I'll load up 8 gift bags in a few minutes. A gathering of the ladies
this morning. Each bag contains a loaf of homemade white bread, a bag
of caramels, a bag of turtle bites, a bag of peanut or cashew brittle,
and some chocolate caramel delights. I'll need to make more nut
brittles and turtle bites and caramels for other bags. And more bread.
I hope I can get to the supermarket before it gets *really* crappy here.
Crappy is on the way.
