Idling your car with a blocked tailpipe can be deadly. Clear snow and ice from around your car's exhaust before starting the engine.
Do not let children or pets sit in an idling car while you shovel.

I haven’t finished book #12 yet (soon) but got such a kick out of the passing comment that the dinner host must have known that Fr Rafe (guest at said dinner) wouldn’t eat meat on Friday. Yep, that’s the way those of us raised by pre-Vatican II Catholics roll 😁

I’ll up this — my middle & high schoolers are trying to earn money to travel to see musicals on Broadway, to visit new countries (Costa Rica in 2026; England, France, Switzerland in 2027), and fund their Gold Awards. their goals are to sell 500+ and the teens are hustling, but Daisies are cuter…
-if you encounter highschoolers, please buy cookies from them! Even a box! The little kids get so much more attention because they are small and cute. Often the older kids are just being told "huh, aren't you too old to be a Girl Scout?"
The fact they have stayed involved is a HUGE accomplishment
