Jacqueline
Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.

Words to Eat By
"Though never a very good dieter, she'd found a rule of thumb that kept her from blimping out as her metabolism aged - eat what you want, but not all of it. So if she wanted cheesecake, she made cheesecake, had a slice, and took the rest to a friend or someone in her church who needed a pick-me-up."

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post and all the black and white is fun. I can't picture where that new buffet is. Is it by the fireplace? Love the little crafties that you and Beaulah have been up to. I know that Kylee is just like her grandma. As it turns out, we might be able to come on the 23 (depending on the time of the dinner). Let us know. Joni
