Pine wood derby

Braden, Paige and Zachary made pinewood derby cars for Young men and women.  Paige and Zach decided that they wanted pre cut cars so didn't have to do so much work.

Braden made his from the normal block of wood.

 All of them turned out well but didn't win any of the races.

 Paige however did win the award for the Cutest car.

Braden also took a car that he made while in cub scouts.

November is for...

Right this minute, I am grateful for Doctors and the technology of medication.  For without it I would feel lousy, tired, sore and more...every single day.  Instead, I only have these days a few times a month or when my medication need to be increased.  Yes, I am thankful for the health that I do have.
