much. My office is complete!
Andy did all the trim work and edging.

I did all the rolling.

By the end of the day, the painter’s tape had been removed, all the outlet and light switch covers had been put back, and the furniture was in place.

Tomorrow, I will rehang everything and my home office will be complete!
I spent part of the evening taking down all the pictures and then taping the trim and doors in my home office. We paint tomorrow!

We attended the closing for Camp Redhawk and discovered that John’s “nest” placed first in the competition.

John said that Camp Redhawk “wasn’t bad”, and he was more excited about attending SEMO in the fall. That is really all we can ask! After picking up John, we then went to Jack’s house to join his family for a tasty lunch. After that, we left for home with a very tired John in tow. It did not take him long to fall asleep though I was not expecting to find him sleeping like this.

I will call our short vacation a success!
