One Week and a Few Hours

This weekend my boyfriend, MM, and I are off to meet my parents for the hand off of the donations. Since MM and I wont see each other for five weeks, I am looking forward to the car ride. MM and I have very complicated schedules. It will be nice to be just the two of us and Interstate 75.

In an effort to mark tasks off my never ending "To Do" list, I have been tying up loose ends at the office and farming out my Girl Scout obligations. In a note to my Lime Green Giraffe staff, I wrote, "I think I have wanted to visit the Sangam since I was in the 4th grade." This is a very true statement. I was about nine years old when my Girl Scout leader, Gloria Null, introduced us to the World Centers of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts
 and the seed was planted. 

So, in one week and a few hours, I will be on my way to India and creating that chapter in my own story that I have thought about since I was at third-grader in the basement of my troop leader's house. (AHHHHH!). 


Random note: I saw this piece of art in a bathroom and somehow it felt a bit like an anthem for this whole India-Sangam experience.

  1. Marnye,

    I am so happy for you and proud of you. You have dedicated so much time to your love of the Scouts and now you are having to have this experience of a lifetime.

    Thank you so much for the note and also for letting me know how I can keep up with your trip. I won't have to continually ask your Mother now. Ha! Safe travels to you and everyone involved! A friend from home. Sharon Piper
