We are just home from the traditional Scout Pancake Breakfast. Someone asked when that started. We figured it was when Jason was a wee scout of 13 so that has been 14 years from that humble beginning when Dad was the Scoutmaster.
Great photoshopping. I never knew I had such a patriotic family. I tear up just thinking about America. This picture made me cry for hours. Oh Beautiful for spacious skies...That our flag was still there.....God Bless America... sung with my right hand over my left heart.
Marybeth, my wonderful beautiful wife was my scribe for the previous comment and she went way over board and didn't really listen to anything I said, I only cried for a few minutes, and my hand was not over my heart, I was saluting.
P.S. All jokes aside it is a great picture, now we can take family pictures and then make them be from where ever we want, Mount Rushmore? no problem. I am happy to live in this great country.
P.P.S. I bet there wasn't anyone playing the trumpet at this breakfast
What a great tradition, started by a great scout master. I wonder how the lives of the Monrovian ward members would be different if the Cornwall family had decided to move elsewhere instead of remodel an old Victorian house (the now beautiful Cornwall homestead). I think it would be very interesting if we had an opportunity to pull a George Bailey from "A Wonderful Life" and see the difference.
Thanks for being such a great example of being leaven both in your ward and community.
I also want to say thanks for being so Patriotic (Especially Robbie!). I am so grateful for the the freedoms and the symbols of our freedom.
Katie: Mom and I were just reminiscing about those great potatoes. It was the thick bacon grease that they were cooked in. (Rachel just said "yuck".) Owen-bytheway, it was Dave Harvey that gets the credit for the dutch oven pot cooked scout breakfasts.

I think I remember that first breakfast with Jason playing the trumpet, and I loved the John Phelan years with those yummy potatoes.

ReplyDeleteRobb: Thanks for your very patriotic sentiments.
