Helicopter Host

My friend is coming to stay for the first time in 7 years.  I visit her frequently; in fact since she moved to Salem, OR last fall I've visited 4 times!  I want her to feel very welcome, at home, just as I do at her house.  I hope I'm not a "helicopter host", hovering, fussing, 'cause that is not her style at all.  The kittens are excited to welcome Auntie as she is the lady who fostered them starting at 3 weeks old.  They wanted to help me make the bed. 
For the past several years, when I go to her house, I bring a craft project for us to work on.  Since she moved closer and I now drive to her, the craft kit has enlarged to a craft box.  While I haven't prepared a kit for this visit, I do have some fun supplies in mind for a Halloween theme goodie or two.
She is not a paper craft enthusiast, but she humors me.  She does love her coffee and sweets...so I'll humor her.  These are chocolate & peanut butter brownies I made, following the unbeatable Double Chocolate Brownies from Nestle Toll House recipe, with the addition of 1/3 C of Jiff Chunky peanut butter.  OMG.  Let the fun begin.
