Day 134.
Cookies and Camping
Years ago (a few more years than I prefer to admit) I was
a Girl Scout. Being part of this group was very rewarding and gave me some wonderful
experiences. I remember the feeling of self-esteem that came from earning a
merit badge and also the feeling of accomplishment after braving my first
overnight camping trip...although I must say camping was never something I
gravitated to thereafter (I'm a person who likes to sleep in a real bed with a
mattress and the luxury of electricity...and while s'mores are a delicious
campfire treat I'd really rather have s'more of the comforts of home). I also
remember the first taste of responsibility that came from selling the famous
Girl Scout cookies that everyone looks forward to this time of year. I
wholeheartedly support the idea of a program like this helping to give girls
positive experiences to guide them towards becoming well-rounded, responsible young
women. I also support the idea of being able to purchase yummy cookies that
are...you guessed it...made in the USA.
The cookies I ordered came in this week and I was
delighted to look on the package and see that my Thin Mints and Trefoils were
in fact American made. All the more reason to buy cookies in support of these
girls and their worthwhile efforts...as long as I can eat them in my kitchen
instead of under a tent! I buy Girl Scout cookies every year and hope you will
as well.
