Goodies

 I ordered some Cheryl's cookies to brighten our days. They are individually wrapped; we will try to stretch out our eating of them.

One of the churches in Winona Lake makes and sells peanut brittle as a fundraiser for their projects. They usually sell the patties at the holiday craft bazaars and do quite well. Of course this year there are no bazaars. They are selling the candy from the church office during set hours they advertise in the local newspaper. I picked up one package of 3 patties last week. We have nibbled a few pieces, but because I bought an apple pie and some mini cupcakes as part of my Thursday grocery pickup order, we are mostly saving the brittle for later. 

On a totally different and sad note, our county had 5 deaths from COVID in the past week, including the man that caused the scare from my husband eating breakfast with him. One of the ladies in the Grace Village choir is also ill with the virus. The number of cases is spiking. God was merciful to us or we might be among those cases.

This pandemic is going to last a long time. Cookies and peanut brittle help to make the days special and cheer us a bit.
