Tri-M Christmas Caroling

Laura is part of Tri-M, which is a music honor society. As part of their service hours, they did Christmas caroling at the Columbia Mall this evening.

They played for about an hour. It was a lot of fun watching them sight read lots of Christmas carols. Laura had a great time!

The kids also got to visit with Santa. While it was only an hour of time, it was definitely an experience that Laura will not forget.

Eagle Project Work Weekend

After two days of hard work with many volunteers from Scout Troops 523 and 706, Laura’s Eagle Scout project is framed and nearly ready to begin placing all the ambulance parts inside. The beneficiary of this project is MU’s EMS Education, and this will help to train so many EMTs in the coming years. An ambulance trainer in an indoor environment ensures that training can happen year-round.

I am so proud of this kid for her perseverance! It is so hard to make the rank of Eagle when you are a Senior, but she started her scouting experience about two years ago and has not looked back. I have no doubt that we will soon be celebrating another Eagle Scout in Troop 523. Fly high, Laura! You got this.

Christmas Cards

When you wake up at 5:00 am because the cat is purring so loudly that you cannot sleep anymore, you get out of bed. Then, you look for things to do. Well, the Christmas cards need to be stuffed, labeled, stamped,…

…and mailed! It is time to cross another Christmastime task off my list!
