Norman Love Chocolates for the Holidays

My kids will be visiting, so I paid a visit to Norman Love Confections,
one of the best chocolatiers in the world, for a couple of boxes of chocolates.


Alex helped me.  Alex is graduating from college and going on to medical school.


The chocolates are not only delicious, they are beautiful.


Ramona is a customer who lit up the store with her Santa hat, warmth and smile.


Annie -- a Naples realtor -- is a friend of Alex's mother and told me about his medical school plans.

    Beautiful people! Are the only kind that are allowed in your part of Florida?? Hop over to Cuba; that country and its people are a photographer's dream!

    You always seem to find the pretty ladies, Jack!
    I was watching one of those property search shows on BBC Canada and they were in Siracusa which reminded me of your trip so I went back to your pics for another tour. Lovely.

    I remember Norman Love from your previous visit(s). "Couple of boxes?" One to tide you over until the kids arrive...and then the polite, unopened one? Or am I saying more about myself than I care to admit?

    But after he graduates Alex will have to tell his patients to cool it with the candy. All things in moderation, though.
