@Janet: Thank you very much for your generous comments. I would absolutely love to take you up on your offer to teach our troop about organic gardening to table food. The timing couldn't be more perfect either. At our next meeting, we're planning to create food pyramids and discuss nutrtition. Let's take this offline. Please e-mail me at plantstrong5@gmail.com and we can discuss when might be a good time for you. Thanks again. Cheers ... K

PS: If I can gather up those 25 people, I'll have you run the last mile. It's a wonderful feeling to cross a finish line -- whether it's a mile, 5K, 10K, half or full. I would love for everyone to experience that at least once. ; )

@ron: You read my previous posts and I read many of your older comments. How about that! I even shared with my editor here that I love your independent voice. I like when I can't predict where someone is going to land on an issue. It shows you have a very open mind, which I admire. I also like your tone -- if someone disagrees with you, you stand your ground respectfully and with facts, and you don't use labels or call names. It would be my pleasure to agree AND disagree with you! I have a feeling I would learn much more with the latter (I already have -- I read your comments on gun control).
I always say change is difficult because it was for me! My first attempt at whole-food veganism I failed 5 minutes in (first Starbucks sighting). It gets easier with time. In my favor are a supportive husband (he's also a whole-food vegan) and the fact that I'm a terrific vegan cook. Believe me, that's critical! And I'll have you know I make a killer vegan (and would you believe HEALTHFUL) caramel delite!
You have a great night too. I have a feeling we'll be seeing each other a lot more on The Patch -- at least I hope so! Cheers ... K

You raise an excellent point, Tiffany. I recall my sister (who lives in New Jersey) having to field the question last year "Why are the cookies $3.50 in PA?" many times (they were $4 by her). A donation would go so much further in helping the troop.
What I love most about my whole experience as a volunteer are the interactions with the girls. They are so much fun and I learn tons through their observations and inquisitive natures every time we're together. That's what Girl Scouts is all about.
Cheers ... K

@Ron: This is the most enjoyable comment I have ever read! I insist that you come back and haunt me on every post!!
My husband and I asked one another recently if we could eat meat one last time what we would choose. Matt immediately guessed for me filet mignon (that was my go-to entree when we would go out to eat). He was shocked when I replied, "A baseball game or Five Guys hot dog!" LOL
As I have said in multiple posts, any step towards a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle is a positive one. You are absolutely wonderful, Ron! I am beaming from ear to ear. Good luck to you. And please, please, please don't be a stranger! XO Cheers ...K
