Our World Tuesday: Family, with a Side of Chocolate

SandyCarlson February 10, 2014
My nephews came over Saturday to do some sledding with Adella.

The occasion called for some cookies.

Before that, though, we had some truffles from the most amazing chocolate shop in the world--Fascia's in Waterbury.  (Even better than Butler's.)

The weekend got even better when we celebrated my parents' 50th wedding anniversary at a fabulous, humble restaurant in town, Constantine's.
Life is good, simple, short.  It would be a shame to forget that.  Let's here it for right now!
