So glad Pete is home -- and that he brought chocolate

I will let Pete relay more about his Moldovan excursion soon, but for now I am just happy to report he made it home.  After Hurricane Sandy derailed some of his travel plans (or de-air-ed?), he was able to rent a car for the last leg of the trip and drive here from D.C., arriving around lunch-time today.  I'm so thankful for a husband who wants to come home and makes every effort to do so!

And I'm also thankful for a husband who brings home copious amounts of treats.  Since he had taken a full suitcase of items over to Moldova that were mostly for other people (paper goods for Tania's reception, a few things for missionaries and another Moldovan friend), he had a lot of empty space after making those deliveries.  We have been greatly missing the fresh bread we used to buy in Moldova, so I begged him to stock up on that -- and, of course the chocolate!

Ever since we've been back in the U.S., we've been desperately searching for those 2 items -- bread without a bunch of extra chemicals, and good quality chocolate.  The only kinds we've found have been at least quadruple the price we paid in Moldova!

 So now we're set for a little while...

This chocolate supply should last me at least a month week.  :)
