Happy Monday everyone. Hope you had an enjoyable weekend despite the cold weather. It’s warmer in here than it is at my house so there’s no complaints from me. Sorry about the silence on Friday. The blog completely slipped my mind. I know, I know, how could I forget you guys!!

It's Girl Scout Cookie Time!
Dear Bayard Employees,
We are selling Girl Scout cookies and our goal is to sell 100 boxes each. You have about 2 weeks to place your cookie order. The order forms are in the café along with samples of the newest cookie called the Café Cookie. You do not have to pay until the cookies are delivered. The cookies will be delivered in early to mid March.

Please support our Girl Scout troops by ordering Girl Scout cookies. Thank you for helping us to reach our goal.

Girl Scouts,
Crystal (Troop 3251) &
Gabrielle (Troop 3115)

Judy’s daughter Jacquelyn is also selling Girl Scout cookies again this year.
