A Little Something Sweet

Awhile back, a friend of mine was traveling in the Midwest and ended up at the Ghyslain Chocolatier. She was so sweet to bring me back a sampling of their goodies. Now, I've never been one of those "I need chocolate" or "Chocolate fixes everything people". Personally, I'd rather have a plate of cheese fries on a bad day, but that's me, and I do march to my own drum. However, the small blue box she brought me contained six little pieces of beauty. Each was a different flavor and shape, and the remarkable thing to me is that each was HAND PAINTED. They were little tiny works of art. I have to be honest, they sat untouched in the box for a couple of days before I could bring myself to eat one. The were so pretty! Were being the operative word...they were also tasty!!

To find the image this morning, I found their website. Their story is interesting, the things that they can do with chocolate are amazing, and there are pastries....

'80s Ladies

I apologize for my absence, but we'll cover that later. On a recent road trip (day trip), for work, I made a little list in my head, let's see if I can recall the jist of it all. I worked up a list of things that we should all have in our memory books, and on my list, thanks to my iPod, I have the '80s ladies. No, not the great friends from the dorm and I that re-worked the K.T. Oslin's hit from the '80s. That is definitely another story for another time. As I was cruising across the Lone Star State in my Gold Lincoln Town Car on Friday of last week, I spent a lot of time being thankful that it was a solo mission---I did a lot of singing and dancing in that car that day. Some of the favorite stops made by my iPod were on the Ladies of the 80s. Let me just share with you right now that my musical stylings were utterly amazing and a force to be reckoned with, not to mention the moves that accompanied them. Tell me, who doesn't know their way through ...

BLESSINGS

(From somewhere on Pinterest). I found the above "poster" on Pinterest awhile back. This morning, I don't know if it was the cool morning or the prospect of a good weekend that put pep in my step and a fullness, yet lightness, in my heart, but as the dog licked my had I realized that I have more than plenty to be thankful for, to be grateful for, to treasure. I am blessed. Not only do I have food in my fridge, clothes on my back, and a warm bed to sleep in at night...my cup over flows with family and friends (although not near) and experiences that I wouldn't trade. I may never see the castles in Ireland, but I've seen... the St. Louis Arch (even went to the top in the tiny elevator) the Golden Gate bridge (been across it in a 15 passenger rental van, can you say that??) the "Faces" a.k.a. Mt. Rushmore the Alamo both the Atlantic and the Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico (and the North Platte River, but who's counting?)...I've dippe...

Have a Blessed Wednesday

It's Wednesday! I've been working on left overs from my busy weekend in the kitchen. Mom sent pics from home yesterday, and I just love this little guy! Hoping to try a new stuffed portabella 'shroom recipe, maybe this evening.
