Chocolate for Easter

It’s Easter Saturday here in Co. Mayo, Ireland. I hope you're all having a good day, especially if you celebrate it as a significant religious event. Yesterday, our son and his wife gave me the chocolates you see in the photo. The big box holds an egg as well as truffle chocolates so I’ll be opening that soon to see what’s in it. Luckily, we are here another three weeks as I don’t want to have to take too much extra luggage home. Our town, Ballina, is still busy gearing up for the visit of Joe Biden. The dress shop mannequins are all decked out in red, white and blue outfits. Another shop window is full of red, white and blue balloons.

I hope you enjoy your Easter chocolate. I'm sure you can manage to eat it all before you leave for home again.

I have three weeks and I'm well in practice so it should be a cinch.

@JudyEv *sigh* I was going to suggest you mail the chocolates to me if you didn't think you could manage eating them all. We bought peanut butter eggs. I prefer caramel/chocolate eggs but our Walmart was sold out of them already. Pretty insisted I buy one egg that is the size of an American football... Then told me I have to split it with her. I'm sure I'll be lucky to get some of it. She eats candy a lot faster than I do.

@JudyEv I haven't really paid attention to any travel plans that he has. But you would get more news of it than we would.

@wolfgirl569 It's a novelty for us I guess. And the Irish seem pleased that he has connections here.

We did, thanks. I still haven't broken the egg up. lol Once it's broken, I know I'll eat it in a very short time. While it's intact, I'll have all that anticipatory pleasure! lol

@Beestring I think I prefer the milk chocolate but I wouldn't knock any of it back.

Years ago I found a box of Lindor dark chocolate balls in one of our stores, boy were they good. It's amazing what trouble people go to in order to impress foreign dignitaries.

No big name dignitaries from foreign countries have ever come to this corner of the US so I don't really know if that happens where they would go.

They seem to have taken him to be one of their own. We do much the same in Australia I guess. Especially for the big names.

We are just back from a long walk. We passed in front of the mall on the way back home. I am glad we did not move the car today.

Our walk was short as Vince still isn't up to much activity. I know our son and DIL were going for a longer walk.

Enjoy those chocolates. . Three weeks is enough to finish them or atleast finish most of them and having little to take back. I bet the shops must be looking all festive with those bright colours. Happy Easter.

Mayo colours are green and gold and Biden's visit is bringing out the red, white and blue so it's getting very colourful indeed.

The positive side of Biden's visit is that the whole town has been given a face-lift. Well, maybe not the whole town but at least a few of the streets.
