Great Loot - Straight From The Boot

Oh...what is in this bag? I love a gift, and an unexpected one is even better...what could it be?
WOW - It is an Italian Goody Bag, straight, fresh off the plane from ITALY!!! I am so excited. My friend Jim -- okay - I can't call him that-- he is Jimbo to me, since I was fourteen I have called him that when we used to ride all over town in his jeep and give my parents heart attacks, so no matter his station in life, he will always be Jimbo to me... anyhoo. He travels a bunch for work, one of the places...ITALY!! How cool is that? In fact, this past trip, he was there for two weeks and ended up being delayed and had to stay for another week.. yeah...tough huh? A whole extra week in Italy!!!! I went to Italy and got delayed for an extra day... but it was still fun.

Anyway.. Jimbo knows me -- knows I love anything Italian, so I got an Italian surprise. Now...here are the contents...


I know, ya'll are jealous aren't you? And that chocolate probably won't be around for much longer...probably not the lovely orange and lemon "juice" either!!

And there was one other item in that bag...
Yes, my favorite homemade pear preserves...my friends know me well.

Now...enjoy your weekend. I have had a rough week and am thoroughly going to enjoy my Italian goodies...what a way to celebrate the weekend!!

Living Happily in the Moment!
