The adorable, always humorous MBA Jane is my way of honoring our Sisterhood Merit Badge program, now with 7,130 dues-paying members who have earned an amazing number of merit badges so far—10,150 total! Take it away, MBA Jane!!! ~MaryJane
Wondering who I am? I’m Merit Badge Awardee Jane (MBA Jane for short). In my former life …
For this week’s Garden Gate/Rootin’ Tootin’ Expert Level Merit Badge, I was basking in the warm glow of achievement. Oh, Expert Level Badges, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
The warm and fuzzy feeling I get when I earn one.
The newfound knowledge that makes my head swell (in a totally humble and attractive way, of course).
The eagerness with which I tell my friends and family.
Embroidering my badge and feeling oh-so-accomplished.

sweet potatoes can be tricky, read how to treat them when they are out of the ground , they need ot sit a awhile.
wow the tip about ginger is just so wonderful. Im telling everyone that one! thanks MaryJane! and I love love love ADOS ! made my day!!
I feel silly, but I don’t know what ADOS stands for!
When you’re easily distracted, you’re acting like maybe a cat who chases a squirrel. You’re doing one thing and then you’re chasing something else. “Squirrel!” people say when they find themselves not staying on task.
So, Attention Deficit Oh Squirrel? I hadn’t seen the initials before, I think. Although I may have been distracted by a squirrel and forgotten…
Definitely, it sounds like a squirrel grabbed your attention and made it deficit:) Carol had a great squirrel story that she shared with us yesterday. I’ll encourage her to write it up.
oh and i dont have a “read more” tag on CJ’s post so i want to say to her, she is always an inspiration when she writes. Go at em CJ !
Confession time: I don’t think I’ve ever tasted a parsnip. Probably because I’m not a turnip fan (although if they’re young and RAW) I sorta like them, although not enough to grow them. But I’ve read that parsnips are lovely. Is that true?!?
They can be so sweet that the English make cakes from them. Alas my parsnips arent that sweet. they say the trick is to leave them in the ground and a frost sweetens them
Good morning Lisa. I know my carrots when left in the ground after frost are sweeter. Hey, I fixed the MORE tag on CJ’s merit badge Hear Ye post. Thanks for the heads up. Have-to-remember-that-durn-thing:)
Thanks as always MaryJane. Look for a small package
in the mail .
