Aaaahhh. . . the blessed and cursed Derby cars. Every year when our boys got their Cub Scout derby car kit I writhed in agony at the thought of constructing and painting them. Every mother felt the same and every father in the eleventh hour worked ferociously to get it done for the derby. Those memories still sting. Then my friend Ruthanne sent me this picture of Hinckley and Hatcher painting their own derby cars and all those bad memories turn to happy ones. The derby cars are BACK!! We aren’t stressed, we aren’t frustrated – we are happily enjoying the prep work for the derby and I’m lovingly gazing at the photo.
