Belated Thanksgivings
Saturday 24th of November 2007 07:41:19 PMWell this lovely long weekend is almost over. And once again, I feel like I could use another weekend to recover from this weekend. We did not have much planned, but as usual, things came up. Today our Scout Troop did the Free Hot Dogs at RC Willey. If you ever wondered who did that, now you know, we do. It was not too busy tho considering it was the after Thanksgiving weekend. The kids give out free hot dogs to whoever shops at this very big furniture store. I also do notice a lot of repeat people. Its kinda sad, cuz it is very obvious they are homeless/street people, and this is their main meal for the day. With our Scout group, we have to do at least 6 hours volunteer services to Rank Advance. So I was thinking maybe we can do something along those lines; homeless people, etc. I came very close to being homeless as well when my X decided to split. I had no where to go, and had a 6 month old baby. Luckily I made ammends w/my family and they took me back. It was a scary time in my life that I will never forget. We have SO very much to be thankful for. Not a day goes by when I thank the roof over my head, the food in my stomach and the great family I have. I am truely blessed w/many good friends as well. The size of my house, the type of my car, and the ‘junk’ we all have collected means nothing without our Heath, Family and Friends. I am so lucky. Thank you to all my friends and family for being who you are. I love you all very much.

That’s very touching to know those people are getting food, even if that’s not exactly who your troop intended their hot dogs to go to! As a Girl Scout Troop leader I took our troop out to one of the many national preserves and they did plantings and seed pulling one Fall. They had a really good time doing that work. We always wanted to do something with a shelter as well, but then we moved and are currently not part of any troop. I do love what the boy and girl scouts stand for and all the help they provide in communities.

I was a Girl Scout and my Mom a leader, lots of good memories. I think its a great group as well. Teaches the kids about others not as good off as we are. We are sooo lucky. Thanks for your comment Lynne.

My brother was a boy scout and my mom was a den mother, which made me a boy scout too! I tried the girl scouts, but it wasn’t as much fun.
Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

We have a couple girls that are boy scouts too! They are pretty tough, more than some of the boys even. Its a good Troop. Wednesday is the Court of Honor, only 3 boys are advancing, mine is one. HA !
