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.
