Easter treats and a nasty trick

Easter treats:

Treat #1: A Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory caramel apple Easter bunny. Marshmallow cheeks, licorice whiskers, gumdrop nose and Smartee eyes; all coated in white chocolate. Even Bryant found it too sweet.

Treat #2: Hot Cross Buns? Look again, those aren’t currants and candied fruit. They’re very decadent chocolate chips.

Treat #3: Pumpkin Creme Caramel. Yumm.

Treat #4: In Canada, if you work for the government or non-profit social services, you get a four day weekend. The first days off since Christmas.

Nature’s nasty trick: my best cousin ever has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

    Hi Li, So sorry about Elena. I am sure that she will be strong and get through this and live a long and happy life. I come from a family of breast cancer survivors who took an active role in their recovery and treatment.For Easter Tony’s cousin had baked brie cheese with orange marmelade and dark green leafy salad with blueberries in the salad. It was awesome.
    Love, Rosie

    Li – so sorry about your cousin. Keeps your thoughts positive! Breast cancer is so much more treatable now than it used to be. What a sweet Easter – those goodies look great.

    Breast cancer is a beatable disease. Positive thoughts are heading both your ways.
    What were the bunnies ears made from?

    Oh, geez. That SUCKS. We would all trade our easter goodies so your cousin could have some success in her fight ahead.
    Hugs to you. And her.

    Greetings from an internet cafe in Rønne, Bornholm, DK. There is a knit shop here in town, but I don’t think I’ll make it there. Honestly and truly, I wish you were here!!
