We were dressed very appropriately for the evening. In case you were wondering what I call the "Law and Order" sweater, here you go. Jim decided on a shirt and tie accompianed by his "Law and Order" sweater. When I asked Jim what he was wearing, so that I might dress appropriately to be on his arm he hadn't thought that far ahead. Others throw on a pair of Dockers and they are dressed up. As I have experienced from the past, some women go all out and get a fancy cocktail dress to wear. They definitely eat their Wheaties for breakfast being able to lift litters with bodies on them. The first item of the evening was what to wear. And this local country club has joined forces with the Ramada Inn, I knew we were in for a culinary delight. The event was held at the local country club in State College. I was more than ready to have a nice evening in return for the all lonely evenings that I spend doing homework by myself and putting the boys to bed by myself. Last night was the Spring Banquet for Centre Life Link, the EMS station that Jim volunteers so much of his time.
I will have to find another way of securing the badges to his shirt. Well half way dinner I could see the patches were not adhering as well as I would have liked them to stick. I cut the bonding material and then ironed on the patches. Being the quilting and sewing person that I am, I had some heat and bond that I thought would do the job. The fabric is so thick that it really hurts my hands to try and work the needle through the patches. Speaking of badges, I had made the decision that I was going to iron on the badges instead of hand sewing them. It was wonderful to see everyone in their uniforms, especially the older boy scouts with their collection of badges. I have attended these banquets in the past, but this was the 1st time that my son was participating. We had the Blue and Gold Banquet 2 weeks ago. They made picture frames out of wood, marshmallow shooters, leather flash light holders and a wooden basketball game type of thing that had a back board and a ball that you tried to shoot into the hoop. And some of those "crafts" that they have made have been more than just cutting paper and gluing it together. Parker enjoys going to scouts every week.
Parker has a great leader that has been in scouting for the last 30 years, so you know that he has a love for the scouting program. Parker has already received his Bobcat and Wolfe Badges. I don't know what is considered the normal rate of advancements in the cub scouts. Preston even tags along and can't wait until he is old enough to join the tiger scouts next year. Jim took responsibility of helping Parker and going with him. I was a little leery that it was just one more thing for me to do, one more place for me to have to run to. He told Parker that they would do fun crafts and learn skills. One night Jim came home and asked Parker if he wanted to join the Boy Scouts. The Cub Scouts meet just down the road at the Warriors Mark United Methodist Church.
