Hoppy Easter!





G'day friends! Look at the lovely selection of choccies I received as gifts from my possums. The Haighs chocolate Bilby is a special SA treat. I can't wait to nibble it's ears. The large colourful circle is called a chocolate freckle-hand made! Those Lindt bunnies can hop everywhere-even to island nations. I guess Easter would not be complete in SA without some of the Cadbury's Chocolate eggs. I am heading out tonight to a lamb BBQ at my school mentor's home. The warmth and hospitality of the SA Aussi's remind me very much of the folks on the east coast. Must be living by large bodies of water. The ion therapy makes everyone happy. That and the really great wines. Whatever you do this Easter weekend I wish you good health and happiness! Lots of love and hugs.
G'Day eh!

    Hi Bern!
    Have you come down from your chocolate high yet? MMMM! It all looked delicious. What a neat idea the chocolate freckle is! You probably noticed chocolate therapy is similar to ion therapy :-) Luckily here in C.B. we get both! We had a nice Easter here. The Easter Bunny left baskets for everyone and by special request the Bunny also had and egg hunt for the "kids" (yeah, Amey,22, Sherri,19, and Doug,20,-Sherri's boyfriend). Of course, turkey dinner with all the trimmings. Looking forward to your next installment!
    Take care,
    Irma
