As we drive up and down 290 on our various missions, we are delighted over and over by the darling oil cloth pillows on the porch at Valli and Kim.  Nothing says Spring like oil cloth.  Enjoy Spring in The Springs!

Thank a Girl Scout

We were driving down RR 12 the other day and I noticed a sign that credits the DS Girl Scouts for ensuring that a section of the highway over near Hamilton Pool Road is litter-free.  We can all thank a Girl Scout on March 12 as the Girls Scouts of America celebrate Girl Scout Day. This date celebrates the creation of the first Girl Scout group on March 12, 1912.  Lady Olave Baden-Powell, founded Girl Guides. The wife of Lord Baden-Powell (who created the Boy Scouts), she was born on February 22 (1889).  On March 12, 1912 Juliette Gordon Low started the first Girl Scout group in Savannah Georgia with 18 girls. The Girls Scouts became a national organization, and was was chartered by the U.S. Congress on March 16, 1950. Today, there are millions of girls involved with Girl Scouts.
