Someone could get to thinking that I have fallen out of the writing habit, given that it’s been a while between posts. Not the case.

Who knew today is National Chocolate Day? I’m IN!
Thanks for the appetizing post, Arlene. 🙂

I didn’t know this was such an auspicious day! Not a big fan of sweets, but a little bit of chocolate every so often is nice. Thanks for the excuse for eating some today.

Oooh, sounds delicious. I will look for that!
