“All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” ―
The second date with P. was last night. It was going to be tonight, but I have stuff to do before leaving tomorrow to Newport, RI, so I decided to do it a day earlier.
The restaurant we wanted to go, Red Plum in Mamaroneck, was doing only take out. He suggested we get take out and go to his apartment or house (he is living in the apartment and the house is up for sale). I politely declined.
We went a few doors down to Frankie and Fanucci’s instead. The food was good, the usual Italian fare. After dinner we crossed the street and went to Milk N Cookies. OMG! The triple chocolate cookie was amazing.
Tonight was fun, but not as fun as the first date. He seemed off, and I told him that. He apologized and said it has been crazy for him at work – accounting season after all.
There were still sparks and we will be seeing each other when I return next week. 🙂
My birthday is on Sunday (the big 55!!), and I had mentioned I like chocolates. He showed up with Godiva chocolates.
Rob, somebody beat you to it! Rob, my dear friend from https://forfriendswithoutborders.wordpress.com/ and I have this joke that he is going to bring me Godiva chocolates. Well, I think it is more of my wishing for men to show up at my door with chocolates lol
Godiva will be closing all their stores, but apparently my date was able to find one still open.
Don’t despair Rob 😉 The good news is that there is always room for chocolate.
“There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.” ―
Happy early birthday wishes, Ana! I suppose I shall get my naughty gravatar and head back home, sans chocolates. 😉
So disappointed Rob 🙁 Are you giving up that easily?
Stay and fight for the chocolate!! 😉
Thank you for the birthday wishes! ♥♥
haha! Well, you did say that my naked butt was welcome here, so maybe I’ll stick around. But, you have to share those chocolates with me. 😉
phew, I thought I had lost you 🙂
I will save you the flavors I don’t care for, but hurry up. In desperate times I will eat even the ones I don’t care for 🙁
Jeez, not sharing the yummy ones?
Perhaps you favor the flavors I don’t care for. Make a note: I will fight for coconut and coffee flavored chocolates. I don’t care for liquor, fruit, and nuts.
I’m more of a solid chocolate kind of person. So, I get those, right?
We will have to split those. With communication and compromise no one needs to get hurt or go home sad 😉
Or craving chocolate. I like the way that you think.

Thank you Larry,
I have been blessed with indeed so much love and happiness. The problems are just a tiny blip in the beauty of my live.
Thank you so much and many blessings to you! ♥♥
Happy B-Day! I’ll just hav to eat your chocolates, as WV is about 10 hour drive from RI (the Mrs. grew up at the foot of the Jamestown Bridge on the way to Newport, so if you are driving home over the bridge, you will be looking at her mother’s home… if you knew which one it is.) – Oscar
Hi Oscar,
Please eat them. I probably gained 10 pounds this past week from all the chocolates and cakes.
The drive was beautiful and so are the houses by the bridge. I imagine it was a great place to grow up. Does she miss it? Do you guys return often?
Thank you and blessings! ♥♥
It is the only “beach” we go to. Ironically, what was a seasonal summer community 100 years ago became a year-round, family oriented community 50 years ago, but is turning into a seasonal community again as a new round of gentrification occurs with Nuevo-riche city folks buy up the homes/lots and double or triple the size of the home and block the locals’ view of the Bay. With such social changes, we are now considered South County Shit Kickers and despised when we come home. Guess we just don’t have the millions to afford multiple houses, have kids with beautify teeth, and sen them to the best schools….
indeed Oscar, it is sad to see that new money can be used to build and improve, but more often than not, it can destroy the history and displace the locals and original owners 🙁
As is often the case, the wealth is not the issue but the attitude that comes with inheriting or earning wealth (entitlement). One of these days, I shall write a post on City People versus Country People, which is really the story of gentrification versus neighborhoods.
Great point Oscar! I will look forward to reading that. I always learn a lot from your posts!
Wishing you a blessed Easter! ♥♥
He sounds like a keeper – huge box of chocolates and he is an accountant!!! Are their sparks?
Hi Kerry, There were plenty of sparks and fireworks 🙂 fingers crossed for more…
Blessings! ♥♥
Whoo Hoo! I am vicariously excited – it’s like watching Bridgerton on Netflix. 💝💝
Don’t get too excited… read my next post 🙁
My favorite people are chocoholics. I’m just leery of anyone who does not love chocolate.
Haha, I love that and couldn’t agree more!! Blessings! ❤❤
