Just want to send Kudos to my son, Dylan. He had his Eagle Board Of Review this past Saturday and is now officially an Eagle Scout!! We are so very proud of him! We will have his Eagle Court of Honor either in December or January, depending on when all the certificates come in.
For his project he and many other volunteers built raised flower beds in a courtyard of a local nursing home. This really made the courtyard look nice, but also enables the residents who have trouble bending or are in wheelchairs the ability to work in the beds. This is something many of them still love to do, but are not able. It was a big project, but went wonderfully.
We are so proud of you Dylan!

A lesson learned...double check to make sure you have your bowl pushed in all the way on your grain grinder before leaving the kitchen to do other chores...it could get bad.

Dylan loves his long hair. I don't know whether it is because it fits the "guitar playing dude" that he is, or that he is hanging on to his hair as long as he can because he fears his Dad's fate...baldness. Either way, he really likes his long red hair. However, me...not so much. I like his hair neatly short so I can see those beautiful blue eyes. However, he is 16 and it is his hair and I try to respect his choices. So I smiled and kept my mouth closed (well most of the time.) My only rule is that it must be clean and neat. However, as a sweet Mother's Day gift my precious son sacrificed his beloved long red hair. Part of me was sad because he changed something he loved for me...and then part of me was so touched because he loved me that much and made that sacrifice. Of course when I came around the corner and saw him for the first time after his haircut I cried. It was a precious gift, but like he says...it grows back.
