Farmer H came home with my anniversary present on Monday evening. He had a nice card, and even wrote something meaningful in it!!! My gift was quite a surprising sight. Not because of what it was, but because of how BIG it was!
Yes. Farmer H brought me a giant box of candy. I'm not complaining! I'm not a plant or flowers person, and I don't want jewelry or clothing. Candy is good. But maybe not quite so much...
Of course I thanked Farmer H. I DID tell him I like the gift, but that I may not open it until after Thanksgiving. You know, because I sure don't need CANDY during four (or more) days of feasting. Yes, I will share the candy. But I get first choice of my favorite kinds!
Moving that box around was like carrying a surfboard! Though I've never actually carried a surfboard. That's how I imagine it would be. Awkward. Do I NEED 33 pieced of candy? Not-Heaven, NO! Do I WANT 33 pieces of candy? Well, maybe 20, heh, heh.
Lucky for me, the back of the box shows the flavors. That's good! You wouldn't want a box of chocolates to be like life!
My favorites are the Dark Chocolate Coconut Cluster, Dark Chocolate Coconut Creme, Dark Chocolate Truffle, Dark Chocolate Orange Creme. For sure, Farmer H can have the Dark Chocolate Vanilla Creme. Everything else is pretty good for me, but those I will share. The Pony doesn't like dark chocolate. Nor strawberry. I imagine the Milk Chocolate Pecan Delight will be one of the first to go.
Thanks, Farmer H. It's the thought that counts. And chocolate is pretty good, too!

I think it all looks good, but you can have the truffle, and the strawberry and orange creme pieces. I don't mind the vanilla. I much prefer the caramelly or nutty candies. I love pecan turtles. OMG especially the dark chocolate ones. Delish!
So nice to see Hick being thoughtful and buying you something that you will truly enjoy. Ranee (BTW, my husband bought me a message in a bottle for me for our anniversary. He ordered it from a glass company in Duluth MN. All handblown glass with an actual message in the bottle. He had to design/write the message and then it was printed out in a calligraphy type format and rolled up and placed inside the bottle and corked. He knows I do not buy much for myself and he knows I always look for the unique item, that is something I will hold and cherish, because it is special. It's really very nice and I was totally surprised as we do not buy each other gifts.)
Rae,
What a nice surprise! It certainly is a unique gift. Very special. The best gift Farmer H ever gave me was my rolly chair for my basement office. He kept it in the BARn until Christmas morning, when he and Genius drive the Gator over to get it.
not caring for chocolate in general makes candy an iffy gift for me. Cut flowers depress me, because they will die. Perfume is something that makes me sneeze, so a scent has to be chosen by me. Live plants and puppies are good choices for the cat whisperer. Mt first laptop was a winner, but my Eddie takes first place!
Kathy,
The way to your heart is clearly through your HEART!
