MOM of 12 in MISSISSIPPI:Currently living in NEW MEXICO This is about me and the joys and frustrations of being a woman, wife, mother of 12 and grandmother of many. It will be thoughts about things tried or I wish I had tried. But most of the time it will be my ponderings, mutterings and just getting through this life as I know it.

They Did It Again!
My boys made me proud again. They did an awesome job at the OA (Order of the Arrow) Ordeal weekend. They performed 3 ceremonies and one son drummed almost 2 hours straight. Maybe I will be able to snick in a pic of them in their costumes.

Proud Mother
Well, my boys made me very proud this weekend.
They are members of the OA (Honor Society in Boy Scouts) and performed their first Ordeal Ceremony. Many members of the OA were very impressed with the respect they used for the ceremony.
I have been learning alot about my Native American traditions. I have been teaching them to respect their ways and if you are representing Native Americans to do it with respect. They have gained a greater understanding of the art of smudging. And greater respect and pride, being part of the Drum team (showing respect for the drum, their sticks and the music).
I love to listen to them and I am sad that I could not be there to see them this weekend (must be member of OA).
