Choosing between the sour sugar coated chewy candy and a mixed bag of goodies was a difficult one for sweet Thomas; and as he deliberated over exactly which delicious morsels he wanted, Elliot charmed the other patrons (and the owner) with his antics. Yes, for those of you familiar with our children's tendencies to transform themselves into a variety of characters, "Marlon Brando" did indeed make an appearance, as did "Little Old Man." (I promise there were absolutely no cues from his parents.)
No Pascha basket would be complete without some meat and cheese, so after leaving with some chocolate kindly and freely given to our boys, we headed to the best farmer's market ever and loaded up on a host of items: bacon, sausage, roast, chicken, ham hocks, and some locally produced cheese (did you know cheddar cheese isn't supposed to be yellow?)
Now for one additional cup of coffee and the day will be absolutely perfect!
