Good morning folks
It was a chilly 25 F as I headed off to the office this morning. High today will be 49 F with rain coming. We had a wild Friday with snow off and on most of the day. Where I live a few miles to the west there was 4 inches while in Philadelphia there was less than an inch. We probably had about 2 inches on the grass. Roads were slick. My wife got stuck several times in mile long back- ups on her way to work. I was home sick with the last (I hope) gasp of this cold virus I have been fighting for weeks. Today is the best I have felt in about three weeks.
We had a busy weekend. On Friday night we had our Cub Scout Pack Overnighter at the Ashland Nature Center in Hockessin, De. Getting there was a treat with the snow falling Friday evening and dealing with Friday rush hour/snow panic traffic. Once there we had a great time. The scouts did a night hike. They saw a tortoise and a terrapin. The theme of our program was Lenape Indians. They heard Native American stories, made clay pots, dressed like Lenape, and played Lenape games. They did a morning a nature hike.
We spent Sunday working on my son’s school project. He is making a diorama of the room in Independence Hall where the Constitution was drafted and signed. In Social Studies they are studying the American Revolution and the Constitution. In January he will be visiting the Constitution Center.
I did run some trains. I put away a bunch of stuff that had collected on the layout. I cleaned off the workbench and looked over the “pile” and began to contemplate the next project.
This afternoon we have parent teacher conferences for both kids.
I hope everybody has a good day.
