Our New Scout ओउर न्यू स्काउट

Noah had his first pack meeting last night and had a great time. He's so excited and has so much fun with the other boys. Noah and I are totally new to all this scouting business. I'm so glad Matt knows what to do. Brian, being the only boy, was the only scout out of all my siblings and I left home about the time he was old enough. I guess we'll just throw ourselves into it and try to swim!

Mold Mitigation मोल्ड मिटिगेशन

It's taken a while but our mold problem is taken care of! SERVPRO spent several days scrubbing, scrapping, scouring and sanitizing our walls, floors, ceilings, and belongings. They even partially removed several walls. They did a great job and were very friendly and professional. Even with all the losses we were very happy to have them there. (sounds like a review!) Here's a few pictures.
