Candy Shop

Saturday, January 15th 2011

After lunch, it only seemed appropriate to pop into the candy shop for a little sweet treat so it turned out to be quite convenient that there was a shop right next to where we had lunch! ;)

The lady was so happy to help us that she gave us samples of her freshly made peanut brittle, and continued to give us more free samples than I've ever seen and could hardly eat! "Try this chocolate, try this candy, here have one of these too..." she went on and on. We were laughing and eating more candy than you can imagine, but we couldn't say no to something the lady made herself. It was like a dream come true!

After receiving so many free pieces, I felt guilty and wanted to buy more than I originally planned. I thought we'd each pick out 1 or 2 pieces of chocolate, but then I ended up buying $6.50 worth of an assortment and when she wouldn't charge us for a bag of her freshly-made peanut brittle, I put the $3.50 change in her tip jar.

I probably should have tipped more on such a slow day for business with all the rain, but she was very grateful. And quite entertaining too, I should add.

Time for a nap and then more live music in the lounge. This weekend keeps getting better and better...

Peace :)
