A Chocolate Blanky

The last week was a farewell to our family as we knew it. Exploring the San Juan Islands and hiking the forests along the Hood Canal made for a great send off.
On Friday my son graduates, although this is a wonderful event it also represents a dynamic change; the beginning of a new chapter. So as I write this the Muppets sing quietly along while fond memories play in my thoughts.

"Saying goodbye, going away
Seems like goodbye's such a hard thing to say
Touching our hands, wondering why
It's time for saying goodbye.

Saying goodbye, why is it sad?
Makes us remember the good times we've had
Much more to say, foolish to try
It's time for saying goodbye.

Don't want to leave, but we both know
Sometimes its better to go
Somehow I know, we'll meet again
Not sure quite where and I don't know just when

You're in my heart, so until then
It's time for saying goodbye.

Somehow I know, we'll meet again
Not sure quite where and I don't know just when
You're in my heart so until then
Wanna smile
Wanna cry
Saying goodbye

La la la la, la la la la
It's time for saying goodbye
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la-la la la."
Lyrics: Saying Goodbye, Muppets

The Chocolate Blanky:
1 ripe banana sliced
1/3 cup Traveler's Rich melted in 1/4 cup water (together in the microwave)
Put the sliced bananas in a bowl and blanket the chocolate sauce on top.

Simply comforting.
