What are you looking forward to?
Around this time of year what makes you excited, and you just can’t help but count down the days for? Some may say the first sunny stretch of days or the last snow fall. Yes, those are on my list, I mean you can’t wait for those days especially after a winter like we had this winter. Besides those, the top thing I can’t wait for is girl scout cookies. It’s not just a day it’s a good deal of time a person can enjoy them.
