Its That TIme of Year When the World Falls in Love


Oh yes, it is girl scout cookie season once more! While we speak Neil is out procuring me a box of caramel delights. I have had a close relationship with girl scout cookies since kindergarten when I was a Daisey. After that I joined league with the Brownies. My mom even served as the assistant leader. One year to earn a cookie patch each girl had to sell 50 boxes. My sister and I tried to get neighborhood folk to sign up but the situation was looking dire. (In retrospect, what was up with those people- I search for girl scouts to sell those cookies to me.) In a dashing move my dad bought 50 boxes from me and 50 boxes from my sister, Jill, so we could have our patches. Now that is love. And we had the added bonus of girl scout cookies all year round- available in our very own freezer.

Your post cracked me up... I actually went hunting today to find a grocery store with girl scouts so I could buy some. I totally understand your obsession :)

Camille was once a daisey as well--and I was the assistant leader. Wow. That was so long ago--back when Girl Scout Cookies were 2.50 a box--not like the 4.00 they are now!:-)

That was the best year of my life

I am so glad to know I am not the only person who has been craving my Caramel Delights right now. They are the best things ever. I literally eat them so slowly to savor every chewy bite.
