April 15, 2024 Another in a series of observations of life as I know it. Girl Scout Cookies are life's way of rewarding you for giving up on your New Year's Resolutions. -Anonymous ~~~~~ Nothing can take one down memory’s rabbit hole faster than the glimpse of a Girl Scout selling cookies. Tiny girls wearing sashes bedecked with badges. Such was the heartwarming tableau in the parking lot of Friends Market this morning. A tipsy card table, a harried mom and two scouts hawking Thin Mints. Be still my heart. I don’t normally carry much in the way of cash, but today I was flush with tens and twenties. But, no need! These 8 year old humans had Venmo. Be Prepared is, if course, the scouts’ motto. I was so proud.
Sadly, inflation only goes one way.
Too funny!!
Brings back fond memories of my own:)
And the individual troops still get the same amount of the purchase price even though it has gone from 25 cents to 6 dollars!
