Hurray!!! Finally!!!!!! Barring inclement weather, Girl Scouts cookies will be arriving in the Triad today. Word has it they will be selling cookies at the Harris Teeter on N. Elm Street, where this photo was taken (last year). Let us see, thin mints, shortbread, caramel deLites, peanut butter sandwiches, peanut butter patties, lemonades, cinnamon rounds, thanks-a-lot. Oh those memories of childhood.
Alice always said, "nothing beats staying up watching the Olympics and eating Girl Scout cookies." She also said that her scout troop leader was second only to her mother in guiding and mentoring her in her youth. A teacher friend of ours said that teacher appreciation week is not the same without a box of thanks-a-lots. So much goodness is tied up in the purchase of a box of Girl Scout cookies, Boy Scout popcorn, Kiwanis Club pancakes. Put on your rain galoshes and find a civic organization to support today!
Visit our friends over at Newton Daily Photo if you like visual reflections!
beautifully composed and shot!
yummy times ahead!

This is a great shot. I've already got my stash (and yes, I hid some of them HA!) I just wonder why they sell them in February, when so many people start diets in January??

Maybe I should ask my sister to buy some and send them over. I've always been intrigued by girl scout cookies. Let's see – one box each of thin mints, shortbread and both peanut butter kinds. :)
Have a happy weekend, Jan!

wonderful reflections! & so true about Girl Scout cookies and memories. I have good ones involving thin mints.

You have so many kinds of girl guide cookies. In New Zealand, we still have the traditional ones. A fellow teacher takes orders in our staff room.
They also sell them outside shopping malls.

Excellent shot. Very classy Parisian lady :-) but what are those cookies? You buy the cookies to help support the girl scouts?

This isn't fair. How can you expect me to look at the reflection while all of those Girl Scout cookies are in front of it? Nice shot!

I was a Brownie and a Girl Guide in the UK but we didn't have cookies! I'm off to find out a bit more about them!

Ah the tradition continues. I like the way you included the woman in the foreground.
