MY NEW OLD LIFE

Here’s a hint….
DSCF3035
Since it is REDNESDAY at It's a Very Cherry World I thought I would share some old and new REDS.(and blues and greens.)
28 years ago this happened…

See the RED eyes and patches. Then 4 years later, this happened to him…

Ahhh, lots of RED.  This happened at the same time…

And in between, these two happened…

I couldn’t find pictures of them in their uniforms but this suits them better anyway and there is RED in this picture.
They were faithful SCOUTS…

See the “Boys Life” magazine. Josh’s shirt used to be RED. (Note the bottle between the cushions. The youngest “scout” must have been sleeping.)
Then… 16 years ago, this happened…

RED beads and patches.
Now they are all grown and gone with little “scouts” of their own and now it’s my turn.
Yup, you guessed it. I am the new WEBELOS leader in our ward and I will be wearing lots of RED

Not exactly cute. Lets fix it…

Ahhhh, much better. It’s been 13 years since I’ve had a Webelo around so now I get to start all over again.
Wish me luck.

HAPPY GREEN REDNESDAY

Ahhh the wearin o’ the GREEN and sharin o’ the RED…
Do you ever do weird things to your kid? This poor little guy didn’t have a chance. He was born the last of 7 kids and quite a bit later than all the others so not only did he have to put up with all his older brothers and sisters doing things to him, he had to put up with a mother who now had more time to do “fun” things.
20 years ago, GREEN kid with RED spots (chicken pox)

(I started dyeing his hands and ears green for St. Patrick’s day when he started pre-school and we did it every year. He was such a cute little elf-like kid that I just couldn’t resist.)
