Expectations of Delight

Tomorrow, I am headed over the mountain and into the woods to visit the great MD known also as Nduckster and the honorable and loveable Mr. P. This trip has been planned for some time and I am sure preparations are being made on both sides. These trips are as old as time, the adventures never ending, but the delights of them are constant. They include the finer things in life, good cheese, good wine, but most of all good chocolate.... We are constantly trying new varieties, new flavors, new everything desperately in search of cacao perfection. We long ago ruled out milk chocolate it’s simply just not refined enough for our pleasure trained palates. I have purchased three varieties of dark for the trip, and I can not wait for the taste test. I have been in possession of them for over 24 hours and I have not touched them this is truly a testament to my self restraint.... I even love their names; I mean how can you not love something called Twilight Delight, Midnight Reverie, or Evening Dream? I also always bring a token of my appreciation when I go; usually I find this item sometime long before the trip. Sadly at this point I am without it, I must focus on this immediately. I am planning on heading to my favorite local home decorating store called Celadon (http://www.celadonathome.com/) where I am sure I will find what I seek. There are many things I look forward to with these trips most of all is the "warm fuzzies" her home provides the other is the rest and relaxation I am afforded while there.... My cell gets no service unless I place it at this very precise and perfect angle leaning against the stained glass window in my bathroom. Another great thing about Nduckster’s is that I get not to be a slave to the phone which it is sadly something we have all become and in turn expect from each other. I have issues with this but that’s a whole post in and of it self. This trip however is different, there is SNOW on the ground and if god shines down on me I will be able to see it fall from the sky, SNOW. Nduckster and Mr. P are reading this and shaking their heads, they don't need anymore snow. They are worried about the driveway and where I will park upon my arrival (thanks for caring Mr. P). MD is worried about the condition of the roads and as she posted me yesterday they are "crappy". I get that the snow for them is an issue, I am concerned about the roads and the drive, and I trust that it will all be ok and that Mr. P will make sure I have a place for my car. None of this can damper the excitement I have for the fact that tomorrow Calli my very southern dog will for the first time in her life see and play in SNOW. She is a golden retriever, she was bread for the cold, she loves nothing more than to be a mess, create a mess, and live in a mess, my good friend named her Pig Pen a while back and no other name is more fitting. Calli in the snow will be like heaven on earth for her, I CAN NOT WAIT!
