Shock My Endorphins !

Why is it that hubby can remember to buy you something for Christmas, but he seems to forget those important, oh so meaningful holiday gifts like your anniversary or Valentines day gifts ?
Don't they realize how much meaning those days hold and that the right gift on those days can go along way through out the year ?
You are already stressed out with everyday life and when those special days that he could say "I LOVE YOU" so easily with something that is so easy to get for you, that by the way will bring your stress levels way down, I am told...CHOCOLATE !
Yes ! I said, "CHOCOLATE"!
It is said to perk up your "Feel Good" endorphins, by some medical people somewhere OK!
Now to the important things, Chocolate, chocolate, Gertrude Hawk Chocolate, as a matter of fact.
Her shop has the most scrumptious, gourmet chocolates I have ever tasted.
The candy store is only like a 2 hour drive from here if he really wanted to make me happy, he would go get it TODAY !
Gertrude Hawk Chocolates is located in Dunmore, which is a suburb of Scranton, PA., and just about anyone can find Scranton, for goodness sake.
And believe you me, Gertrude knows her chocolates.
She started working in a candy shop when she was 12 years old and then in 1936 decided to make her own molded gourmet candies and I am s glad she did...YUMMY !
Gertrude is dedicated to creating the most delicious treats, like peanut butter,caramel, raspberry, mint and in lots of shapes and colors. Why she even makes chocolate ice cream cones.
Bet they sell a lot more ice cream now with those gourmet cones.
If hubby can't figure out which treat to buy me they have Smidgen Baskets already packaged or if he really knows me, he could build a gourmet package for me. Ah, well, maybe that is asking a little much of him.
But he definitely needs to go get me Gertrude Hawk Chocolates or order them online and have them sent STAT, as the doctor would say. I need them for medicinal purposes as I feel a grouch coming on.
So many shapes, sizes, colors and aromas...Yummmmm !
