Wonderful fall weather. The smoky air has cleared in our area. Lovely days! Only thing missing is some of that chocolate mousse and ice cream!

A walk there to build a good temptation…and a walk afterwards to savor and dream of more Lori. It looks delightful 😀 ❤

Thank you, Faye. I walk almost everyday. It is one of the best parts of my day. “Earning” some chocolate is a bonus! Hugs to you.

Thank you…I love wonderful chocolate experiences. Sometimes the memory is almost as good! I still recall a wonderful cup of hot chocolate in Venice on St. Mark’s Square. It was a cold, but sunny day. We sipped it from small,white porcelain cups. Divine! Sending good wishes and happy thoughts over the miles from Portland to you! Have a great day.

Chocolate is a special weakness of mine – not such a good thing for a diabetic! 😉

That sounds lovely! I have been to Portland once many years ago, and thought it was a fabulous city. Very like Auckland in some ways. People were sooo nice!
