Founders Day and Ella's Birthday

Today is a special day on several fronts in our household. Today is the day that Baden Powell was born. He is the person who’s ideas saw the start and development of Scouting (and Guiding). While the delivery of the program may look different to what Baden Powell originally started, it is a day that we remember

The other reason it is special is that Ella (Akela’s pet dog), has her birthday also. Akela is a bit of a nut and takes Ella to the beach for her birthday. Ella might not actually know it’s her birthday, but she sure LOVES the beach and if the windows of the car are not up, then we are pretty sure Ella would be out the window and down at the water edge before anyone else has un done their seat belts!

As a result, we headed for Sempahore and had a few hours at the beach. We were able to enjoy the water, as well as having a nice picnic lunch, prepared for by Akela, overall, we had a great day.
