Well.... let's not forget the many many pages of the original 'ignore' thread.
started by the original Mr. Rick Dorman. I think????
Mike z..... always nice to see you pop in here.
yup... I THINK I've read every page... probably every post, too, but always a possibility of missing some here and there.
Had to go back a page or two this evening to catch up. Talking about frogs, turtles and the weather....
ok.....
#3 is leaving at 6:45 in the MORNING from school- off to an academic program for elementary kids. Last year it was in Dallas, so it was easy. This year.... San Antonio for a night! wow! She is reciting a poem by Shel Silverstein.
I am leaving with Peter tomorrow evening to go down to Texas A&M for a special program.
He will stay with the Corps of Cadets on Friday night, and I'll be BY MYSELF in a REAL HOTEL for a whole night!! yea!!!! for $35 bucks I thought it was a good way to at least have a sampling of being in the corps.
I'll let you know how it goes.... It's all about recruiting, and their premise is that Eagle Scouts and Cadets have a lot of the same goals, personality traits, etc, and it would be a good 'match' so to speak.
btw. He received his Eagle Rank a few weeks ago. He hasn't had his ceremony yet, but at least he is officially an Eagle!!! yea!!
#2 is 'Life' (rank) and beginning ideas for his Eagle project.
He hasn't ruled out Texas Tech, or SFA (Stephen F. Austin) or Texas State.... but A&M is definitely in the pole position for now.
gotta go!
see ya'll Sunday.
