And the Winner Is......

It's an annual affair or rather rite of passage--The annual Cub Scout Pinewood Derby--This year for the first time the 3 males of my house had the chance to build and race their own cars against each other for the annual right to brag--

Mine are all past Cub Scout age--but the outsiders division allows boys of all ages who refuse to grow up a chance to build and race. It's only a block of wood 7" long--but mold it, sand it and take care with 4 plastic wheels and 4 nails for axles--you have a masterpiece--In this case the OscarMeyer Mobile, a lightening rod and ode to Music car--The youngest of my crew has bragging rights--the Lightening Rod was the fastest.

Now we're home--had dinner out--large sundaes for all--YUM! YUM! But the house is a disaster and it is always the case when there is a large event even out of the house--You would think everything is in order--But No! Can never figure that one out--

Now its time--not to clean--not to put away--but to curl up in warm PJ's and read a book--Tomorrow is another day.
