A meeting of three

Duckie was at a sleepover during our most recent meeting, so it was just Sandpiper, Pelican, and Swallow. Since it was Duckie's job to plan the meeting and Sandpiper didn't realize until a day or so ahead that Duckie was missing the meeting, it was loosely planned, but a lot was accomplished.

Swallow and Sandpiper made peanut butter cup brownies for the snack, based on Swallow's choice. We didn't have a chance to plan a group activity that worked online, so the focus of the meeting was on Swallow's Textile Arts badge and she was able to complete three of the seven required activities toward the badge - now she has only two more activities to go, which we are hoping to wrap up soon.

Our meeting was plagued with some technical problems and once again we could see each other, but could not hear Pelican for the majority of the meeting. Pelican's husband came home toward the end of the meeting and we think we've found a permanent solution to that problem.

Before the next meeting, Swallow needs to plan her Dreams to Reality badge and contact an aunt who has agreed to help make Angry Swan badges. Duckie has quite a few things to do, which Sandpiper will work with her on. Sandpiper is going to work on organizing the craft room with a goal of making the area usable for crafting, including the troop meetings (Swallow's help is one of the things she'll need to do toward her badge).

Our swan figures joined in the meeting, which Swallow and Sandpiper really enjoyed, b/c they are silly like that. Everyone also remembered to wear their beads, also fun. Even though the meeting was planned on the fly, we think it went pretty well and a lot was accomplished.

The next meeting is January 30 and we have agreed to wear our Moon Pie shirts for the meeting.
