Jeff Wolfe aka Eagle Scout!

Jeff & Brady received their Eagle rank in the Boy Scout of American on March 31st at the Grange Hall where they both did their Eagle projects. It was a fun night. Thank you to Paisley, Mara, Linda, Vanita, Ben, Dan, Sherwood, Delbert, Doug, Jackie & Jenn for helping out so much. Having great people in Jeff's life is how he got here in the first place.

What is Scary to Jack?

Jack came to me and asked if I wanted to see something really scary. I asked him what and was especially concerned after seeing what he was holding, Ben's Gun & Ammo magazine. He flipped it over and showed me this....a Grandma shooting a gun. Really scary! Made me laugh. Notice his green nail polish Hannah painted on him for St Patricks Day. Image
