“All you need is love, but a little bit of chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” (Charles Schulz) I remember a visit we once made to Hershey, PA. The street lights are shaped like Hershey kisses. I really liked the gift store. The creator of “Peanuts” must like chocolate as much as I (and you?) do. But let’s not overlook what his quote is really about…the importance of love, Charlie Brown. ;-) Jack

FROM GOOD DEBT JON: "Man cannot live by chocolate alone, every now and then a little caramel must come into his life." 1st Hesitations 12:2 NRV (New Redneck Version)////FROM JACK: The Bible also mentions a mountain made of carmel, Mt. Carmel. I wonder if the song, "Big Rock Candy Mountain" refers to that.

FROM SH IN MICHIGAN: how about the boxes of chocolate where there is a filling of every kind, some caramel, some coconut, some with nuts, some with mint, whoever devised those recipes must have really loved people and appreciated people's different tastes. Happy Father's Day to all you fathers.////FROM JACK: You've reminded me that three of my favorites are Snickers, Mounds and Hershey Almonds. BTW, what do you think about referring to God as our Holy Dad?

FROM AM IN MICHIGAN: Do you like light or dark chocolate?////FROM JACK: I believe in anti-discrimination.

FROM DAZ IN COLORADO: Amen////FROM JACK: Have you been able to find an Sander's out there?

FROM BLAZING OAKS: Amen, to that, Charlie Brown! I love sweets, but WHITE chocolate is my thing. To each his own, eh, what?! I read a short book by a psychiatrist, now retired in W, Virginia (Can't bring up the title, but it was very engrossing!) who, during WW1, died briefly of pnuemonia, and had a terrific out-0f-body experience for those 20 or so minutes that was unforgettable. He said, "this taught me that we need to love, Love, LOVE as much and as many as we can here on Earth...Judgement is all about loving one another...and his medical practice was so enhanced by this knowledge. I have meant to re-read it, because you can't really digest all he presented in one reading! As the old song goes, "What the World Needs NOW is Love, sweet Love..."////FROM JACK: When Charlie Brown grew up, I wonder if he ever married that red-head girl. He'd be about 61 years old now....and maybe a grandpa....Grandpa Charlie!
