“There is nothing better than a friend, unless it is a friend with chocolate.” ~Charles Dickens

Oh, Jennie, I suspect we could be such great friends!
peace
Indeed! š
Chocolate (and a friend’s blog) are always great gifts to share! This was a very nice post, Jennie.
Jed Record is one of my favorite bloggers. š
Robin, my friend Sarah at First Night Design tells me that Charles Dickens did not in fact say this. Thank you Sarah!
Haha amen. Well said!!
š Thanks!
I had never imagined Dickens liking chocolate, so this was doubly enjoyable.
Best wishes, Pete.
I had not imagined it either. That’s why I had to reblog. Glad you picked up on that! Best to you, Pete.
Not a Dickens quote after all, Pete. Thank goodness Sarah at First Night Design let me know.
Aha! She knows her stuff, does Sarah!
Yes, she does. Good thing!
I don’t always, Pete! It just didn’t ring true for Dickens because it sounded too modern, so I had to check!
Good thing you did! It did sound very / too modern, which also made it so intriguing.
My pleasure except that it was horrible to disabuse everyone of the notion!
ā¹ļø Yes, and I rectified. š A hundred thank yous, Sarah!
I saw. Well done for going to all that trouble!
The least I could do! š
Love the quote and I hate to disappoint but it wasn’t Dickens. Research by someone on Wikipedia says it’s from a merchandising site called The Printwick Papers. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:Charles_Dickens!
Oh, no! I’m so glad you told me, Sarah. As a Dickens quote I just had to reblog it. Better to know. Thank you! š
Oh dear, yours and your friend’s post are propagating the myth!
Yikes, you are right, Sarah. I think I need to go back and set the record straight. Like now!
Thank you again, Sarah! I just went back and let each blogger know. I simply forgot that you had told me. Terrible. So glad you reminded me so I could set the record straight! Best to you. š

I couldn’t agree more! Dickens knew the secret of life š
Indeed! š
He did know the secret of life, but I have learned from my friend Sarah at First Night Design that this is
Not a Dickens quote. ā¹ļø
Curiosity got the better of me, so I checked. It was said by Linda Grayson, author of The Flutter Blossom family and the Spring Fairy Faire š
Good to know!
I am a friend to anyone who has chocolate….just kidding. It depends on if they learned to share as children. This post is so cute and funny! Dickens knew how to laugh! KD š
I was pleasantly surprised that Dickens said that! š
Not a Dickens quote after all. I learned this from my friend Sarah at First Night Design.
Hi Jennie, Well, who ever said it, as my vote of confidence about chocolate!! š
Mine, too!
Jennie, we are of like minds!! š K D
Indeed we are! š
Once again, Charles Dickens was ahead of his time!
I was quite surprised that he said this. Yes, he was ahead of his time!
My friend Sarah at First Night Design tells me that Charles Dickens in fact did not say this. ā¹ļø Thank you, Sarah.
