Oct 2018 PTEX - from Finnbadger (Walmart-Target photo)

Finn's 2017 was a darling bag from Target. He returned to Target in 2018 and found this perfect bag along with two others that were inside. I love those stamps. Several people used them for Halloween themed envelopes.

Below are the two goodie bags he enclosed along with a note that suggests I could put treats in them for my grandkids. The hardest part of growing old (for me) is that sugar is currently on the hit-list. It reminds me of the scene in Sleeper, where the guy wakes up after a long time being *frozen* and the fantastic good news is that there is new research showing that high fat foods are actually good for us. It was hysterical and absurd - at the time. Then it happened. I was stunned. While I have made a ton of progress in curbing my sweets intake - I miss so many things.

I am writing this two days before Thanksgiving of 2018 and pondering whether or not to make the chocolate chip pie that my son requested. I suppose I could try to convert it to a sugar substitute recipe.

Below the goodie bags is a funny photo of some friends of mine.

Love these bags.

Oddly, these items are not available at Target. In case you can't see the fine print, they are at Walmart.
