Its that time of year again

I guess my first memory of those delicious cookies is as a small girl hunting to find the hidden box my Mom bought to savor in her closet in moments of solitude. She had no intention of sharing that little green or purple box. She was not the best example of sharing and I have proudly followed in those footsteps. I was a Girl Scout for a brief time. We would meet at the church; I even earned a few badges. I know I also had a brief stint with 4-H. But is there anyone who can deny the yum of a Girl Scout cookie? Normally I prefer homemade cookies, even to the point of cookie snob; yet I can’t deny the love I have for these tasty treats. Do you think if they were sold at a store year round they would demand such adoration? I think part of the fun is longing for them over the entire year. Once I remember having missed my chance. I made Scott drive me to the headquarters and still no luck. Boy the next year I went over board spending about $60.00 on cookies. I rationalized that it was for a worthy cause. Those cute girls!!! Who can resist a sweet face full of hope wanting to meet the goals set loftily by the competitive mother? Not I. They get so excited to get the order. Over the years my loyalty to Thin Mints has remained strong, I love eating a bunch out of the freezer with a cold glass of milk. I really love Tagalongs and Do-Si-Dos; peanut buttery heaven. I also relish biting into a box of Samoas. Café Cookies are the new ones this year and I find them disappointing. But my 4 favs have been around for over thirty years! I think if they did away with them it could possibly bring down the free world as we know it. Long live the Girl Scout Cookie!!!
