Both Abbey and Mae are in the Girl Scouts and in the days leading up to Easter our house was filled with paper sacks decorated like the face of a bunny. Abbey spent a lot of time decorating these bags which were filled with goodies and taken to the local food pantry to be distributed to any family with children who received food from them around Easter. We were surprised to find a photo of this in our local newspaper, The Missourian. You can of course see Abbey on the far left.
Annette is the leader for Mae's Girl Scout troop, carrying on a tradition for the women of her family who have also served in that role. Not only is Annette serving as a Girl Scout leader, but her mother Ruth Ann also served in the same capacity way back in her day (as well as Ruth Ann's sister Sharon), and their mother, who we all know as Gran. It's probably just a matter of time before Abbey or Mae, or both, grow up to serve in the same role. In the meantime we keep on buying our share of Girl Scout cookies, or as I like to call them, "Cholesterol in a box."
Well, we are under threat of tornado right now so I'm going to get this image uploaded and get out of here! Thunder is rumbling in the background.
