Girl Scout Day

Happy Girl Scout Day .  And to those of us who were Girl Scouts I send a warm hug and special greeting.

I joined the Brownies at age 7 with many of the girls in my elementary school class.  

We had the most fun making sit-upons, glasses cases, learning American folk dances to old songs, learning how to do all sorts of wonderful projects and skills and the best part was friends and fellowship.

Then came the Girl Scouts and I was a scout until I earned my curved bar in Senior High School.  It is equivilent to being an Eagle Scout for a boy but because we were girls they didn't make a big deal out of it.  

In Scouts we learned to camp, to swim, to skate, first aid, embroidery, cooking, sewing, hiking, community service, gardening, animal care.. you name it we learned it.

I loved being in the Girl Scouts and am very proud that I was. 

Girl Scouts of America was founded in 1912 and has a proud history.

Are there any other Girl Scout alumni out there?

How?

Welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4...

Let's jump right in...

1. How did you end up  in the place where you are living?

I like it and its been home for most of my life. I ended up in the house because it belonged to my late husband before we married.

2. How did you end up with the job you have/had?

I was decent at it and it was a way to make some money so I  majored in it and got a job.

3. How do you end up with your life partner?

I just sort of bumbled into things like that. But perhaps some design was in it. We first knew one another from high school days and met again later on.  '

4. How did your weekend go and how is the week ahead looking?

The weekend was rainy and my spine was a mess.  I slept through most of it.

( I sleep a lot cuz of thyroid tumors. There are 8 and you know I went for biopsy.. benign but we will monitor.  I opted to not go for surgery but to try to live with it though it has altered my life quite a bit lately.) That's all I will say on that.
