Off to Reno this weekend to give these baby booties to my son and daughter-in-law.
Trying to restrain myself to making one baby item a month. (and not overwhelm the parents with an out of control grandmother).

The Ding Dongs Have Died
Did you hear the news?
Hostess - who makes Twinkies as well as Ding Dongs, has filed bankruptcy.
Rather than work it out with the union, the hedge fund owners have decided not to duke it out with the union.
18,000 jobs lost.
My grandma always kept a box of ding dongs in her freezer for when we visited. To this day, my siblings and I can inhale foil wrapped frozen ding dongs all day long.
Well - not really - I have serious food sensitivities - so my days as a ding dong eater are past.
In the last few years the oddball Hostess offerings were getting more difficult to find. For a while, Target was stocking Ding dongs.
So Hostess investors will sell off the recipe and image rights to the highest bidder and some dork will try to re-create the Ding Dong.
It won't be the same.
Anyone else have an Hostess memory?
