It’s that time of year….

yes, cookie time is here! The Silent Salesgirl is making her rounds of the neighborhood, offering up her ever present order form (and pen, for your convenience). Kelsey has been donning her vest, visiting the neighbors, and in general, doing her best to convince everyone that they need an immediate stockpile of their favorite type of Girl Scout cookie….all while doing nothing more than standing on a doorstep grinning ear to ear.
She is a little shy. However, as we have learned, these things sell themselves. Folks are long set on a favorite, and the minute they see the little Daisy traipsing up their front walk, their minds are made up and the wallet is out. Kelsey doesn't have to do any thing or even have much of an introduction. The form is grabbed, the options debated by other family members stepping in to ensure their needs are met, and we are on our way…5 more boxes sold with nothing more than a "How do you do?"
Now, she is not allowed to sell on the internet and I won't even joke about having a little instant form somewhere. Emails to family and friends are okay, but most sales are supposed to be in person or on the phone. On that note, some of you have expressed interest in a possible purchase. I know a few of you will be lucky enough to visit the weekend the cookies are delivered and will be able to take them home with you! With us living so far away, this is a treat we rarely get. Kelsey is already psyched about hand-delivering to folks we rarely (now) rarely get to see!
If this message inspires you and you suddenly have a thin mint craving, let me know and Kelsey will be happy to give you a call. We have until Sunday to get in our initial order, which will arrive on or about 21 February.
