Cookies

Well I know what we're going to be doing for the next few days. Delivering girls scout cookies. My granddaughter sold 375 boxes of cookies. This is great for her because she's a little on the shy side.

It has been a great experience so far. The group goal was 200 boxes each but the prize she wanted you had to sell 300 boxes. So she sat herself a goal of 300 boxes and really worked for it. She 's a inspiration-if you want something give it all you have.

Congrats girl good job.
