What a crazy time Larry and I had during the month of February and March 2011. Larry is the Service Unit Cookie Manager for 4 different Girl Scout service units in Eastern Idaho. That meant that when all the cookies were ready to be delivered, the semi truck would be delivering the cookies to our house! It was an adventure. Larry had it all planned out for the layout of the cookies. When the semi arrived, they said the truck held half of the order. They would need to go get another semi half full for the rest. We ended up with over 5,500 cases of cookies. Each case has 12 boxes of cookies, so you do the math! That is over 60,000 boxes of cookies sitting in our garage. It was crazy. Thankfully all the cookies were picked up in a day so we had our garage back. We could never have distributed all those cookies if it hadn't been for our friends, Michael and Marcia Yates. They were wonderful! Although they may never agree to help out again. It was a very long day. For the month of March, the girls were all selling cookies through booth sales so, of course, we housed the cookies for the Cookie Cupboard. Cookies are now finished for the year. I don't think we want to see another box of cookies ... well, maybe some Thin Mints would be nice.
