Aunt Meredith & The Girl Scouts

Molly's Girl Scout troop learned about the country of Thailand for World Thinking Day. Since my sister lives there and was in Memphis for a little visit, she provided education and artifacts. Lauren's mom and I made mango sticky rice for all the area GS's (about 300 of them!) to try. The school cafeteria was full of displays and flags to teach the girls about other cultures. Each troop prepared a dish to sample, they had passports stamped at each stop, and they got to spend a Saturday afternoon together. The girls in our troop wore outfits made just for them in a Thai marketplace, commissioned by Aunt Meredith. (As a side note, the poster that Molly and I made features lettering courtesy of my new Cricut machine, which is my favorite toy.)



The last few pictures are of Aunt Mer's last night here. She's now safely back in Thailand, after a whirlwind Memphis/New Orleans/Boston trip, an appearance on live TV news and a sermon at Mom and Dad's church. We miss you already, M!
