Didn't get to meet Rob but he is the other half.

What a great picture! Cocoa Lulu with her basket of goodies. And then we all know about the white chocolate candy/cookies. To die for.

Lynnea, do you have a website or could you sell some of those to us?

Desoto, TX(Zone 8a)

Sorry, my memory was never any good. I know we met and talked but I'm totally blank this morning.

Now this is a true little sweetheart. Bronc's little girl, Jordyn. Calls me gammaw and I love it. Her outfit was velvet and just fit her personality. Always smiling.


Well, I did it again. Can't seem to get the correct pictures together. This was to be next anyway.

The lady on the right, facing us, is Ashley, Bronc's beautiful bride, and the baby is Jimi. The other lady is Ashley's sister and don't know her name.

Will try to get Jordyn next.

LouC, I'm embarrassed. One, because that's way more pictures of me than I need to see.lol Two, because I do have a website for work www.calicochocolates.com and since I'm so busy gardening in the summer I haven't updated it in a while (Happy Valentines Day! LOL).

Desoto, TX(Zone 8a)

Oh, Cocoa-Lulu...those were the BEST flowers I've ever eaten!! YUMMM! I too kept taking it out of the bag and taking a little nibble here, nibble there, nibble here....and mine was gone too...but I ate it!! lol I took one for my husband but knew he just couldn't fully appreciate it, so I gave it to my sister who has been tortured by a diet for weeks. :) (she secretly thanked me)

Thank you, if your sister is as petite and cute as you, she doesn't need to dieting anyway.lol

Every time you bring up chocolate, I think of those sunflowers. Now mind you, I worked in a public warehouse/shipping place for a long time in my youth. We had 6.... 90,000 pound refrigerated lockers of chocolate. That was in the day when a Hershey chocolate bar was all chocolate. Have you ever smelled 90,000 pounds of chocolate? EEEWWW. Whitman's was one of our clients, too. EEEWWW. We got more chocolate than a stadium of people could eat. Haven't like chocolate since. That is...until October 28, 2007. I was reborn.
A chocolatier came into my presence. AAahhh. What a delight. Magnifico.
Excellente. Next time we go to see MIL at Wills Point, may just have to keep truckin' on down ole hwy 80 to Grand Saline. Have been through the two traffic lights dozens of time the last 4 years. Didn't know there was any reason to stop.

Josephine, Arlington, TX(Zone 8a)

It sure was scrumptious, I shared mine with two of my gardening friends, and we all raved about it while we ate it.

LouC, you are so kind and funny! Come February, I'm burt out looking at the stuff myself! Oddly enuff, I can't smell it anymore until another ingredient is added. I would love a visit from from you, if it's in the Spring we could nursery hopping. I bet we could even talk Mibus or Mamajack into going with us! lol

Debnes, I found a ginkgo tree :0) not sure if it's male/female, but i can find a home for it none the less.

Josephine, Arlington, TX(Zone 8a)

Rusty, we are sorry you missed it too. That is a beautiful dog you have there.
Josephine.

Desoto, TX(Zone 8a)

I absolutely love having even more wonderful trips in the future. Of course, I do have a very busy social calendar. That's a really big joke. I love being home and would rather my friends here than anywhere I know. We could always plan a tea party and Mike could cook for us.

Jasper Co., MO(Zone 6b)
