I'm great.  I gave up too much reading/posting when I stopped watching and shopping.  I still read and make an occasional comment.

Oh, those Cabbage Patch dolls caused many a brawl, didn't they?  So funny to think of it now.  I can't say I ever stood in line for anything, but times are different now.  For myself, if I cannot readily buy something, I just don't since there's so little I really need anymore.  A bag or a cup?  No.

Willie is as beautiful as ever...I still have a crush on him!

Hope life is treating you kindly.

Apparently, the Trader Joe bags are very popular in Japan. A Twitch streamer I follow bought four at one Trader Joe's and four more at another TJ to take with her to Japan as gifts for her boyfriend's family that still live in Japan. It's an interesting gift to give to someone. She's going there next week and will be taking them the bags.

@gardenman   So are out Japanese friends.  They send them back or bring them when they visit. You know Japan, a,ways need a gift when you visit, lol!

I was not aware of this trend so of course I had to Google it.  They are awfully cute in their Easter egg colors.  I can think of a lot of uses for them so I might have to take a trip to Trader Joe's.  I do love that store but I rarely go because it's way over on the opposite side of town and just not convenient for me.  BTW, I saw a set of four on Amazon for $99.00.  Huh?!!! 😳

my friend started a new online business. she buys cheap cabbage patch dolls and "refurbishes" them. she started about three months ago. she usually gets between 40 - 50 dollars for them. i have purchased four from her to give as gifts. lol

I was at TJs for the first time in ages last week and saw them there. They were $2.99 each, so I got three - 1 in each of the colors. By the time we were ready to check out, there was only one color left. I asked the cashier and she said they just came in on Tuesday and by the time we left on Thursday, I think they were gone. I think they are sweet and might be good for carrying music to chorus. I might use the other two for filling with gifts, but I am resisting the urge to try to sell them on ebay. 

They do look durable, but they are small. I would not have paid more than the $2.99 I paid.

@sunshine45   That is a cool business.  When the craze hit I bought for my daughters. They had twin, redhead cabbage patch dolls. They kept them , then years ago someone stole them, can you believe that. They were in her garage, as she was going thru box, went inside , came out....gone.
