Mason is my hero. He has been a chronic allergy sufferer for most of his life and years ago he received allergy shots. Then one day, he strongly voiced a preference to stop and to just rely on oral medications for relief. Lately, the allergies have seemed to be annoying enough that he acquiesced to […]
Look who got a little press? Although Bill knew he was chosen, he let us discover it for ourselves when he brought home the Sunday paper. Every year the Courier & Press invites the community to vote for its favorites under the categories of Shopping, Eats, Drinks & Entertainment and Services, Places & Faces. Over […]
Bill loves cars. He loves old cars and he loves cars that have been restored and modified. That’s why it was no surprise when Bill said he was going to go to Frog Follies, the annual street rod festival held here in Evansville. He had the opportunity to wander alone and that was right up […]
Court was in session today. The Court of Honor, that is. We had many awards and rank advancements. Before beginning the court of honor, the scouts grill burgers and hot dogs for the families. After lunch Walker, the senior patrol leader, led the court of honor. He called up Zack to advanced the color guard […]
Our troop’s activities include camping once a month. The leaders decided that they would kick off the year with an overnight at our scout house. This would give the boys, especially the newest ones, an opportunity to work on basic skills and get them signed off before our court of honor next weekend. We do […]

Lodge week kicked off for Mason last Sunday. He stayed in Brebeuf in the Boxer cabin. We spotted Mason on Bunk 1 really hamming it up when he knew the camera was on him. Carrying the water baby on the all day hike with Will Playing games with Bella and others at Kane Lake Chilling […]
We planned a field trip for Mason today. He asked it to be a surprise except for a few clues along the way. Bill gave him two: Drive, then drive, then drive. One more than J. When we got off the freeway in Indianapolis at the same off ramp as IKEA, Mason thought we might […]
Our day started off very early at the Evansville Airport where we dropped off Walker to catch his first flight with a final destination of Costa Rica. His travels today would take him from EVV to Dallas to Miami to San Jose, Costa Rica. Having TSA pre-check meant that he had literally no time in […]
Gramma and Papa picked up Mason on Friday and they headed off to their new house in Orange County. Thanks to group efforts, I was able to capture these highlights from the week: Saturday, July 14, 2018 Having breakfast with Auntie Laynie and Sophia Watching a Young Sheldon marathon as well as Hotel Transylvania Attending […]
