I Wasn't Going To Do This Anymore...

But my granddaughter is selling these now & her mom posted this & it tickled me too much.

3. That picture inspired me to see how I can get Girl Scout Cookies

and it looks like my nearest Albertson's will have Girl Scouts selling them on Saturday. Hooray! It's been some years now since a Girl Scout knocked on my door.

I love the thin mints and only the thin mints. I think I'll get five boxes and freeze them.

5. they have not gone door to door for years

a girl scout was going door to door and was kidnapped and murdered in Nashville back in the 70s and the door to door was stopped there immediately - I presume other areas just decided it was too risky and stopped doing it as well

It is also possible more money is made selling at store fronts and evnts

6. Someone went door to door in Santa Fe

within the last ten years. Not a girl all by herself, if I recall correctly. Think her mom might have been with her.

The problem with only selling at the grocery stores is that people like me who don't go that often to begin with, and never go on the weekends, can easily miss them.

But I'll be heading off to my local Albertson's on Saturday.

7. Since I haven't been in touch with my "dealer" at work in the past year

I got my fix "on the street" (okay, a troop with a table at the grocery store) last year and via mail order this year.

When I lived in Maryland I had two "dealers" at work whose daughter's troops were in the the Baltimore and DC regions, which sold their cookies on different schedules. So I got to stock up twice a year...

8. Lucky, lucky you to have *two* dealers.

I just have not been around the parents of girl scouts for a very long time.

If I don't get to the grocery store on Saturday or Sunday, and they should be selling there both days, I will order on line, but I hate to pay for shipping. I know, I'm very much a cheapskate.

9. I like those & the Samoas.

10. I'll buy Thin Mints from anyone, anytime!
