I"ve Got a New Red Coat...

Bill Cantos!

"...Took everything I owned and sold it - that's how much this coat is worth...
... one arm then the other... Suddenly every care I had in the world was gone... I started dancing.... spinning around and around..."

Just a few words from the song...

I LOVE this song! It always gets me spinning around too.

I even had the pleasure & honor of meeting Bill one day at KSBR in Mission Viejo.

I've GOT a NEW RED COAT.

"Turkey Day"

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am the only one in my house awake (except for the dog) right now and it is 8am!
Listening to DJ on KSBR ON the computer. Saturday: "A Whole 'Nuther Thing" Bob Goodman's annual Harry Chapin show. wonder WHERE my HArry Chapin CD got off to this time.

Dog has been "banished". He seems to think he must be on my lap - always - but, he's just enought too big that he can't get comfortable in my lap and then jumps to the chair next to me. Still feeling the need to be WITH me he paws at me making it nearly impossible to type or use the mouse. THIS gets him "banished" to the other side of the closed door. SO - he lays in the hallway waiting for me...

Girl Scout Ages

OK - so here's the answers to Foxhound's question of the other night.

Daisy Girl Scouts (GS) Ages 5 and 6 K-Grade 1
Brownie GS Ages 6 to 8 Grades 1 - 3
Junior GS * Ages 8 to 11 Grades 3 - 6
Girl Scouts 11 - 13 Grades 6 - 8 "?? Old Juniors - Young Cadettes"
Girl Scouts 13 - 15 Grades 8 - 10 "Cadettes"
Girl Scouts 15 - 17 Grades 10 - 12 "Seniors"

JUNIORS are sometimes refered to as "Girl Scouts" and nothing else... often by people familiar with "Boy Scouts" ALL of the above listed age ranges and levels are GIRL SCOUTS - even the little "Daisy GIRL SCOUTS" ALL of them.

Foxhound was trying to figure out who's where in our new troop and how many "Brownie Scouts" we have. I believe that answer is "one". A "Bunch" of Daisies (LOL) and a few Juniors.

Anyway - had I told her that Brownies are "7" then a week from now when I would tell her that they can be "6 - 8" - she tell me "you lied to me" - thus the "don't carve it in stone" that I told her earlier this week.

It can be a bit confusing with the overlaps... it is how Foxhound is a second (or third??) year Junior THIS year. heck - even I am confused.

IT'S FRIDAY!!

Foxhound & Flashlights

It gets too dark too soon! Foxhound is now mad at me... Flashlight in someones eye that was walking in the other direction and I told her... "don't shine it in peoples eyes" Then on the way home (we baled on the other two caches RIGHT near here) she asked me a question that I was unsure of the answer. I told her I wasn't sure so don't lock it in stone... then she starts saying "never mind then" . Fine. I tell her to stop talking and that I would too.

She just keeps on and on pushing and pushing.
I wonder... does she act like this at school?? Is THIS how she "gets into trouble" there???

What is this Blog Stuff?

Came here because of our Church Pastor's BlogSite.

was reading something about "On Beyond Zebra" and "having it all together" and "Change".

not sure what to do here.

Foxhound got me to be a leader for her NEW Junior Troop. I feel like I don't know wht I am doing even though I was Girl Scout for years and have watched her former troop nearly EVERY meeting.
Stay tuned...
