Going Through Life One Post at a Time
It was Scout Sunday to church today. I always enjoy this particular service as Troop 706 Scouts act as assisting ministers. This is just one of many ways that the troop acts in service to St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church, which has been their charter organization for over 50 years.
Laura went to the SEMO gymnastics meet this evening to get one of the Rowdy Bobblehead dolls. Rowdy is the SEMO mascot, and he is turning 20 this year. To celebrate, SEMO is giving away Rowdy Bobbleheads for the different sports. So far, Laura has collected the one for football and the one for gymnastics. She should get the one for basketball tomorrow.
Andy and I went to Flat Branch Pub and Brewing to try a new beer – High Mileage Imperial Stout. It was quite tasty, and it was an hour out with my husband. It was a great way to wrap up a long work day.
Freezer February preparation is done! My list of things to purchase and prepare is ready, and the 8 X 8 pans for the casseroles arrived today. It will be a busy food prep month!
I realized this morning that two of my employees had a miscommunication regarding an approval I gave to purchase materials. The miscommunication led to a $60,000 mistake that I am ultimately responsible for as director. I spent the day working to fix the error. Most of the time, I really love my job, but it is days like today that just really suck.
The Troop 706 Winter Court of Honor was this evening. John earned service hour beads, the Personal Fitness merit badge, and the Life rank.
The Life rank is the last rank before Eagle. While John is not sure that he will work towards Eagle, he does seem more motivated to finish the required merit badges. He still has nearly 18 months to finish should he choose to do it.
Congratulations to John and the other members of his patrol! It is so hard to believe that these boys are now the “older scouts.”
