It's Epidemic!

There’s a new epidemic going around. I’m going to call it “Carsonitis.” It is the inflammation of the desire to use CARSON candy bars for all of our family and friends special events and celebrations.

The latest victim: my mother. It started innocently enough last fall when she ordered, for the first time, special candy bars celebrating the autumn season for a church retreat.

Since winter isn’t much fun around these parts, she was safe until spring fever hit. As if on cue, Carsonitis flared up. A luncheon was held a couple weeks ago by the local YMCA Pioneers group, of which Mom and her husband Bill are members. She chose to make adaptations to a birthday bar, turning it into a springtime celebration bar. She put them in baskets on the luncheon tables.

Afterwards she told me, “Everyone loved the candy bars! They thought they were so pretty, and I enjoyed giving them! It was fun!”

Summer is just around the corner. My sister will be celebrating her new Master’s degree. I bet Carsonitis will strike again!
