It is important to take a picture when your daughter is mortified because you wore the “wrong” colors to the SEMO versus WIU basketball games. She did not want to take the picture, but she agreed because we told her that she could either take the picture or pay for school herself. We win!
If you cannot find a receipt, gift card, Sharpie, or the Menards rebate, just look in the kitchen catch-all basket. Odds are that whatever you need is in it.
It was such a great afternoon celebrating Laura at Missouri Eagle Scout Recognition Day.
The ceremony was held in the Missouri House of Representatives chambers and speakers included Mike Kehoe, Governor of Missouri. The 825 Missouri Eagle Scouts that earned the rank in 2024 accomplished a lot, but what I found most impressive was the combined 131,000 service hours on their Eagle projects. That is a lot of giving back to your community and so many organizations will benefit for years to come.
We are so proud of our Eagle Scout. She was determined, she worked hard, and she learned to pick herself up when she stumbled.
Congratulations to all who earned the rank of Eagle in 2024, but especially Laura. We love you, Red!
