Man. I get so out of breath when you telll me of your schedules!
Wow. How did you manage a three year jump in your age? I’m going backwards, now. Once I hit 50, I began to age in reverse.
A Girl Scouts’ overnight ages one very rapidly :-).
This event has come together very well - out of 12 girls, all but one is expected for at least part of the time, and I e-mailed her mom to ask if she couldn’t at least come make pottery. (The girl was going to be camping this weekend!)
I hadn’t done many outings with the girls this past year, although lots of fun meetings. I was intimidated by trying to set something up that would work for so many people. After my success with ice skating in May, and this event (fingers crossed) going to be a success, too, I’ll have more initiative with the Junior troop starting in the fall.
Elen keeps asking about stuff, “Can we make pottery? Can we go to the Juliette Low house in Savannah?” and I say, “When the troop meets in September, make your suggestions, and if the other girls like them, then start planning how you’ll pay for it!” One suggestion from the instructor at the Junior Leader training I took earlier this month was to sell coffee and doughnuts at the poll in November. (Bill and Anoreth were already considering this ... but they could work another poll if the Girl Scouts are going to sell at my home precinct!)
