Girl Scout Cookies

Did you buy any Girl Scout cookies this year? I think I bought four boxes, which is less than I used to buy in the past. But then, it’s just me and my daughter now and we don’t need that many cookies. Still, it is an annual tradition for a lot of people and I know that Thin Mints come but once a year.
I sat with one of my best friends as she and her daughter stationed themselves outside a local Blockbuster Video and sold cookies. They did very well. It was a wonderful spot and on a Friday night the crowds were ripe for the picking. People were coming to Blockbuster to rent movies for the night and as they came out they realized that cookies were the perfect accompaniment to the night at home watching the newest releases.
I also sold Girl Scout cookies when I was young. I went door to door in my neighborhood and I was always able to meet my goal. I never sold as many as another girl in my troop, LanVi. She was the champ year after year. But, she never sold anything like the Michigan girl who sold 17,328 boxes of cookies this year. She apparently did it by setting up a cookie stand on a street corner. Her troop as a whole raised $21,000 selling cookies and that is amazing, since the troops don’t actually get a whole lot per box. The girls are going to use the money to travel to Europe for a 10-day trip.
