I was roaming through old posts this morning when I found this wonderful reminder of life the way it was! It was originally published on Sept. 18, 2013.
I've been a Girl Scout Cookie mom on and off over the last ten years.
Ten years ago, I was a new arrival in this town, and I had been talked into the job of cookie mom by my daughter's girl scout leader. I didn't know many people here, but I did think this would be a great way to meet some new people.
I wasn't really sure what the job entailed, but I was reassured that I would be able to attend training for new cookie moms.
When I showed up at the training session, all of the seats were taken. I found a spot on the floor, pulled out a notebook and began taking notes.
Ten minutes into the meeting, I felt a little tickle on my foot and looked down to see that a mouse had climbed up onto my shoe and had his front paws on my knee. He was looking up at me with very bright, curious eyes.
The next thing I knew, I was being helped down off the top of the table.
I'm not sure whatever happened to the mouse, but thanks to that mouse, I did meet many new people that night!
