The beginning of an acrylic on canvas painting of a blueberry field. The fields turn bright red in the fall and are gorgeous additions to the Maine scenery. Ths has a long way to go.

OMgoodness...went to Walmart and saw that the Keurig "coffee man" also has hot chocolate. (I would pass by and say I didn't drink coffee.) He said he had peppermint marshmallows also...so I thought "why not". WELL. now I know where to find the best brewed hot chocolate in town ! May have to bring my own peppermint marshmallows but OMgoodness. I am fussy about my hot chocolate...and it was so good. Now I know to check all the coffee demo people to see if they have the good hot chocolate. Can you tell I LOVE chocolate...good chocolate.

Sam’s /Best Buy/home/Walmart CHOCOLATE
—————————————————————
PS. I lucked out at Walmart…more hot Chocolate.
Didn’t luck out at Sam’s.
First the detergent aisle…mugged by the smell of clothes detergent.
And THEN, a lady walked by me with an annoying perfume
that set my sinus’ on fire. Unfortunately, she had walked from
the area I was heading to, and the smell of her perfume still lingered
in the air ! FLW. (four letter words…you can choose.).
