Mmmm Good!

My dear Hubby came home from a business trip to Belgium and brought many goodies home for me.

I had given him two requests. Since he had a layover in London I asked that he bring me something that said London on it. I have always wanted to travel to London and take in the sights and I was a little jealous that I couldn't go. My second request was that he bring me back some Belgium chocolates. What sane chocolate loving gal wouldn't love some Belgium chocolate? This is what was in the packages!
From London (really the airport) he brought me an ink pen that has the flag of England on it and a tin that looks like the red buses that travel around London. The tin "says" London on it so he fulfilled my request! The tin is filled with yummy English Toffees. Someday I hope to really ride in one of those red buses in London. From Belgium he brought me chocolate all right! A box of assorted chocolates, a jar of yummy chocolate sauce and a dark chocolate bar. Yummy does not describe the taste of these beautiful chocolates! I am savoring each one. I have limited myself to one a day. If it is a big piece of wonderful mouth melting chocolate I cut it in half to even make my chocolate bounty last longer. I have been known to share with Hubby too. Honest! I haven't broken into the chocolate bar yet but I have tasted the sauce. Mmmmmm! Are you laughing at me yet? It's really ok if you are. I am! As much as I love the things he brought home to me I love having him back home more!

You must be living right! First, that stash you bought at Shipshewana, then you won that book, and now all this chocolate!! Can it get any better?

I would be sitting under that finished quilt, eating chocolate and reading my new book! Enjoy!

I would be doing just as you are, in fact, have been known to.

We have a local shop that makes their own chocolate, it's some of the best I've ever had. I savor each one when my dh buys me a box.

Enjoy!!

MMm. Belgium chocolates! I don't think I'd be able to savor them. I am a gobbler when it comes to chocolate. I always found the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory story unbelievable because the little boy could make his chocolate bar last a month. No Way!

what great gifts your hubby got for you. I can tell by what he got you that you are a lover of chocolate!! I'm kind of like you in that I too would savor chocolate and want them to last awhile by eating one a day - after all dark chocolate is good for you!! Karen
