Sarah and Choclolate

This weekend I went to my friend Sarah's baby shower. I've known Sarah since she was a baby, so it was a little weird, but still fun. The ladies that hosted (Sarah's mom, Debbie, and our friend Jane) did a great job. Wonderful food and great fellowship.




This is Sarah opening gifts with her husband, Brian. They are having a boy. I can't wait for the little guy to get here.


Sunday my mom and I went back to The Henry Ford, specifically to see the Chocolate exhibit. It was interesting, very educational, but not what I expected.



This was interesting. It's a picture of chocolate makers at the turn of the last century making unsweetened chocolate into bars. Look at the big pile of chocolate!
I wanted to learn more about the differences between the different kinds of chocolate, what makes Callebaut Callebaut, for example. But it was much more political, Spain conquering the Mayans, etc. I know that's a big part of chocolate's history, but why exclude the other? It was still interesting.


There's lots of other cool stuff at the Henry Ford Museum.




This is my mom on the Rosa Parks bus.



This is the chair Abraham Lincoln was sitting in when he was shot. When I was a kid, this chair was out in the open and you could touch it.


Anyway, good weekend. I am much blessed.
