Tennis & Gardening

Carson has talked about playing on the Githens Middle School tennis team for months. In late February the coach finally gave details about the team. Carson attended the pre meeetings and made the team. He practices after school each day with the team0- they have had 3 matches so far! His serve is getting much better each week. The team still has about 5 matches to play before the season ends. Carson practices hard and wants to get better each match. Now if he could just have the same level of committment for his piano lessons and practicing his parent would be very happy.


One of the nice things about having a Boy Scout in the family is his requirement to help with some family and service projects. Carson volunteered to help with landscaping the flower bed near the front door. On the right is a before picture. Carson was very enthusiastic with the rake! Doug and Carson planted several flowers and bushes. The final picture shows the completed project. Now Carson will have the task of keeping the area weed free! I think this deserves a Merit Badge of it's own!!!
