An old fashioned treat

 Have you ever noticed how sometimes, when you're walking through a store something will just reach out and grab you or sneak into your cart when your back is turned?  When I was much younger and had toddlers riding in my shopping cart, I blamed it on them.  Those littles have amazingly long arms.  But these days it still seems to happen.  This week, for example, a box of chocolate covered cherries landed in my basket at Walgreens.  A much smaller target than a shopping cart but it happened.  But these candies were covered in more than chocolate.  A sweet memory accompanied them.  Chocolate covered cherries were my mother-in-law's very favorite candy and every year my husband would give her a box for Christmas. She always shared them of course.  So, in her honor, I shared them with my house guest and we finished off the box quite quickly.  Sweet memories indeed.
