Cub Scouts Pinewood Derby Race 
Brent's Race Car for the Special Dad's RaceToday has been overcast and snowing most of the day. It's warmer again, so the snow is melting almost as soon as it falls. There really is no news to write about. Did a little housecleaning etc. How boring is that? I've been transcribing/typing Nancy D's old letters into Word. It re-opens the world of the past to read what we were doing 30 or 40 years ago.
Beverly sent me some photographs she's been taking, and I wanted to put a few of these on the blog today. This is a correction to what I wrote earlier today: I misunderstood what Beverly wrote to me about the race, thinking Clay was in the Pinewood Derby, but he is a lot further in Scouts and too old for it, so here is the correct info. Brent and Clay went to the cub scouts Pinewood Derby yesterday and then they had a "special Derby" for all the dads. So Brent took one of Clay's old cars and re-vamped it. He was sure he would win! But there were lots of dads with their cars who spent WAY MORE than a couple of days working on them, so they were the ones that won the race.
