For Father's day this year, I made a photo album for my Dad. It included photos of him from his childhood, and into adulthood, as well as lots of family photos.
One photo was of Dad in his scouting uniform. I tried to upload that photo here, but was not successful. At any rate the point of the story is to talk about Dad and scouting.
As the town we grew up in was very small, there were few opportunities for young people. Boy scouts was about the only thing in town. My brother was in scouts, and Dad was the scoutmaster. How I longed to be a boy so I could be in scouts, too.
I remember how they were able to go off on scouting jamborees. They went to scout camp. And, best of all, they went all the way to New Mexico! How I longed to travel, even back then. To get to go to Philmont...Wow. I was just in awe, and very jealous.
But, now I'd like to direct you to my brother's site. He shared a story about Dad, cooking, and scouting that I had never heard. I'm just amazed that I never heard this one before. Dad loves talking about his past, and for me to miss a story.... Of course, since this one is about Dad cooking, he may have been hiding that one. He may not have wanted to let on that he could cook in the first place.
So travel with me now to www.tgraypots.blogspot.com and get the story.
