The Weekend

* Alyssa and I started the college shopping yesterday. We bought all her bedding supplies yesterday at Bed, Bath & Beyond. It almost didn't happen, though. Apparently all college beds are XL's and XL sheets are not very plentiful. The woman at BB&B informed us that their college sales begin the beginning of July. That's a problem for us, with Alyssa needing to be at PSU on July 1st! Fortunately, they had clearance items leftover from this past summer, plus we got terrific bargains on everything!

* Adam's Scout Court of Honor was last evening. After a Mexican dinner, the scouts played a few games, then received the badges they had earned since the last Court of Honor which was in July.





* This afternoon, Kurt left for a week in Denmark and my mom, Adam, a buddy of his and I took a trip up to Bear Creek Camp near Wilkes Barre, PA. Just as we were arriving, it began snowing; by the time we left, it was like a blizzard. About five miles down the turnpike it stopped and you would have never known it had been snowing!! BCC is the Lutheran church camp and if each Lutheran church appoints a representative, known as an Ambassador, to attend a meeting once a year, each child from their church who attends camp in the summer receives a $10 discount on their week at camp. I have served as the Ambassador for the last five years. Your responsibility as Ambassador is to be the liason between the camp and the church and to keep the church up to date on all the activities of the camp.
