We started another Young Travelers group last week. Four boys, Casey, Jonathan, Megal, and Jalen are going to work with the guys in Bill's shop making leather belts, and wood key chains. As soon as the weather cooperates, we will also take the boys on a trail ride. The boys will come for 8 weeks on Mondays after school. We are going thru the book, The Young Traveler's Gift, by Andy Andrews. The first week was orientation and getting to know the boys. This past Monday, we talked about responsibility and making right choices. This is always a must when we talk to the kids. This group of boys are a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to getting to know them better.
We have a great group of mentors: Rufus, Bill, Charlie, Jerry, Larry, and Gary. The men are very excited about getting to the know boys as well. Donna, Dawn, and I are providing some "female" insight to the discussion group. Casey's mom brought Chili the first Monday, Sloppy Joes the second Monday, and next week making stew. WE LOVE CASEY'S MOM!!!! You go girl!!! Take a look at pictures by clicking "Young Travelers Jan 2010" at the right.
