Niamh's journal
"Hi I am six. I am homeschooled. I like art. I like French. My name is Irish, it sounds like Neeve."

Nikolia's journal
"My name is Nikolia. I am 7 years old. We live in Boston. I have 3 brothers and sisters. We home-school like everyone else in our Brownies group. We had a lot of fun last year in Brownies. My sisters & I sold 1000 boxes. My favorite food is Pastitsio. My favorite thing to do is play with my baby brother. I like to swim, run, and play piano. Have fun with my Emily!"

Katie's Flat Stacie is home

she was visiting a Troop in West Roxbury, MA.
She stayed with Alexa who is 6 years old. She loves to read. She likes mysteries. Boston is where she lives.
There is a picture of Flat Karly & Alexa in a bikeathon of some type. They were number 101.
She also stayed with Sasa who is 7. She took Flat Karly to Davis Mega Maze and President Kennedy's birthplace which is in her neighborhood in "Brookiine, Massachusetts".
They had lots of fun!!! She sent a picture of her & Flat Karly at JFK's birthplace, & a postcard from the maze.

cookie meeting

Katie & I picked up our cookie stuff at Princeton, sending out letters tomorrow telling everyone I have the stuff, I'll be home all nite Wednesday, & if that doesn't work, they can call to arrange something else. We sell Nov. 1-30, orders have to be to Sara by Dec. 4th.
Got returned checks from bank, KC did cash our membership check, so they must've "found" our "lost" registration forms.

journeys cont.

I screwed up & am one Brownie book short, so will order that along with a lot of cool new patches I just know Katie will want on her Girl Scout quilt that I promise to start as soon as I get a new sewing machine, can't get mine to work right & it was a cheap one on sale, so will buy another cheap one on sale...got a lot of sewing out of the last one!

Journeys

I had bought one each of the Brownie, Junior, & Cadette Journey books with troop money, thinking I could make copies for the various activities since the books are $7 each. Then the Council bought each troop the book/guide set, so we got another Junior & Brownie Journey book. Last nite Katie & I were looking at the books to see how we wanted to start with it, she had so much fun reading the Junior book, & there are lots of cool fill in areas & scrapbook type stuff, so I ordered a book for each girl. (had to order 7 more books).
Thinking we'll split into 2 groups, Brownies for an hour, Juniors/Cadette for an hour. The leader book says you can do seven 1 hr. sessions, but they don't have to do everything to get the badge set. Will wait till the new books arrive, then set up a meeting. We usually have 1 meeting a month, with the exceptions of dance practices when they decide to dance somewhere. That would make the "journey" take the rest of the year. We usually have a party meeting with games & crafts for Xmas & Easter, so that gets rid of 2 hours...& will have to vote & see if they want to do the Mom & Me Tea again...several of the moms thought it was a lot of fun (It wasn't just me!)
I need to finish reading the leader guides.
