Today was early release day from school. I don't remember these from when I was a kid. I'm pretty sure we went to school five days a week for 40 straight weeks back then. Kids these days have it easy...
Anyway, we hit the cub scout shop to buy a new neckerchief slide for Nick. His previous one disappeared the last time he wore his uniform to school. We've had a talk about respecting his uniform by trying not to destroy it. We'll see how it goes.
After that we did more raking. The kids actually helped with bagging.
We spent some time this afternoon visiting with our neighbor Mrs. Miller, who was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer. Mr. Miller passed away this spring from cancer. They lived in their house on our block for 55 years. Anyway, Mrs. Miller was out raking her leaves. She doesn't have the energy she used to, but she's determined to live the way she wants for as long as she can. That includes things like raking leaves. Did I mention she's around 80? It's very sad that she is sick, but she is an amazing lady.

Awesome lady to be sure.
As for the neckerchief slide, I always super squeezed the back right before we left the house. That will press in the back side and it will slide less.

Tie a knot below it, hello, you're scouts!

Talk to the scoutmaster, he's usually good for nearly every possible article of clothes needed for any event.
Buy an extra slide, that will ensure that you never lose either of them.
