Today Audrey and I were able to experience Girl Scout Day at the capitol. It was really cool.
We met the governor as she was walking to her office. I do not know if she used to be a Girl Scout. I do know that she wears very nice blazers and does not agree with me on any social issues.
After some crafts (see Audrey’s supreme court collar decorating above) we went on a tour. It was a tour that was about an hour longer than my attention span. It is a pretty building, but I don’t really need to know how they change the lightbulbs in the house chandeliers (if you want to know, ask. I can answer that question for you now).
After our time at the capitol we headed to the cupcake store, as we both needed a treat after our busy day.
We get to do so many cool activities with Girl Scouts. I’m incredibly thankful to help out and tag along at fun activities.
A word on my blog: I’ve decided to use it more as a journal than a knitting diary. I like writing about all aspects of my life, so I’m going to do it. I’ll still have knitting content, but you will see more life content in future posts.

I also love what scouting offers to girls. BTW Bill and i visited your state capitol building, but it was during COVID, not open to the public. We did enjoy walking and photographing the grounds and exterior.

I hope you come back and see the inside sometime. I bet Bill would get take some beautiful photos in the library.

That is a happy Girl Scout! What a great experience 🙂 I loved being a scout too – so many opportunities and so much encouragement for girls. Even if the governor does not agree with you, that is a pretty great blazer. And also – woman governor!

I’ve always liked that your blog was more than just knitting – activities with the children, gardening, cooking, etc. If mine were really just kayaking, I wouldn’t post much – if at all! – in the winter! Diverse interests make us more interesting.

I like the window into your life posts be it what you are up to with the kids, baking, planting, visits, hikes and tours. I’m here for it all, but I don’t need to know how they change the lightbulbs so thanks for keeping us guessing on that one 😉
