What does an Eagle Scout look like?



From This to This in Eight Short Years.


Our oldest Grandson received his Eagle Scout award last Sunday night. Congratulations!!! We are so proud of Vance and the great young man that he is becoming. He is such a good example for all his family and friends to look up to. Can't believe that in 3 short years he will be on a mission. Vance we are so proud of you. And it goes without saying that he didn't do it all by himself. So Congratulations to Ben and Stacy and all those scout leaders who put up with him all those years, and stuck with it till it was done. Well Done!

IT'S OFFICIAL


How do you like the new look on Dad's car? He say's he won't use it all the time, but some days it will be of great value. I think that he has earned it. Now if we can only get his lights fixed.

Waitin' On A Woman......



WHAT A GUY
I was in a car yesterday, waiting in a drive through line and I heard the "NEATEST" Song. You all have probably heard it before, but I hadn't. It is called Waitin' On A Women" by Brad Paisleyand I have to dedicate the song to my husband. Not that we are ever REALLY late, but he is always ready to go places before I am. I think that this is something that happens in everyones life. I have always appreciated that my husband would go shopping with me, and even hold my purse. There have been many times that I would find him sitting in the front of the store, waiting for me. Reminds me of when we would make my dad go to the store with us, and after he had done a few laps around the store for exercise we would find him in the front sitting and talking to whom ever was sitting beside him, usually another man. I have been very fortunate to have shared the last 40 years with this man, even though we don't have very much in common. The end of the song took a tug at my heart when it talks about him dying and going first, cuz she won't be ready. But he says, I'll take a chair, and wait for her, and be there when she's ready. How lucky can a girl get? I LOVE THAT MAN
