Brownies

I'm just going through my boxes of memorabilia from my childhood.  I found my Brownies Programme book.  That was a fun time.  I was in brownies for only a year, because I started at a late age.  I think brownies was for girls between 6 and 9.  I guess I must have been 8 turning 9 at the time.

I remember being such a go-getter.  Maybe I wanted to catch up with the other girls, but for some reason I don't think that was it.  By the end of that year, I had more brownie badges than most girls there.   I think I got between 14 and 17 of them.   Most of those girls had been there about 3 years, and had less than even half of that!

It makes me feel good when I get to look back on things like this.  That is why I love to keep things from my childhood.  

Now, if only I could get that drive back, that I used to have back then.
