Sunday...Tag!

My friend, Gal Friday, tagged me on her blog, so I decided to go ahead and post this.

This is what you have to do:

1. Go to the the 4th folder where you keep your pictures on your computer.

2. Post the 4th picture in the folder.

3. Explain the photo.

4. Tag 4 fellow bloggers to join in the fun!
I tag Claus, Lorraine, Claudia and April.

This picture was taken in December, 2005. My daughter was in Girl Scouts and we were taking part in a Christmas Parade hosted by the City of Allen. This is the High School marching band. This band is incredibly good and sound just wonderful! We heard them coming through the trees, before we even saw them. We were sitting in the back of the leader's husband's pick up truck when they came by. It was very chilly and lots of fun. The whole parade lasted an hour or so from when we went to the staging area to when the parade ended. I look forward to attending parades when my daughter is in the Marching band because I'll be able to say "My daughter is in that band!!"

Have to brag about the Cub Scouts

At the November Pack meeting, I challenged all the boys in the Pack to collect cans of food for a food drive to correspond with the one my company was holding. I challenged them to collect 10 cans of food per boy. One of the boys was really dedicated. Here is his dad's recounting:

My son, W really took the December Food Drive to heart
He did a lot of work, collecting a total 86 cans of food!

He started by writing a letter -- asking for assistance
He delivered the letter to 91 families throughout the Waterford neighborhood

The letter began by saying “He is proud to be a Scout”
The letter explained the reasons why he was collecting the cans of food
It told them when he would come back to pick-up the cans
The Waterford neighbors were generous

W collected 86 cans of food.
As he went through the neighborhood, he used his red rider wagon to collect the cans
It took three trips back to the house to move all of the food

W wrote a “thank you” letter
He delivered it to each family that helped in the food drive
After it was over W said, “Some needy people would have a meal because of the Scout’s efforts”

That is a great boy and he embodies the Spirit of Scouting!!
