Happy 107th Birthday Girl Scouts!
I almost let this day go by because I am in the middle of putting something special together, but I thought it was a sacrilege if I didn’t acknowledge today’s special day. My goal was to finish it by today as a birthday present to you, the reader, but it has been a stressful cookie season (and it’s still not over 😥 ). So I’m not sure when it will be completed, but my hope is soon.
Instead, I leave you with a random picture of early Girl Scouts and J-Low looking very happy and proud in her GS uniform. Sometimes I like to look at a picture and guess what the person was thinking at the time based on her facial expression.
1st girl (from left): Whew, got here just in time. Almost forgot my OFFICIAL tie. It’s crooked, but at least it’s on. Are my feet supposed to be together?
2nd girl (from left): It is soooooooooooooooooooooooo hot out here. And Sophie’s tie is crooked. Again.
3rd girl (in the back row): I hope my face doesn’t get covered up in the picture.
4th girl (front and center): OMG J-LOW IS STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO ME!!! I hope I don’t screw up!!!!
5th girl (in the back): They said not to smile while saluting the flag, but I’m gonna do it anyway. Wheee!
6th girl (in the back): Sigh, why do *I* have to be the one to hold the flag up like it’s waving in the wind? My arm is about to FALL OFF.
J-Low: I love this.
Happy 107th Birthday, Girl Scouts! You don’t look a day over 29!
Love the ‘girl’ comments…and so glad we don’t wear those uniforms!
Great photo! J. Low – “I feel something – is there a breeze or did a bird just poop on the brim of my hat?”
What a fun way to look at the picture!!! Thank you for a special happy birthday to all of us G.S. out here. I’m celebrating 50 years in G.S.!!! (No, I’m not crazy or senile!!!) For 46 consecutive years I have had a troop, still do, and hope to continue on for a few more years of enjoying the girls and our adventures!
