I know that you are all really caught up in Ground Hog Day festivities and celebrations,
but consider this my friends,
Ground Hog Day will come to an end at midnight on February 2nd
and you may find yourself totally unprepared
for the other important day in the month!

That is right,
Chocolate Day!
Oh sure, some people call it Valentine's Day,
but I like to call a spade a spade and a chocolate truffle a chocolate truffle.

My favourite place to celebrate Chocolate Day is at the Sweet Thoughts Shop
at 310 Canboro road in Ridgeville.

This is what you see when you walk in the front door.
Wall to wall chocolate and Antonio Banderas
is always there and always happy to serve you.
Okay I made the part up about Antonio Banderas,
but the chocolate is real!
Now this was quite a surprise.
I thought chocolate dropped to earth from heaven like manna and was gathered by the angels.
It turns out chocolate is actually made by people!
Who knew?
Anyway, this is Bobbi - Joan.
She owns and operates Sweet Thoughts.
In the photo she is stirring a pot of chocolate.
Yes, this is what she does for a living.
This is a chocolate bouquet.
Bobby - Joan and her band of merry ladies will make you a chocolate bouquet for any occasion.
They can arrange delivery, too.

I know I didn't have to show you two,
but I thought the dragonflies were awesome

and it's my blog.
I know. I know.
A chocolate shop that sells purses.
Life just doesn't get much better than this, does it?
What?
I didn't mention the Valentine jewellery?
To the world you may be one person,
but to one person you may be the world!
If this isn't the perfect gift for someone on your
Chocolate Day
list, well then I just don't think you are past
celebrating the rodent yet.

hey .. hey .. not only are we celebrating ground hog day and chinese new years .... you omitted the biggest day to celebrate .... there's no mention of that anywhere .... it falls on feb 5th if i remember rightly
I actually forgot all about it. Ha ha.
Oscar Wilde and Marquess of Queensberry's son.
A tragic romance for sure, but there's no Canadian connection, ComMon.
Ah yes, February 5th. Anniversary of General Douglas MacArthur's return to Manila in 1945. How soon we all forget.
Liz & Dick. They stayed at the Sutton Place hotel in Toronto, I think. Is shacking up in the Sutton Place considered a connection to Canda?
Doug, you are so funny!
Of course Liz & Dick count. And I believe one of their marriages took place in Montreal.
Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe
Oh Timegirl910, I was really hoping somebody would pick them. Thanks!
