Yesterday I was prepping the golf cart for the parade and was walking out of the garage and my old, worn crock hit something wet, and I slipped. I mostly caught my fall with my wrist (scratched my palm), but I also hit my shin and got a little scratch (very minor you can’t even […]
My oldest is Star Rank in scouts so we decided he needs to knock out some Eagle required merit badges this summer. To go from Star to Life rank, you go from 4 Eagle required merit badges to 7. I want him to get to Life because Eagle is by far the hardest to accomplish, […]
