New neighbors moved in across the street from me recently. This is, I think, the 4th set, in this particular house. I live in a development, & with the way the economy has been, people are in & out. As I watched these people move their gear into their new home, I wondered what happened to the days when you would bring your neighbors some cookies & such, to welcome them into the neighborhood...visions of pin-ups & Doris Day in my head, I thought, I should bake these newbies some cookies & make them feel welcome...then, the wheels in my brain kept turning, I remembered a story on a local radio station about a con, where a lady brings cookies to people just moving into a neighborhood. While she distracts the newbies, others come & steal their stuff... I don't want the newbies to think I am conning them...maybe this is why no one bakes cookies anymore... It is pretty sad, but I did end up making peanut butter brownies, that I shared with my man, while we talked about how long the new neighbors will last.

Relaxing is definitely the best!
