We don't do a lot of sweets here. I did buy a box of 8 pretty cookies at
Costco. They have a lot of frosting and look like flowers. They are
individually wrapped. There is a big chance that nobody will eat them but
they are beautiful and my mom can't have real flowers due to allergies.

Angela will be making some cookies soon. This will be a first for her.
We'll see how they come out. More and more of her friends are employed now
in the food industry so she is finally wanting to work with food.

I did buy a few small treats for the baskets. Angela wanted a chocolate
rabbit. I think her desire for one is because we can never seem to find
them in the stores that are peanut free. I had to mail order one and it
wasn't cheap. I am actually not doing a basket for her this year but a
shopping bag. Ulterior motive there! I saw a cute bag with a cat on it
that I want. Am hoping she will let me use it after. Heh. The bag will
mostly be full of food but not a lot of sweets. She and husband are both
big into jerky these days with bacon being the favorite. She has also been
wanting peanut butter a lot so I got some jars of alternate nut and seed
butters for her. Also socks. She collects socks. Not like she needs any
more but I do get them when I find interesting looking ones. These are in
bright spring colors with highly cushioned bottoms. Oh! I also got her a
Spring gingerbread house kit.
