Look at the cute card Karen Pedersen sent to me.  It made me smile so I had to share.  Thanks Karen!

What Am I doing these days you ask........

I have become a Girl Scout Leader, Troop Cookie Manager, All around -crazy- having too much Fun mom.  Really, anybody want some?  I will gladly share.  Tonight was our Valentine Party at Girl Scouts we had Chocolate covered Strawberries, the girls made Flower bouqets with suckers and we played Jingo.  We had a blast.  Good thing you can never be too old to be a Girl Scout.
